David Carter, Michelle Carter’s father has piqued the public’s curiosity with the release of the Hulu series The Girl From Plainville.

The whereabouts of her parents and family are not known to the public at the moment. They may be living their life in Plainville, Massachusetts, their hometown, where they used to reside. 

They were the pretty regular suburban parents where her father, David worked as a sales manager for a forklift supplier. similarly, her mother Gail worked staged interiors for real estate brokers.

However, because they have managed to keep their lives hidden from the public eye, there is no information accessible about them.

They had previously also denied an interview with HBO for their new documentary, I Love You, Now Die: The Commonwealth v. Michelle Carter. 

The two-part documentary not only covers her case but also reexamines it, including new interviews with Roy’s family and Carter’s lawyers. However, both of Michelle’s parents did not participate in the documentary.

On the other hand, Michelle’s boyfriend, Conrad Roy III’s parents, break their silence with the media after eight long years. 

His parents claim they are still troubled and are doing everything they can to ensure that no other family experiences the same fate as theirs.

Conrad’s mother, Lynn St-Denis, and his father, Conrad Roy Jr, of Massachusetts, spoke to People Magazine ahead of the anniversary of their son’s death.

It was just days before the premiere of a new miniseries on the crime, The Girl From Plainville. St Denis told People about her final day with her son, recalling how they went on a stroll on the beach and chatted about his future.

‘Conrad, he was a nice child who got lost,’ recalled Conrad Roy Jr of his son. ‘He was simply so joyful until he became depressed,’ she says.

Michelle Carter was convicted for encouraging her boyfriend, Conrad Roy III for suicide on July 12, 2014. She was charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the suicide of her then-boyfriend who was 18 at the time.

Though Carter was in her home away from Roy, prosecutors claimed that her text messages and phone calls compelled Roy to take his own life.

The case was initially thought to be a suicide, but after more inquiry, it was shown to be different.

Her text confession to her friend Sam Boardman transfer the suicide to be reclassified as involuntary manslaughter. Carter admitted in a text message to Boardman that Conrad Roy III’s death was her responsibility.

“Sam, he just called me, and there was a huge noise like an engine and I heard groaning as if someone was in pain.” “I assume he simply killed himself,” she adds afterward.

“Sam, his death is entirely my fault. I could have stopped him when I was on the phone with him. He even got out of the car since it was running and he was afraid.”

“But I insisted on him coming back in “Carter texted Boardman in the days after Roy died.” Prosecutors also stated that the messages appear to show her inciting him to commit suicide one after the other: “You must do it, Conrad.”

“You can’t just think about it; you’ve got to do it.” “Are you going to do it today?”

At last, she was found guilty of the charges related to Roy’s death on June 16, 2017. She was released from Bristol County jail on January 23, 2020, because of good behavior after serving 12 months of her 15-month sentence.

Michelle Carter is portrayed by Elle Fanning in the series, The Girl from Plainville on Hulu. Fans were astounded by Fanning’s resemblance to her character in promotional photographs for the series. 

The series delves into Carter and Roy’s lengthy and complicated relationship, which culminated in his death and her disputed conviction.

It portrays the story of the honor roll student, who suffered from social anxiety and melancholy. He later committed himself by hooking up a hose from a portable generator and filling his car’s cab with carbon monoxide.

Erin Lee Carr, who directed the documentary, is a consulting producer for The Girl From Plainville. The series is based on Jesse Barron’s Esquire piece of the same name.
