Case 267

Brian Barrett

In the spring of 2005, two 18-year-olds met in an online chat room and immediately hit it off. Jessi went by the username TalHotBlond, while her new friend Tommy called himself MarineSniper. It wasn’t long before the two had fallen in love and gotten engaged…

But less than a year into their relationship, the romance would be destroyed by a shocking revelation that ultimately led to devastating consequences…
