Nineteen-year-old Ashley Wadsworth travelled from British Columbia to England to spend time with Jack Sepple, a man she had built a relationship with online. At first, it looked like a romantic adventure: sightseeing, smiling photos, and the excitement of finally being together in person.
But behind the pictures, the relationship became controlling and dangerous. Ashley decided she wanted to return home to Canada. Before she could leave, Sepple killed her.
In this episode, Febriana tells John the story of Ashley Wadsworth’s murder, the warning signs in Jack Sepple’s past, and the difficult questions this case raises about coercive control, international relationships, online intimacy, and what can happen when an abusive partner realizes they are losing control.
