The True Story Behind The Girl From Plainville: Why Michelle Carter’s Case Still Haunts

The Aftermath

A few days after his son died, Conrad Roy Jr. found a notebook with Conrad’s iPhone and laptop passwords, as well as what looked like suicide notes, according to the Aug. 23, 2017, Esquire article of the same name by Jesse Barron that inspired The Girl From Plainville. One was written to Michelle and said, “Keep strong in tough times. Our songs, listen to them and remember me.” Another read, “Dad, I’m sorry I wasn’t the boy you wanted.”

Michelle attended a wake the family held for Conrad at a funeral parlor in Mattapoisett the following week. Per Esquire, Michelle emailed Conrad’s younger sister Camdyn not long after, writing, “Conrad did not kill himself because of bullying like everyone assumes. I know the real reasons.” She attached some of Conrad’s melancholy messages to her.

Then Michelle emailed Lynn on July 25, according to the magazine, writing, “I wish things could be different, but you need to know that it is not your fault.”

Writing back to her, Lynn mentioned to Michelle that a detective was involved with the case (under Massachusetts law, all unattended deaths under violent, suspicious or unusual circumstances are supposed to be investigated), and Michelle at one point asked if there was any news. That August, Michelle’s mom Gail Carter also texted Lynn, “I think about you, your family, and Conrad every day. My heart breaks for all of you, as well as for Michelle, who loved Conrad as much as a 17 year old girl could.”
