Several yers ago, I wrote on here about what I thought, and still do, to be the most disturbing episode in the "Law And Order, Criminal Intent" franchise. It was called "No Exit," and it concerned an office worker who took her life, a coworker who did not know he was a part of a suicide pact, and lost his life, and a webiste, which was a "suicide-how-to," for the NYC area, giving places, heights, and timelines, for railroad tracks, plus how to enter buildings or places that were coded.
As Kathryn Erbe said, as Alexandra Eames, "A suicide website--it was bound to happen."
Well, darlings, fiction is truth.
Chelsea Martinez, a pretty girl from Ohio, in her twenties, and raising some adorable children, suffered from deep depression. At her lowest point, she latched onto a webiste called "The Experience Project," putting out there, that she wanted to end her life, and have someone do it for her. She wished to be tied down, and have her throat slashed.
She found an obliging--yeah,right!--soul in Jason Nisbit, who lived in Minnesota. He agreed to Chelsea's request, and the 26-year-old drove to Minnestoa, where they met. They agreed to meet the following evening in Shager Park, and did. As per her request, Chelsea was tied down, and had her throat slit. She got what she wanted, maybe, but that Jason did not walk away from this, says much about him, as well as the person or persons running this webiste, which I hope, by now, is shut down.
Chelsea's body was found in another, more rural, area, called Rice County. After finding her abandoned car, and a screen name, "Dark Ryd3r," it was easy to trace things to Nisbit. He was convicted and sentenced to 42 years in prison. Hopefully, he will stay there for life.
What I want to know is what happened to the person or persons who ran this abominable website. Because they, too, should have been charged with Chelsea's murder, as it led to her connecting with Jason.
It is awful when fiction and reality clash. And who know, there may be more ominous webistes out there!
Remember, darlings, freedom of specch does not grant one the freedom to kill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sick!!
