Conrad Roy III's Father

Most horrible time in my life.

The rest of Conrad's family was in disbelief.

I just saw him.

Scott Gordon of the Fairhaven Police Department was assigned to the case.

His first impression was suicide by carbon monoxide.

It was apparent that he placed a water pump in the rear of his truck and eventually he passed away as a result of the carbon monoxide from that.

To those who knew Conrad best, it didn't make sense.

Had they missed something?

Conrad had been getting help, taking medication, and seemed hopeful about his future.

His grandmother remembered him using that very pump to help out his dad just days before.

And his father recalled the two of them working on a job together a week earlier, setting up fireworks on a barge.

As they struggled with their grief, they got comfort from a surprising source, Michelle Carter.

She reached out to Lynn through text messages, consoling her, saying Conrad loved her very much.

Did you feel like you were getting support or just a connection to Conrad somehow?

I mean, I told her I loved her.

She told me so many great things about myself that he had said.

I don't know, she was just there for me when I needed her.

Conrad's aunts also remember getting messages from Michelle.

She had sent messages of condolences and that she never tried so hard in her life to save someone and that she wishes that she could have saved him.

And at the wake, she came through and introduced herself.
