S2 E21: Murdered because She was Transgender: Case of Brianna Ghey

Behind You

On Febuary 11th, 2023, two teens were seen waiting at a bus stop in the town Birchwood, northwest of England waiting for their friend to get off the next bus. Awhile later, a teenage girl gets off the bus and joins the two teen and the three of them starting heading off to a hiking trial at a nearby park. An hour later emergency services would be called to the same park saying they had found a dead body of a young teenage girl. This teenage girl would be identified at 16 year-old Brianna Ghey. The last Brianna was ever heard from, was by her mom that day whom Brianna texted saying she was going to hang out with her new friend, 15 year-old Scarlett Jenkinson. When Scarlett was arrested and brought into questioning, she openly told police that her motive for the murder was because Brianna was a transgender woman. And Scarlett would say Brianna wasn’t the only person she planned on killing, and neither did she work alone to commit the murder.
