When a Catfish Kills: 5. 3500

from Crime Next Door Hosted by BBC Sounds

What do you do when someone you trust turns out to not exist? When ‘Chloe’ starts messaging other teenage girls on social media she is friendly. Fun. Interested. Soon she sends explicit photos, and asks her new friends to send some back. That’s when she changes and the blackmail begins. Because ‘Chloe’ isn’t a real girl. She’s a catfish. And her depraved demands have fatal consequences. This episode features real online messages, read aloud by an AI voice.
