Who is Michelle Carter and where is she now?
MICHELLE Carter made headlines in 2014 following the death of her boyfriend, Conrad Henri Roy III.
She was accused of helping him commit suicide over text messages, which ultimately left her behind bars.
Who is Michelle Carter?
Michelle Carter is a convicted felon who reportedly helped her former boyfriend commit suicide.
On July 13, 2014, Conrad Roy III was found dead in his truck outside a superstore in Massachusetts after he had attached a hose from a generator and filled his truck up with carbon monoxide.
At the time, the 18-year-old had been battling anxiety and depression, and Carter, who was 17 years old, encouraged him to end his life through a series of texts that were discovered during the investigation.
Outside of her case, little information is known about her personal life.
Where is she now?
In February 2015, Carter was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection to her boyfriend’s death.
During the investigation, authorities found messages on Conrad’s phone from Carter which read, “You keep pushing it off and say you’ll do it but you never do. It’s always gonna be that way if you don’t take action,” and “You just need to do it.”

She was found guilty during her trial and sentenced to two and a half years in prison but her sentence was later reduced to 15 months.
In January 2020, Carter was released on good behavior and put on probation which is set to end in 2022.
The whereabouts of the now 24-year-old remain unclear as she has managed to stay out of the spotlight upon her release.
Her story is the subject of multiple documentaries including the 2019 HBO film, “I Love You, Now Die.”
In 2021, her story was told again in Investigation Discovery’s “Michelle Carter: Love, Texts & Death,” which is available to stream on Discovery+.
What is The Girl from Plainville?
Despite already being the subject of multiple documentaries, Hulu has announced their own called “The Girl from Plainville,” in which Elle Fanning portrays the role of Michelle Carter.
The first of the 8-episode docuseries aired on March 29 and subsequent episodes will be released every Tuesday.
The series is reportedly based on the Esquire article of the same name by Jesse Barron.
Other cast members include Chloë Sevigny, Colton Ryan, Callie Brook McClincy, and Aleks Alifirenko Jr.
