XXX-XXX-XXXX: hey what happened to troy’s party? i showed up last nite and no one answered the door
Penny Richards: He canceled it last minute. He didn’t know about Chad. BTW, who is this?
XXX-XXX-XXXX: it’s kayla t. sorry i got ur # on fb. hope u dont mind me textin u
Penny Richards: lol Of course it’s fine Kayla.
Kayla Thomas: so y did he cancel the party?
Penny Richards: You know about what happened to Chad?
Kayla Thomas: yeah
Penny Richards: Troy didn’t. I was emailing him right before the party and he had no clue. He freaked out over a weird email he got and locked himself in his room or something. No one could get in touch with him until this morning.
Kayla Thomas: weird email?
Penny Richards: He forwarded it to me…and I don’t think he’d joke about it, but it was an email from Chad confirming that he’d be at the party, but it was sent on Friday night…2 days after he was found dead.
Kayla Thomas: whoa wtf???
Penny Richards: It might be some sort of cruel hacker trick I guess from one of his friends…I dunno. Still really weird though.
