Conrad Roy III, from Fairhaven, Massachusetts, was 18-years-old and battling with depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. His girlfriend, Michelle Carter, also 18, was one of the few people he could talk to about his feelings and everything else that he was going through.

The conversation continued later that afternoon.

5:08 PM - Conrad returned from the beach and wanted to back out.

The last message was sent at 6:25 PM.


Following this exchange, Michelle went out of the house and talked to Conrad for 43 minutes. According to the court documents, there was a moment when Conrad panicked and stepped out of the car, but Michelle allegedly convinced him to get back inside the car.

They found Conrad's body in his pick up truck after he was reported missing.
