A teenager is alleged to have killed her friend after being offered 'millions of dollars' from a stranger she met online.
Cynthia 'CeeCee' Hoffman, who was 19 but had a mental age of 12 due to a developmental disability, was shot in the head and dumped in a river in Alaska, in the US.
Her friend Denali Brehmer is currently on trial for her murder. It is alleged that Brehmer was catfished by a man named Darin Schilmiller, 21, who posed as a millionaire called Tyler and promised her $9million (£7.2million) if she killed someone and sent him photos as proof.
Brehmer is alleged to have sent pictures and videos of Hoffman bound in tape, and also images of her dead body.

Prosecutors claim Schilmiller also tried to blackmail Brehmer into raping someone.
Kayden McIntosh, 16, and Caleb Leyland, 19, have also been charged into relation to Hoffman's death, along with two other unnamed teenagers.
According to reports, when questioned by police, the teens said they were due to get a cut of the money from 'Tyler' for their parts in the crime.
Prosecutors allege Leyland claimed he was set to pick up $500,000 (£399,150) for lending his car to Brehmer and McIntosh.

The prosecution claims the pair lured Hoffman to a waterfall, by pretending they were going to go on a hike.
It's then alleged that they led her off the path and tackled her to the ground, before tying up her hands and feet and placing tape over her mouth.
Prosecutors say McIntosh then used Brehmer's gun to shoot her through the head before dumping the body.
Brehmer and McIntosh have been charged with murder, while Leyland and the two other teens have been charged with conspiracy.
Hoffman's family told the press that Brehmer had been their daughter's 'best friend'.

Dad Timothy Hoffman said: "All I know is that my daughter didn't deserve all this.
"She should have had the friends that she wanted. She shouldn't have had people that wanted to plot against her. And the ages of these people? I think it is sick."
