Conrad Roy III's Father

And this was just supposed to be

Some R&R?

Her grandparents were friends with our great aunt.

And his sister Camden was like, oh, my brother met a girl.

And the three of them all hung out with her for just a short while.

When they returned from Florida, Conrad and Michelle continued to stay in touch through text messages.

Michelle lived in Plainville, Massachusetts, about an hour away from Conrad.

The two had a lot in common.

She was a softball player.

He played baseball.

Friends describe both of them as quiet and funny.

And even though the two communicated regularly, Conrad's Aunt Becky says he never mentioned Michelle.

He had other girlfriends where, you know, you knew their names and you had met them.

She was not someone that he talked about.

Apparently, he kept a lot to himself.

By the time he was 17, he had checked into psychiatric facilities a few times, suffering from deep depression.

His mom says one time, on the day he was discharged, he attempted suicide by swallowing a bottle of cough syrup.

He felt bad.

I said, Conrad, you have no idea how much you were loved.

And I appreciate it.
