How did Michelle Carter and Conrad Roy know each other?

Hulu’s series The Girl From Plainville tells the story of Michelle and Conrad.

Prior to his tragic death, the two met while on vacation in Florida in 2012, where they found out that they both resided in Massachusetts.

At the time, Michelle was visiting her grandparents while Conrad was visiting his great aunt, according to The Cinemaholic.

Throughout the course of their vacation, the two became friends and visited each other a hand full of times between 2012 and 2014, HBO’s documentary I Love You, Now Die reveals.

Despite not seeing each other, the two started a relationship, and Michelle was often referred to as his girlfriend.

What happened to Conrad Roy III?

In 2014, Conrad tragically took his own life from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Following his death, an investigation was opened where police found out that Michelle would often send text messages to him encouraging him to comment suicide.

One of the messages sent by Michelle just four days before his death read: “YOU KEEP PUSHING IT OFF! You just said you were gonna do it tonight and now you’re saying eventually.”

In February 2015, Michelle was then charged with involuntary manslaughter and later found guilty and sentenced to 15 months in prison.

In January 2020, Michelle was released on good behavior and put on probation which is set to end in 2022.

The whereabouts of the now 24-year-old remain unclear as she has managed to stay out of the spotlight since her release.
