In 1996, Sharon Lopatka left her home in Maryland after weeks of online conversations with a man she had never met in person. Days later, she was dead.

What makes this case different isn’t just how it ended—it’s what led up to it. Hundreds of emails. Detailed planning. And a request that raises questions people still debate today.

Did Sharon truly consent to what happened? Or was this a case of someone taking advantage of a woman in a vulnerable state?

In this episode, we break down the timeline, the messages, and the details that make this case one of the most unsettling intersections of the early internet and real-life consequences.
