Carly hung on to his every word. Carly soon shared with her mother that she’d “met” this awesome guy named Brandon Kane. Within 18 months, Brandon quickly became Carly’s entire world. Unfortunately, Brandon Kane didn't exist.The ease with which one online predator was able to groom, lure, and murder fifteen-year-old Carly Ryan in Australia would not only rock the nation but would make headlines globally.
