Eli Heacock was a happy kid who loved to joke, play tennis and hang out with his dad. Until one day when he received disturbing photos of himself that he had never posed for. "....The offender made AI-generated images of Eli Heacock, sent them to the teenager and demanded $3,000 or else the pictures would be released or his family would be harmed."

Eli didn't have $3,000 to pay. He paid what he could but the culprit said it wasn't enough. He shot himself on February 28. His twin sister found his body.
