So this genius lied about his entire identity and ended up killing someone over someone else who lied about her identity. And yet he was shocked to find out that the woman could have been lying to him about who she really was. Humanity never ceases to amaze me.

She should have been charged on some kind of sexual misconduct for taking the pervy upskirt photos and distributing them without consent.

This case seems like it can’t possibly be true, like there’s just no way it’s true, but somehow it’s all true, and these two ghouls are real, and this young man is dead. Incredible

Not everyone is into details of brutal murders. Most of the victims here did stupid stuff, naive, placed themselves at risk. At best, these “stories” (no this happened to real people) could be a red flag for anyone bright enough to understand what not to do if you like being alive.

I had a feeling from the get-go that this was going to have some kind of catfishing swerve, but I never expected it to be quite so gross.

What in the actual **** is wrong with this mother!?

This is one of the wildest cases I’ve heard. I feel so bad for the real Jessi, she was failed and victimized several times over. Like how would you ever process your mother doing that AND finding out in the way that she did. Hope she’s doing well, wherever she is.

But I just was not expecting the details about the mother upskirting her own daughter and exploiting the images to strange men online. A fantasy world is one thing but that's something else all together and she should have been charged for what she did to her kid. And poor Brian. He didn't deserve what he got at all. Those two adults should be so ashamed of themselves.

he may not have deserved to die but ''poor Brian''...I don't know. He went out of his way to date a 17-18 year old and get in her pants while demonizing the other guy and going out of his way to torture him at his job. From my understanding, that's a pretty jerk move. He wasn't a poor guy. He was a jerk imo.

There's was no law against doing so in the USA in 2005 and that hasn't changed since. It only became a crime in the UK in 2019. But what point would it serve? The story is about idiots and liars believing the words of other idiots and liars without any evidence of who they are and then someone ending up dead because of it. I can't imagine anyone - even in 2005 - talking to another for over a year without seeing them on cam. It's mind-bogglingly naive.

@@markcynic808 What point would it serve? She is also a sexual predator. Against her own daughter, let alone Brian. Sure he's an adult but she obviously targeted an immature person (witness his childish behavior toward Tom) that was 20 years her junior. It's not a story with a moral about stupid behavior, it's a real life criminal and frankly super gross person (in the spirit if not the letter of the law) who ideally should see some consequences. But yeah in 2005 there probably was no such law. I googled it and since 2013, 30 states plus D.C. now have some law against nonconsensual exposure of explicit material, with varying degrees of penalty depending on the state - some just a fine, others prison. I assume her daughter hasn't sued her because that would just be more heartache.

@markcynic808

@eliannafreely5725 Again, you missed the point of this episode and, in addition, called her mother a sexual predator, which is pure fantasy on your part, as she has no convictions for any such offences. It's the same kind of fantasy that led to the death of one unfortunate young man, which is the whole point of this episode. I found no federal law changes in the USA. There are now states with laws that try to cover the issue of upskirt photos, but they appear to regard such offences as misdemeanors, not felonies, unlike shooting someone dead.

@MissVanHelsing

@klientproby yeah, right? Also, comparing this case to other online relationships ending in murder or death, it would feel like justice had been better served had she been charged with something regarding the man's death. The only difference is, she wasn't conspiring to have him killed or coercing somebody into going through with suicide.
