Conrad Roy III's Father

Prosecutors were basically saying Michelle convinced Conrad to take his own life so she could be popular.

They believed her plan was to get attention by being the grieving girlfriend.

They pointed out a text exchange she had with Conrad shortly before he died.

She says, am I your girlfriend?

And he talks about something else.

She goes, no, am I your girlfriend?

I need to know, sort of like to tell people.

So I think she wanted confirmation of the label before he died.

A day before his death, prosecutors say Michelle tested out her plan of being the grieving girlfriend.

She texted Sam Boardman, I'm losing hope.

I think he really did it, even though she knew Conrad was alive.

Three minutes later, she texted Conrad.

The generator will work 100% and quick.

I don't get why you just don't use that.

She's telling her friends that he's missing.

He might have committed suicide.

When she knows exactly where she is, she's talking to him.

And then she made sure to instruct him before he did die that he should write her a suicide letter and that his last tweet should be to her because she wanted to get a shout out from him.

Yes.

The Commonwealth also claimed Michelle tried to cover her tracks by sending Conrad text messages after she knew he was dead.
