Web Hoax That Led to Suicide

Here's an exclusive interview with a 19year-old girl, Ashley Grills, in "Good Morning America" admitting her part on a scheme that led a 13-year-old Megan Meier to commit suicide last October 2006.

Grills created a fake account on MySpace, used a picture of a good looking boy and started an online romance with Meier.

"Grills insisted, though, that she was not the only adult involved in the cruel hoax, which eventually led the emotionally vulnerable Meier to commit suicide in October 2006, after her spurious online boyfriend and others began making nasty comments about her."
