Recent developments in the Delphi murders indicate that an online predator may have played a role in the double homicide of 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams. Predators have been known to use the internet to catfish, groom, and prey upon underage victims.

In this episode, the Murder Sheet will interview Cathy Frye about one such case that happened in Arkansas in 2002. A 47-year-old man named David Fuller posed as a young man online. He used that persona to grow close to a 13-year-old girl named Kacie Woody. Then, the unthinkable happened.
