Hi friends how are you today my name is Bailey Sarion and today's Monday which means um

it's murder mystery I forgot my intro it's murder mystery and makeup Monday

if you're new here hi my name is Bailey Sarion and on Mondays I like to sit down

and talk about a true crime story that's been heavy on my noggin and I do my makeup at the same time. If you're interested in true crime and you like makeup

I would say hey subscribe and if not that's okay too but other than that I will shut up and get into today's story. It includes the early ages of the internet, you know,

AOL chat rooms, the world wide web. And today's story is considered to be like by most sources to be the very first internet-based

murder. And I think most of us here we know what the World Wide Web is capable of. It could be great right? Fun,

educational and other things and then the other side where it can be really dark and

just unfortunate really.

Anyhow, back in 1999, ooh, the internet was still oh, so new.

And the things that unfold between a couple of strangers that we're talking about today twistier than you can even

imagine. This is the part where I would name something that has a lot of layers to it, like the layered

t-shirts you wore in high school. So many layers to it. There's just so

many layers to today's story and there's so much to uncover and it's kind of confusing so I'm

setting it up in a way that's kind of not confusing.

Okay, great.

So today's story actually begins not with murder but with someone unaliving themselves.

So a little trigger warning here.

It goes downhill very quick.

So we're gonna start off on February 11, 2000 in Odessa, Missouri.

A woman named Lynn Luellen discovers the body of her husband's cousin,

39-year-old Jerry Cassidy, in the basement apartment where he lived on their property.
