Conrad Roy III's Father

But he swore at that time after that he would never attempt suicide again.

And things did seem to be getting better.

A year later, by June 2014, Conrad had graduated from high school, gotten a scholarship to college, and earned his captain's license.

That must have been a really big day, Conrad getting his captain's license.

Are you feeling good about the place that he's in?

I felt that he was still, like, struggling.

But I felt very, very positive that he wasn't going to do anything to harm himself.

It was right around this time when Conrad recorded that private video sharing his innermost thoughts.

On July 12th, Conrad headed to the beach with his mom and two sisters.

Lynn vividly remembers walking the shoreline with her son.

He seemed in good spirits that day.

We talked about school and he's like, I'm not sure where I am right now in my head.

I said, well, you just got your captain's license.

You don't have to worry about anything right now.

He's looking toward the future.

Yeah.

When they returned from the beach, Conrad drove his sisters to get ice cream.

He was laughing.

I said something, and he was, like, smiling.

Conrad told his mom he was going to his friend's house and wouldn't be back for dinner.
