On February 11, 2023, 16-year-old Brianna Ghey, a vibrant teenager with a passion for TikTok, embarked on what seemed like a routine Saturday outing. She left her home to meet a friend, Scarlett Jenkinson, after receiving a text invitation to meet at the library. Despite her social anxiety, Brianna bravely boarded a bus alone, texting her mom along the way about her fears. Little did she know, this would be her final journey.

Within hours, Brianna's life was brutally cut short by Scarlett and her accomplice, Eddie Ratcliffe. The two teenagers, who had meticulously planned the attack, lured Brianna to a secluded spot in Culcheth Linear Park, where she was stabbed 28 times. The shocking betrayal and violence of this crime sent shockwaves across the nation, highlighting the devastating consequences of hate and the ongoing struggles faced by transgender individuals.

Join me as I delve into the disturbing details of this case, exploring how a seemingly innocent friendship turned deadly. Discover the twisted motivations behind the murder and how the investigation uncovered a dark world of obsession and violence. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in true crime stories and the fight against transphobia and violence.
