A two-part series — The comprehensive story of 18-year-old Kimberly Proctor, and the two classmates she thought were her friends.

*Additional content warning: this series includes graphic and distressing details of a murder and sexual assault, and brief mention of sexual assault against a child and cruelty to animals.

This series examines a number of issues related to the dynamics of teenage relationships in the online era, and utilizes case files released by police, news archives, and relevant studies, statistics and scholarly articles. Our goal is to highlight common manipulation tactics employed by abusive people, the pitfalls of navigating consent, boundaries and rejection, mental health, nature vs nurture and more. This case is closely related to our previous episode, Cherish.

Please respect the privacy of those involved in this case.
