Michelle Carter and Conrad Roy met during a chance encounter while on vacation, but immediately connected through their struggles with mental health. Over time Conrad’s wellbeing declined and, instead of pushing him to get help, Michelle ultimately began helping him prepare for his own suicide. When the designated day arrived and Conrad began having second thoughts Michelle put the pressure on for him to go through with it – and he did.

The real question is – were Michelle’s true intentions to help Conrad, or help herself at whatever cost?

An expose revealing decades of racism and discrimination within the LAPD finally puts enough pressure on the case, and with the help of familial DNA an arrest is finally made – along with a shocking discover that the actual body count for this monster may be much larger. The real question is: at the core of this story, what truly allowed the Grim Sleeper to get away with it for so long, and how many secrets did he take to his grave?
