Key Points:
- James Wehr, 27, and Alexis “Lexi” Kramer, 22, died in a fiery crash early Sunday when Wehr’s 2019 McLaren hit a tree in Irvine, California, splitting the car and causing it to burst into flames.
- Kramer, a Hooters calendar girl from Florida, had flown to California at Wehr’s invitation after a month of online communication; this was their first in-person meeting.
- Wehr had told Kramer he was separated and finalizing a divorce, though it had not been legally filed, and Kramer believed she was meeting a man who loved her despite family warnings to be skeptical.
- The couple spent the day together before the crash, including breakfast, dinner, and drinks, with social media posts showing Wehr’s car outside their hotel.
- Police reported the McLaren accelerated rapidly from a red light before losing control and crashing; the investigation continues without confirmation of who was driving or the vehicle’s exact speed.
