Michelle Carter and Conrad Roy fell in love in 2012. Roy was found dead in his car in July 2014. It looked like a standard suicide case until investigators found text messages from Carter encouraging Roy to kill himself.
fame, the new two-part documentary features the families, friends and communities affected by 18-year-old Roy's suicide and the court case that ensued.
"They were each other's confidante," Carr told E! News about the relationship between Carter and Roy."They communicated so much at these crazy intense intervals and they really shared things that they hadn't shared with others. There was an intimacy and closeness that was insane given the fact that they only met a handful of times."Michelle Carter and Conrad Roy fell in love in 2012.
"Michelle Carter is captivating. She's beautiful, she's privileged, she's somebody who remains a cipher. She did not testify in her own defense. We feel pretty unclear about what her motives were. The prosecution alleges that she helped convince a guy to kill himself to become popular. That's too simplistic," Carr said.
In the documentary, Carr and her team explore the relationship between Roy and Carter with access to thousands of their texts, family members, friends and law enforcement.
