Ep 38: Though they only met a few times, this teenage couple claimed to be in love. And after one of them winds up taking his own life, evidence would soon surface through the thousands of text messages they sent that the surviving teen may not have deserved any sympathy.

Would this young man still be alive today if not for this girl and can words be enough to convict someone of murder?
