 Murder of Carly Ryan

Carly Ryan (26 January 1992 – 20 February 2007) was a 15-year old South Australian schoolgirl who was befriended online and then murdered by a serial paedophile.The case, which highlighted the emerging phenomena of catfishing, grooming and online predatory behaviour, was unique at the time, given that Ryan was the first person in Australia (and possibly the world) killed by an online predator.
