Episode Summary
In this episode of Koltergeist, we explore the tragic stories of Bianca Devins and Grace Emmie Rose Millane—two young women whose lives were cut short by men they trusted. Bianca, a 17-year-old rising social media personality from New York, was brutally murdered by a friend she met online, with images of the crime shared across the internet in a chilling intersection of violence and digital culture. Grace, a 21-year-old British backpacker traveling alone in New Zealand, was killed by a man she met on a dating app during what was supposed to be a night out in Auckland. Through these cases, we examine the dark side of internet relationships, the dangers young women face both online and offline, and the broader implications for justice and online safety.
