The messages between Conrad Roy and Michelle Carter stopped at 6:28 pm the night of Roy's death (via Boston 25 News). This left investigators with part of a picture painted by the message exchange between the two and would later have it filled in more by statements from Carter's friend Samantha Boardman. Esquire reports that following the last text at 6:28, Roy called Carter in a call that lasted just over 42 minutes. At 7:12 pm, Carter called Roy, their phones connecting for over 45 minutes. Two days later, texts between Carter and Boardman reveal a message from Carter in which she claimed responsibility for his suicide and that she could have done something to stop him but failed to act. 

According to Newsweek, Carter continued to lay the foundation of her guilt by texting that Roy's death was all her fault. In this series of texts, Carter admitted that she could have stopped it while they were on the phone together. She revealed that at one point, Roy became afraid and exited his truck as it was filling with fumes. According to Carter, she verbally ordered Roy to get back inside his truck and finish what he started.  

Several months after Roy's death, Michelle Carter was approached by a police detective (via Esquire), who said he had a warrant to seize Carter's phone.
