In this stunning true crime thriller of Facebook, catfishing, and
jealousy, a double-murder begins with the click of a button. When
Bill Payne and Billie Jean Hayworth began their romance, they
unknowingly set in motion a diabolical plot that would end with
them murdered in their own home, Hayworth holding their mercifully
unharmed infant. Chris was a CIA agent who was concerned about
Jenelle. Seeing the cyberbullying she had endured, and worried for
her safety, Chris got in touch with Jenelle’s protective parents,
and her devoted boyfriend, warning them that Payne and Hayworth
were a danger to Jenelle. He got especially close with Jenelle’s
mother, Barbara, who thought of Chris like a son, though she had
never met him. Chris claimed that surveillance of Payne and
Hayworth revealed that the two of them were planning on harming
Jenelle, that it was imminent, and that something needed to be done
immediately. Chris promised that he would have their back if they
were to act to protect Jenelle. And so they did. Jenelle’s
father, Buddy, and her boyfriend, Jamie, broke into the home of
Payne and Hayworth and murdered them in their own home. What the
police investigation turned up, though, made this crime all the
more terrifying. Jenelle had been Chris the entire time, catfishing
her family and her boyfriend to act in vengeance on her behalf.
Using forensic linguistics and diving through the brambles that
Jenelle laid to cover her tracks, police were able to put together
a chilling portrait of a sociopath, made all the more ruthless by
the anonymity of her online life. Bizarre and unforgettable, Dennis
Brooks examines the crime and trial from all angles, bringing his
expertise as the lead prosecutor in the strange and disturbing
case.
