In 2015, 17-year-old Michelle Carter was indicted on charges connected to the suicide of her 18-year-old\nboyfriend, Conrad Roy Jr III. In a controversial 2017 trial, a Taunton, Massachusetts jury found her guilty\nof involuntary manslaughter. A similar case occurred in May 2019, though it received much less publicity.\nBoston College students Inyoung You and her boyfriend Alexander Urtula had been dating for 18 months\nwhen he died by suicide. An investigation would uncover an abundance of abusive text messages from\nInyoung in the months leading up to Alexander\u2019s death. The Carter and You cases involved problematic\ntext messages that many argue are what drove both victims in these cases to end their lives. But where\ndoes free will end and the power of suggestion take over? Is it possible to brainwash someone into\nending their own life? Let\u2019s see if we get any closer to answers as we explore Alexander Urtula\u2019s case in\nthis episode of MURDERISH.\n\nCheck us out: Visit Murderish.com for more info about the show and Creator/Host, Jami.
