The Suicide She Wouldn’t Let Him Stop - The Michelle Carter and Conrad Roy Case
This is one of the most disturbing and messed up cases we’ve ever covered.
It is about a teenage girl convincing her boyfriend to kill himself.
And not just failing to stop him.
When he got scared and tried to back out, she told him to keep going.
But the more you look at the details, the worse it gets, because there are moments where it looks like his death had become a story she was already telling before it even happened.
Full description
Michelle Carter and Conrad Roy’s case is one of the most disturbing we’ve covered.
It is about a teenage girl convincing her boyfriend to kill himself. But not just that. According to what Michelle later told a friend, when Conrad got scared and tried to back out, she told him to get back in.
In this episode of Tell Me The Crime, we look at the texts, the pressure, the promise, the messages to friends before Conrad was even dead, and the question that makes this case so hard to shake: was this just encouragement, or was it intervention against the part of him that was still trying to live?
This episode discusses suicide and coercive text messages. Listener discretion is advised.
