 he had just started snapchatting a girl he liked and was extremely excited about it. One night, the girl sent him a picture of herself lying in bed without a caption. He sent a message back, saying, "What's up?" She responded with an identical selfie, captioned, "Not much, you?" She had set the timer to 10 seconds, giving the young boy plenty of time to analyze the picture, including her bedroom in the background. However, while intensely looking at the photo, he noticed the dark outline of a person standing outside her window.

He immediately sent a message back, asking if her brother was standing outside the window as a prank. She sent another identical snap, saying, "What do you mean?" In this photo, the figure outside of the window was much closer. The boy could see a hand pressed up against the glass of the window. He hurriedly responded with, "There's somebody outside your window! Turn around." She opened the snap almost immediately, but did not respond. The boy tried to call and text her, but she did not answer.

Later, around midnight, she finally texted him back and explained what had happened. As soon as she had turned around and saw the man standing outside her window, she screamed. The man, who turned out to be a 20-something-year-old stranger, opened and jumped through the window. She ran to her parents' bedroom to awaken her dad. However, when her father went to investigate the bedroom, all he found was an open window.
