On March 7, 2015, Ashlee Martinson—known online as “Vampchick”—snapped. After years of enduring abuse and failed attempts to escape her violent home, the 17-year-old turned on her parents in a brutal act of revenge. The media was quick to paint her as a goth-obsessed teen lost in her love for horror stories, heavy makeup, and dreams of becoming a mortician. But the truth behind Ashlee’s life is far more disturbing than any headline. This isn’t just the story of a teen killer—it’s a chilling look at what years of trauma, silence, and darkness can do to someone who feels completely trapped. Was Ashlee a monster born from her own obsessions, or a victim pushed to her breaking point?
