British woman Grace Millane (21) had the world at her feet.   She had just graduated university and was taking a year off to travel the world.   After spending weeks in South America, Grace arrived in New Zealand in November 2018.  She enjoyed meeting the locals and making new friends.

In late November 2018, Grace matched on Tinder with a man named Jesse Kempson and the two decided to meet up.  They enjoyed visiting some bars and restaurants in Auckland.  The two hit it off and Grace decided to return to Jesse’s place for the night.   She was last seen getting out of an elevator in his apartment complex and was never seen again.  Jesse murdered Grace that night. 

Over the coming hours, Jesse made internet searches including "rigor mortis", "extra large bags" and "carpet cleaner".  He also went on another Tinder date that had been previously planned, while Grace’s body was in his room.

Jesse would end up confessing to Grace’s murder and has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum non-parole period of 17 years.
