Michelle Carter and Contrad Roy III: Friendship explored
Michelle Carter and Conrad Roy III were supposedly entangled in an unusual relationship that existed primarily through text messages, phone calls and social media. The duo met in 2012, while they were both visiting relatives in Naples, Florida. Though both of them lived in Massachusetts, in two towns that were about an hour apart, Carter and Roy only met up about five times in person during the two years they were in a relationship.
Their passionate and intense relationship mainly existed in a virtual world where they exchanged thousands of texts, in which they explored their deepest darkest thoughts, including Roy's suicidal tendencies and Carter's eating disorder.
Though initially Carter would encourage Conrad to get help for his mental illness and urge him to not commit suicide, later texts between the duo showed how she encouraged Roy to take his life and even chastisised him for not being able to go through with his plan.
Ultimately, Conrad Roy took his own life by poisoning himself with carbon monoxide inside hs truck and Carter was convicted of being responsible for his death because she had encouraged him to do so.
