30. USA - The Tennessee Catfishing Murders

Jenelle Potter was socially awkward and sickly. At the age of 30, she was still living with her parents who controlled every aspect of her life. When she met a well-liked young man, called Bill Payne, she fell head over heels in love. But the feeling was not mutual. When Bill met Billie-Jean Hayworth, he realised that he was ready to settle down with her. A jealous Jenelle could not handle it. When both Bill and Billie-Jean unfriended Jenelle on social media, she took drastic measures to get even with them.
