In March 2012, Jessica Rae Sacco was a 21-year-old in Urbana, Ohio, trying to rebuild her life and rebuild her relationship with her mom. But online was where Jessica felt most comfortable. It was where she could meet people, find community… and where she met Matthew Puccio. At first, it looks like a messy, intense relationship. Then it becomes something much darker.

When Jessica stops responding and her Facebook goes silent, Sue’s worst fear kicks in… and what’s found inside that apartment turns this into a living nightmare.

This episode unpacks how a relationship that started online spiraled into control, isolation, and violence and how a group of “friends” can become something far more dangerous when nobody steps in.
