Do you know what happened already?

Did you know her?

Did you see it on the internet?

Did you listen to a podcast?

Did the hosts make jokes?

Did you see the pictures of the body?

Did you look for them?

Based on hours of interviews with witnesses and family members, and even correspondence with the killers themselves, journalist Alec Z.

It’s a riveting snapshot of lives scarred by tragedy, and a town left in turmoil.

The only question is: how much of Carelli’s story is true?
