Plot Synopsis

MICHELLE CARTER: LOVE, TEXTS & DEATH is a two-hour documentary that delves into the complicated relationship between Michelle Carter and Conrad Roy, using an extensive archive of texts and online activity between the two teenagers, including video diaries from Conrad himself that provide a better glimpse into how he was struggling prior to his death. This two-hour special features interviews with those closest to the case, including Conrad's mother, sister, friends, and law enforcement who worked directly on the case. Each poignant interview sheds light on key events leading up to Conrad's death, the aftermath of his suicide, and Michelle's strange behavior following his death. Some wondered if Michelle was seeking the spotlight by so publicly and intensely mourning a boy that few even knew she was dating. It was not until police seized her phone that they discovered startling texts she sent to Conrad and others. Those words would land Michelle at the center of a national controversy as she was charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with Conrad's death. In this landmark case a court had to decide whether words could do more than hurt. Could they be so criminal that they would lead a troubled young man to his death? MICHELLE CARTER: LOVE, TEXTS & DEATH debuted as a single two-hour program on Tuesday, September 7, 2021 from 9-11pm ET/PT on Investigation Discovery, which then aired the documentary again -- but as two separate episodes in its TV listings -- on Saturday, September 18, 2021 from 10pm-Midnight ET/PT.
