After sharing a few drinks together at several different bars around the centre of the city of Auckland, 21 year old British Backpacker Grace Millane and 26 year old New Zealand Native Jesse Kempson - who appeared to be enjoying one another’s company - make their way back to Kempson’s apartment at the CityLife Hotel.

Entering an elevator together, the pair make their way up to the third floor of the building, where they then head into Kempson’s £190-a-week room. As many drinks had been consumed, this is odd… But not too concerning for Grace, who had been told by the man she had matched with on Tinder, that he was “The Manager Of An Oil Company”. Unbeknownst to Grace, she has just entered the temporary home of a man with an extensive history of manipulative, abusive, highly troubling, and dangerous behaviours… And she would sadly not leave the room alive.

On the night of April 14th, 1912, whilst most of her passengers had retired for the night, the RMS Titanic - the largest and most lavish ocean liner of its time - glided smoothly through the dark, icy waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. Suddenly, shortly before midnight, the ship’s lookouts spotted a massive iceberg emerge from the blackness of its path. News of the ship’s imminent danger quickly spreads amongst its crew, who try desperately to evade the disaster that was looming before them… But it was already far too late.

We all know how the rest of the story goes... Cue the collision, cue the terror, and cue the subsequent sinking of the infamously “Unsinkable” ship.

On the ocean floor, she now slept.

That night, the Titanic claimed the lives of approximately 1500 people.

One hundred and eleven years later…- She would claim five more.
