Today we are taking a look at a case out of Myrtle Beach, SC.
After graduating high school, a group of friends from Muskingum county Ohio planned a senior trip to Myrtle Beach...
The group consisted of 18-year-old Blake Linkous, who is the subject of this video, his former girlfriend Natalie Martin and a few others.
Blake and Natalie had broken up several weeks prior to the trip, but still ended up going together...
After the group attended an event at the house of blues on the evening of June 6, 2023... Natalie martin, Blake Linkous and one other person of the group returned to the hotel.
Friends in the group recall Blake stating that he didn't want to live without Natalie, and he had attempted to take his own life...
Well, the group was awakened by a bloodied Blake Linkous, who had apparently stabbed himself in the chest, claiming Natalie won't wake up...
This resulted in one friend of Natalie calling 911 after seeing her friend lying lifeless on the floor...
Blake was taken down to the station for questioning regarding the death of 18-year-old Natalie Martin. This is his interrogation. (SPOILERS BELOW)
On February 28, 2025, Prosecutors were prepared to proceed with a murder trial, but Blake Linkous, then 20 years old, put in a guilty plea... Which saved Natalie's family and friends the torment of having to go through the trial process...
Blake was subsequently sentenced to 45 years in prison, and is no eligible for early release. He will serve the entirety of his sentence in South Carolina.
