15 year old Alex Rodda headed out after school one day to go meet his friend. But when he never returned later that evening, his mum Lisa just knew something was wrong. She called all of his friends to ask if they’d seen him, and they told her he was out tonight with a boy called Matthew. But Matthew wasn’t a boy, he was an 18 year old adult. And the nature of their relationship was not friendship- instead, it was full of lies, blackmail, and ultimately murder.
