True Story of 2008 Teen Murder Conspiracy in NC

This tragic and short tale of the friends of Matt Stillman who conspired to and then carried through with their plans to kill the teenager in November 2008 in a small town in North Carolina is a chilling one, like a horror movie that is unlike real life . . . but sadly, this really happened. Four friends, Allegra Rose Dahlquist, Ryan Hare, Drew Shaw and Aadil Shahid Khan concocted the scheme. When Matt's body was first found, it was ruled a suicide, and only by a fluke was it discovered that the teens had planned the murder. This is an excellent telling of the gory tale, that is still a painful memory the family of Matt Stillman.

Interesting Murder Account

Interesting account of a woman found slain, and raped in her bathtub found face down. More than 60 detectives were involved in trying to solve the case.

Lasting approximately 48 minutes, this is a short story Audio Version.
Narrator was very monotone - as if reading a newspaper account.

Not one of my favorites from Harold Schechter, but he definitely provides interesting facts of true-crime accounts

Recommend

Good for a short to the point detailed listen. Covered all the point, no unnecessary commentary, nothing left hanging. Good clear narration.
