With the rise of social media, people can connect to others all over the world. Using YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, a user can gain a following, have thousands of likes, fans, or friends. Sometimes these “friends” are people from the past, most times they are complete strangers.

The good thing about online friends is that you can unfriend or block them if things don’t work out. Sometimes though, getting blocked or ghosted can cause someone to grow angry and even violent.

This is the story of a girl named Saya Suzuki, who at age 16 friended a stranger on Facebook. They became close and decided to date. They even met up in real life and had a relationship. But, Saya quickly found out, the guy she was in a relationship with was not who he said he was and tried to break it off.

However, he couldn’t accept her decision and when she blocked him he became even more enraged. He decided to upload their private photos and videos, stalk, intimidate, threaten and finally attack and kill Saya in her own home. How did he kill her? Could police have stopped this attack? What happened to the stalker?
