Episode 390: Ana Kriégel

Ana Kriégel was so excited that her crush wanted to meet up with her in May 2018. The victim of relentless bullies, 14-year-old Ana felt like an outcast. She just wanted to fit in, and when one of her classmates said his friend – her crush – wanted to see her, she was ecstatic. What the teenage boys truly had planned was one of Ireland’s most horrific murders that ended with the youngest perpetrators to ever be convicted of this level of crime in country.
