What lengths would you go to protect your child from the dark underbelly of the internet? A cruel fate dealt a devastating blow to the Bloxham family when their 12-year-old son Justin fell victim to a twice-convicted sexual predator who operated under the guise of social media. As we take you on this harrowing journey, we will peel back the layers of this heartrending case that left the town of Stonewall, Louisiana, forever scarred.
As we dissect the chilling details of Justin's tragic story, we delve into the suspicious circumstances surrounding his disappearance and the unnerving evidence that led the desperate search to the doorstep of 34-year-old Brian Horn. A twice-convicted sexual predator with a troubling history of sexual offenses, Horn's murky past painted a horrifying picture. We trace the trail of explicit text messages and disturbing photos Horn sent to Justin, which played a crucial role in the trial proceedings.
As we draw conclusions from this tragic narrative, we are left with the affirmation of the critical importance of social media awareness and the relentless fight to protect our children. Your support, thoughts, concerns, and case referrals are what keep us going. So, let's band together to shed light on the shadows lurking in the digital world. And remember, our new episode drops every Monday at midnight, shedding light on another dark corner of true crime. Together, we can make a difference.
