In 2019, Kevin was working as a hairdresser while finishing up a degree in Applied Psychology. On Christmas Eve of that year, he ventured out to meet a man he had been chatting with on the dating Grindr. When he didn't make it to a Christmas breakfast the next morning, his family and friends knew that something terrible had happened. But as the investigation unfolded, what they found was worse than they could have imagined. Since meeting new people in the 21st century often involves dating apps or online platforms, getting together in person for the first time can be nerve racking. As Kevin's story proves, it's important to make sure you really know who you're meeting. It could be the difference between life and death.
