hi this is conrad i'm going to talk to you about social anxiety social anxiety depression it's
00:00:13
controlling me people that love me i have a great mom great dad but so depressed
00:00:24
we spent the day walking the beach and we had a conversation and i asked him about
00:00:29
school and he's like um i'm not sure what i'm gonna do and i said you know don't worry about it everything is gonna
00:00:36
be okay it was a nice day out with the family nothing to give any hint of what was to
00:00:43
come later in the day there was no indication anything was going on i've created a monster out of myself
00:00:51
the past few years because of my depression racing thoughts suicidal thoughts do you remember when is the last time
00:01:04
you saw your brother he was like going out the door i thought he was just going to his friend's house
00:01:10
you got up in the morning and how did you know he hadn't come home he wasn't there and
00:01:17
we just like couldn't find him this is not like conrad not to come home then they found his body and
00:01:26
around 5 30 in the afternoon [Music] and he died in his truck carbon monoxide poisoning
00:01:36
i will live with this forever um the pain right away we heard from investigators
00:01:44
that medical examiner found that it was a suicide it wasn't until they started looking at his phone that they realized
00:01:50
there was something else going on here because on that phone were hundreds and hundreds of texts
00:01:56
from michelle carter to conrad roy urging him to end his life you can't think about it you just have
00:02:03
to do it you said you were gonna do it like i don't get why you aren't and michelle carter admittedly
00:02:10
said do it she was kind of making fun of him for for not taking his own life i thought
00:02:17
you really wanted to die but apparently you don't i feel played and just stupid you're going to have to prove me wrong
00:02:25
because i just don't think you really want this and she kept pressuring him to do it
00:02:31
you're ready and prepared all you have to do is turn the generator on and you be free and happy
00:02:38
no more pushing it off no more waiting there is one point where he actually got out of the truck
00:02:46
and changed his mind yeah he was scared and she told him to go back in the truck
00:02:52
yes carter charged with involuntary manslaughter she faces up to 20 years in prison
00:02:59
this is totally out of left field i coach michelle i know her as a good kid i don't believe that she has a
00:03:06
conscience she knew exactly what she was doing and what she said hang yourself jump off a building stab
00:03:16
yourself i don't know there's a lot of ways and it's the texts that become the weapon how could she cause a death
00:03:26
when she was 35 miles away in these circumstances this is almost akin to loading the gun and handing it over who
00:03:32
knows who knows when you have your hand in the trigger when you're sending a text
00:03:38
