About this episode

July 7th, 1977. Scarsdale, New York. Bonnie Garland met Richard Herrin at Yale when she was 20 years old. Herrin was more than 3 years older and was head over heels for Bonnie. After Richard changed schools, Bonnie began to grow distant and finally let Richard know that she wanted to remain friends but that she intended to date other people. On July 7th, 1977, Bonnie's mother walked into her daughter's room and saw her covered in blood and fighting to breathe. She would not survive.
