In this episode, Abby discusses the tragic death of Betty Williams in Odessa, Texas in 1960.  Betty was a theatre kid who dressed differently and had more progressive ideas than her peers.  For this reason, she was often an outsider and struggled with self esteem and depression.  Eventually, Betty asked some friends to kill her.  What happened next will shock you.
