Case 155

Danniella Vian

It wasn’t unusual for 25-year-old Danniella Vian to lose her phone. So when her mother-in-law Julie received a phone call from a stranger saying he had Danniella’s mobile, this wasn’t a cause for concern. The previous day, Danniella had made a highly anticipated car purchase and spent the night out celebrating with friends. Julie assumed she would resurface soon and be eager to pick up the phone. 

But when Daniella still hadn’t made contact two days later, Julie knew something was terribly wrong. She logged into Daniella’s Facebook account looking for clues and came across something that made her blood run cold.
