Internet Safety Podcast: In 2008, Emma, a 16yo girl from Virginia goes online and meets a 20yo man (Scott) from California. They bond (virtually) over their love for horrorcore music. Their romance blossoms publicly on message boards and among their shared fan community. Seven months into their online-only relationship, the girl decides to ask her best friend – an 18 yo named Mel from West Virginia to travel with her, and her parents (Deborah and Mark) to a horrorcore concert in Detroit. The road trip adventure for the two girls, and two parents, would also include Scott – flying in from California, anxious to meet his girlfriend for the first time in real-life. When they meet, Scott is nothing like the person Emma imagined. Scott does not take the rejection well. A few days after the concert, police would discover four bodies and one of the most gruesome murder scenes in Virginia history.
