Summary

Bianca Devins was a vibrant 17-year-old from Utica, New York, with a bright future and a growing presence on social media. But her life was tragically cut short in July 2019 by someone she trusted. What began as an innocent night at a concert with a friend, Brandon Clark, ended in a horrific act of violence fueled by jealousy and obsession. In this episode of Mama Mystery, we explore the story of Bianca’s life, her struggles with mental health, and her openness online that both inspired and attracted the wrong attention. We’ll unpack the events leading to her murder, the disturbing use of social media by her killer, and the devastating impact on her family and community. Join us as we discuss the dangers of digital connections and honor the memory of a young woman gone too soon. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Welcome back to Mama Mystery. I'm your host, Kelly. And before we get into today's episode, I wanted to just
0:06.4	put in a little disclaimer. This is going to be a re-uploaded episode, one that we've already done in the past,
0:13.3	but I just want to refresh your guys' memory on this story for two reasons. First of all, I'm going to
0:19.9	be announcing soon exactly why we went to New York. And that
0:24.4	was something that a lot of our listeners knew about, but back in May, we took this amazing trip to
0:30.7	New York. And I can't wait to tell you guys why, but until then, I can't really talk about it. So I'm
0:36.8	just going to give you this episode and you'll
0:38.7	eventually know why. But second of all, I know last week I mentioned that I was going to be
0:44.0	covering the Luca Magnata case and I still do intend on doing that. But this week, it's just not
0:50.2	going to happen. So I have been writing the episode and I'm almost done writing it,
0:55.5	but it's just not complete yet. And then today our baby came down with Krupp. And so we spent
1:01.2	the whole morning in urgent care with him. And man, if you guys are listening and you have
1:06.3	children and they've had Krupe, you know just how rough that is on their poor little throats.
1:12.8	And August is only 18 months old. So he sounds just awful. So today my goal was to finish writing
1:20.2	the episode and get it recorded because we actually leave for vacation tomorrow with our
1:24.5	entire family. But that just didn't happen because life happens. And, you know,
1:29.4	I know if you're a mom especially, you can relate. So enjoy this replay episode. Next week,
1:36.4	we will be back with a brand new episode on Luca Magnata. And we will see you again next week.
2:00.5	In three, two, one, Mama Mystery in.
2:04.7	Nice.
2:05.9	Welcome back to Mama Mystery.
2:08.8	I am your host, Kelly.
