Ikbal's mother has been trying to get in contact with her daughter for over an hour at this point. Ikbal had been dealing with a stalker for a few years and her family were frantic. 

One more try. 

Ikbal’s mother dials for her daughter.  

 

Click. 

Someone picks up the phone, but the response is not from a 19 yo teenage daughter. It’s a low, quiet voice; her stalker is on the other end. He says 15 words and hangs up. 

 

“Don’t worry. Your daughter is in good hands. The girl is sleeping in peace now…” 

 

A little later, the same day, a video goes viral on Turkish social media - specifically Discord. 

 

A woman screams ‘Ikbal’ as she’s held back by a crowd of people. Clear as day in front of her, in the middle of a busy street is her daughter’s decapitated head. 

 

A second video goes viral. 

A boy, 19 yo as well, jumps from the edge of a building with a rope around his neck. 

 

October 4, 2024 three 19 year olds die in the same city. Their deaths all connected and viral on Discord. 

Until it goes dark.
