Her rape in small town Missouri became international news due to the lack of prosecution. Eventually her story was told in the Netflix documentary Audrie and Daisy.
Her family has posted that she ended her life. I believe there is a GoFundMe for her funeral.
I don't know where to begin.

Instead, they found themselves at the center of a sexual assault case that shocked the nation.
