183: The Trunk Murders

We end our series on Kills Who Kill with a really unusual case.  The suicide of Conrad Roy might have easily been a cut and dry case for police investigators...until they decide to charge his cell phone and see that perhaps Conrad was having second thoughts about taking his own life after all....if it weren't for the harrowing messages from Michelle Carter is it possible he would still be with us today? Take a listen to decide for yourself.    Sources: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/food-drink/mcdonalds-robber-chicken-nuggets-breakfast-food-because-it-was-still-too-early.amp https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.southcoasttoday.com/news/20170615/timeline-of-michelle-carter-case%3ftemplate=ampart https://www.thoughtco.com/death-of-conrad-roy-iii-971112 https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/06/12/health/text-message-suicide-trial/index.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.womenshealthmag.com/life/amp28282664/michelle-carter-parents/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/US/words-kill-guilty-verdict-texting-suicide-trial-raises/story%3fid=48093522 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/amp27704746/who-is-michelle-carter/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.yahoo.com/amphtml/lifestyle/prosecution-defense-wildly-different-theories-220000495.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/amp27704746/who-is-michelle-carter/ https://youtu.be/izcjrYzXOkQ https://www.madinamerica.com/2017/09/part-vi-adult-society-betrayed-michelle-carter-conrad-roy/ https://www.masslive.com/news/2017/06/michelle_carter_told_multiple.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.womenshealthmag.com/life/amp28284327/michelle-carter-text-messages-conrad-roy/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/death-by-text-the-case-against-michelle-carter/ Music by Jonas Bjornstad Cover Art by Charnell

It's paranormal week on Crime Curious, and this case is a doozy as it is one of the few cases in the world where the paranormal activity was actually argued and presented in a court of law.
