Michelle Carter was just 17 years old when she coerced her boyfriend to end his life.
“I think your parents know you’re in a really bad place. I’m not saying they want you to do it but I honestly feel like they can accept it,” she texted her 18-year-old boyfriend, Conrad Roy.
On July 13, 2014, Roy’s body was discovered in his truck in a Kmart carpark in Massachusetts. Police deduced he had committed suicide.
