FAIRHAVEN, Mass. (WPRI) — A Massachusetts teenage girl, who has been accused of allegedly encouraging her boyfriend to kill himself, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter.
According to Fairhaven police, Conrad Roy III took his own life, but not before having second thoughts about it.
Michelle Carter, the boy’s girlfriend, was the last person to text Roy before he killed himself.
Investigators said the conversations between the two, at the very least, did not help coax the teen out of committing suicide.
The 18-year-old died of carbon monoxide poisoning while sitting in his truck behind a K-Mart last July in Fairhaven.
Carter claimed that she loved her boyfriend, yet lied to her friends about knowing the whereabouts of Roy who was missing.
Before lying to a friend claiming she hoped Roy was still alive, she texted him and said, “let me know when you’re gonna do it.”
Roy had a history of depression and has attempted to commit suicide before, according to family members.
Carter also never called 911, but instead continued to text her friends trying to get sympathy. She also sent messages to Roy’s mother after his death.
“I tried talking him out of it so many times,” said Carter in a text message to Roy’s mother. “And telling him how we would always be together and he wanted that, but he thought he would never truly be happy with himself.”
However, detectives found a text she sent to a friend back in September contradicting what was written to Roy’s mother.
“His death was my fault like honestly I could have stopped him,” said Carter in a text message to a friend. “I was on the phone with him and he got out of the car because it was working and he was scared and I [expletive] told him to get back in.”
Carter, who was 17 at the time, will be tried as an adult in juvenile court.
She is scheduled to appear in court April 17.

GOD DAMMIT, GHIDOR--
Oh. Shit. Sorry.
Jokes aside, this is pretty f***ed up. It's one thing to capitalize on one's demise. It's another to actually *encourage* someone to off themselves, and THEN capitalize on it. This girl has a special table reserved for her in hell.

Unfortunately, felonious douchebaggery isn't a grime, though I can promise you this manipulative behavior will only get worse with time. Sociopathic tendencies (new diagnosis be damned) are beyond evident.

Are we supposed to infer that the mental health awareness support thing is related to the suicide? Like she set up her story of turning personal tragedy into becoming an inspirational do-gooder?
If so, this sounds like it's going to become some TV movie or something in the future.

Once again, mentally handicapped people have been manipulated by cruel-minded individuals seeking token kudos.
Basically, she wanted him to die so she'd look good in the long term. Shit, man.

If so, this sounds like it's going to become some TV movie or something in the future. She used it for her own personal gain in a number of ways. Running the charity based on his name to make herself look good, grabbing sympathy, etc. She definitely has sociopathic tendencies.

Whatever legal outcome she has, she seriously needs to get some therapy. As it stands, she sounds to be a danger to people around her.

Running the charity based on his name to make herself look good, grabbing sympathy, etc. She definitely has sociopathic tendencies. Like I said, if we could still diagnose sociopathy, she'd be a candidate, or at least severe narcissistic personality disorder. My thing is, if this Munchausenesque move on her part is any indicator, I'm more concerned with what she'll do to keep the attention going. There are four points (we used to call it the homicidal triad), and I'm curious where she would fit with them. Currently, it's a history of fires, hurting animals, bedwetting, and (the newest one just added) sexually inappropriate and aggressive behavior. As it stands, I dont' have the info to infer any kind of diagnosis, but her actions, especially at her relatively young age (too young to diagnose sociopathy even by the old standards) would indicate a high probability of future acts that are similar or more severe.

Not to make light of such a tragic situation, but if there is one thing I am glad for in my maturity is that I survived all that ridiculous teenage drama.
