Chris was a CIA agent who was concerned about Jenelle. Seeing the
cyberbullying she had endured, and worried for her safety, Chris
got in touch with Jenelle's protective parents and her devoted
boyfriend, warning them that Payne and Hayworth were a danger to
Jenelle. He got especially close with Jenelle's mother, Barbara,
who thought of Chris like a son, though she had never met him.
Chris claimed that surveillance of Payne and Hayworth revealed that
the two of them were planning on harming Jenelle, that it was
imminent, and that something needed to be done immediately. Chris
promised that he would have their back if they were to act to
protect Jenelle.

What the police investigation turned up, though, made this crime
all the more terrifying. Jenelle had been Chris the entire time,
catfishing her family and her boyfriend to act in vengeance on her
behalf. Using forensic linguistics and diving through the brambles
that Jenelle laid to cover her tracks, police were able to put
together a chilling portrait of a sociopath made all the more
ruthless by the anonymity of her online life.
