High School Grad Killed After Dumping Her Boyfriend: The Murder of Lauren Astley

Lauren Dunne Astley was 18 years old and had her whole life ahead of her. In the fall of 2011 she was planning on attending Elon University for college, but not before spending her last summer at home in Massachusetts with her friends. But that all changed on July 3rd, 2011, when Nathaniel Fujita, her recent ex-boyfriend, strangled her to death in his garage. His motive? Their breakup. On March 7, 2013, he was found guilty and convicted of first-degree murder. Amidst this tragedy, Lauren’s parents have dedicated their lives to educating teenagers about the dangers of breakup violence and have traveled all around to promote their non-profit, The Lauren Dunne Astley Memorial Fund, which seeks to bring awareness to breakup violence, and promote education surrounding the matter.Donate to NCMEC through my campaign!https://give.missingkids.org/campaign... Shop my Merch! https://kendallrae.shopThis episode is sponsored by:HuggiesZocDocCheck out Kendall's other podcasts:The Sesh & Mile HigherFollow Kendall!YouTubeTwitterInstagramFacebookMile Higher ZooREQUESTS:General case suggestion form: https://bit.ly/32kwPlyForm for people directly related/ close to the victim: https://bit.ly/3KqMZLjDiscord: https://discord.com/invite/an4stY9BCNCONTACT:For Business Inquiries - [email protected]
