The Online Predator Who Tricked a 13-Year-Old: The Tragic Story of Kacie Woody

Some dangers hide in the dark… but the deadliest ones hide behind a computer screen.
This is the heartbreaking true story of 13-year-old Kacie Woody, a bright Arkansas girl who trusted someone she met online — not knowing he wasn’t who he claimed to be.

In 2002, Kacie chatted with a boy she thought was 17.
But behind the screen was a 47-year-old predator who watched her, studied her, and crossed the country to find her.
What happened next shook America — and changed online safety forever.

This story reminds us why digital awareness matters, why parents must stay vigilant, and how one moment of trust can become a nightmare.
