on july 14 2019 i woke up picked up my phone and noticed that my group chat was buzzing about something and i looked at
00:00:16
it and it was a photo of my friend and it looked like she was dead so i was reading all the messages and
00:00:25
they're saying guys like in the discord someone posted that bianca is like dead or something and i was like what
00:00:35
some people on the discord actually had to call the police police uh good morning i
00:00:42
i believe someone may have been murdered okay where okay so i'm on an online group and
00:00:48
somebody posted a picture of uh someone getting murdered and i believe it to be a miss bianca
00:00:55
michelle devins before i knew it the photo was being circulated around my community and then
00:01:03
beyond it so tell me what did you see that day i was on twitter uh as i usually do just
00:01:15
to gauge what stories are trending that day and i saw that bianca's name was trending
00:01:19
[Music] i didn't know very much at that point just that images had been posted and
00:01:25
were going viral on social media and i just knew that i wanted to find out more i think we were all just very confused
00:01:33
someone saw something on the internet where they thought you know bianca may have been hurt i am kim devons and i'm
00:01:40
bianca's mother bianca is a talented artist inspiring model i knew she had an online presence but i
00:01:50
found that granddaughters do not share their online presence with their grandfathers so uh i wasn't aware of the
00:01:56
depth of it social media was a huge part of bianca's life and online she could be whoever she
00:02:03
wanted to be she was definitely a social media chameleon she had multiple instagram accounts which was not
00:02:08
uncommon for kids her age but you know one of them was clearly reserved for her online friends
00:02:13
you know was fairly edgy she was obviously very you know popular on discord it was common for some people in the
00:02:20
community to try and escape or maybe to get attention to fake their deaths as this photo is circulating on discord
00:02:29
and then to other social media platforms the authenticity of the photo is being debated a lot of people are unsure
00:02:38
whether or not it's real [Music] people were making memes out of the images they were turning them into jokes
00:02:47
they were sent to me they were sent to various family members so this is a collection of different
00:02:54
communications received by bianca's mom and obviously every one of them meant to
00:02:59
be incredibly cruel incredibly hurtful this is a form of psychological terrorism
00:03:06
i just don't understand the cruelty and the emptiness in someone's heart where they would get
00:03:11
some kind of a thrill out of sending these pictures to a family i remember just standing up and saying
00:03:19
no it's not her i stumped up my stairs saying it's not her it can't be it's not her it's not my baby
00:03:35
