He convinces Stacy to hear him out and they drive to a lake to talk.
Stacy never returns home.
Like inNo One Would Tellthose around Amy Carnevale noticed that Jamie Fuller was mistreating her.

The made-for-television classic No One Would Tell (1996) was based on the tragic true story of 14-year-old Amy Carnevale’s murder at the hands of her ex-boyfriend.
Jamies friends told him You dont have the balls to do it to which he responded, Youll see.
After the murder they went home so Jamie could clean up the knife he used to murder Amy.
The boys joked that the Kool-Aid they were drinking looked like blood and was right for the occasion.

Jamie Fuller was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole.
Updates are posted to theJustice for Amy Carnevale Facebook page.
No One Would Tellwas remade in 2018with Shannen Doherty playing the protagonists mother.

In the lovebombing phase Bobby seems like the perfect partner to Stacy, whose own mother has been in several abusive relationships.

Trivia: In one scene Bobby gets jealous of a photo Stacy has of her and a friend in her locker. The photo is actually Candace Cameron Bure with her (then) boyfriend Valeri Bure. The couple was married the yearNo One Would Tellcame out.

A big plot point ofNo One Would Tellis how many people witness Bobby abusing Stacy before he escalates to murder. At the end of the movie a judge warns her friends and family not to stay silent in the future.

One of the biggest contributing factors to abuse is a belief that abuse is acceptable or justified in order to achieve the abuser’s goals of controlling his or her partner.
