The murders of Billy Payne and Billie Jean Hayworth were incredibly senseless. The case would end up being dubbed "The Facebook Murders" because of an ongoing feud&nbsp;between the victims and a woman named Jenelle Potter who had moved to their small town years earlier. Strangely enough,&nbsp;all&nbsp;three had been part of the same friend group at one time, but unreciprocated&nbsp;romantic feelings would tear the friend group apart. The case would involve catfishing, manipulation, Facebook.... and even the CIA.Thank you to the astounding David White for research assistance&nbsp;ReferencesDiaz, Joseph, and Alexa Valiente. 2015.
