"The clearest details have been posted at Zoe Brain's blog where she quotes an account by someone else:
I am having a very difficult time right now. I am a moderator on another site and we have a Forum and we have a Chat. Raychel 'Roo' was 18 in March. She died in intensive care last night. One of our teen Moderators, she lived in New York and was a post op teenage girl, and a dancer. She was headed to the Juliette School in the Fall. Now she is dead.
Her father was killed and her mother lost her arm in a terrible car crash last month. At one of the trials on this, one of the lawyers outed her. Her town had a very negative reaction.
She had life threats, she and her mother. The police had them under protective surveillance. The police left at noon yesterday. By two o'clock she was assulted. Last night she died.
She rode her bike to go to the store. She never came home. They found her bike in a dumpster. Late that evening they found her. She had been assaulted with a sledge hammer, they think, judging from the bruises all over her body. Her knee caps had been broken. She had been gang raped. They buried her alive.
She worked her way out of the almost grave and crawled for three hours to get help. She was put in the ICU and given little chance to survive. Last night she died.
The facts are skimpy, speculation reigns. Supposedly kids from a nearby school came after her in a van. There were no fingerprints. She had no semen after the rapes so it shows premeditation as they used condoms. She was so beat-up her organs just went into shock and she died.
Our whole group is sick and horrified. I am having a difficult time just writing this. I need to for two reasons, to tell her story and to say 'please be careful!' Last night we lost a sister, and one of our own."
This hasn't been picked up in mainstream media yet. I've seen a couple tweets. Verification would be useful.

Date: 2009-06-23 04:02 am (UTC)the post has some of her own experience in it, which are pretty difficult/triggering. the comment thread got ugly as well. I am glad that it's not for real, but wondering what the hell is wrong with someone that they put this kind of hoax out.
I spend too much time worrying about where my friends are when they don't meet me on time/don't call me and I start trying to track them down because something could happened to them. And yeah, I worry more about the trans ones. Because.
How can someone make a hoax about this? Don't they know what it feels like to wonder if your friends are all right or if you're going to have to start calling hospitals to find them?

I have a injured knee and crawling into bed was agonizing when it first happened.
