Swipe Right for Murder S01E07 - Ashley Pegram

Twenty-eight-year-old Ashley Pegram was a mum to three young children. Her world fell apart when her partner, and the father to her youngest son, was killed in a car accident returning home from work. Lonely and depressed, Ashley began to use dating apps to meet new men. On Friday 3rd April 2015, Ashley hastily arranged to meet a guy she'd met online just a few hours earlier. He called himself 'E Money Bon'. She left for her date around 9pm, and she was never seen again. That night, she had left the phone she shared with her family at home, and the police were able to use a text that her date, Edward Bonilla, had sent her, to track him down. Bonilla denied any involvement in Ashley's disappearance but Bonilla's story didn't stack up. They found Ashley's blood in his work van and the car he was driving that night. It was a month later that her body was found. On 11th August 2016, a jury found Edward Bonilla guilty. He was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole.
