The internet can be an unforgiving and brutal place. And New York youngster Bianca Devins can attest to this firsthand. Even after her death, we met in person.
Devins graduated high school and wanted to study psychology to help with mental illness as a Mohawk Valley Community College student.
After leaving a concert in New York City, she was tragically stabbed in Utica on July 14, 2019. The murderer’s online decision to post graphic images of Devins’ dead body made international headlines.
It was theorized that a cyberstalker murdered Devins.
However, following their investigation, prosecutors in Oneida County stated that they suspect Devins was murdered by someone she knew.
It was speculated that Devins was romantically involved with her murderer. Brandon Clark is my name. He was only 21 years old when he murdered Lyft passenger Devins.
Clark murdered Devins after they attended a concert by Canadian musician Nicole Dollanganger, whose songs typically address sexuality, violence, sexual violence, BDSM, poverty, self-harm, eating disorders, loss, and mental health issues.
Bianca Devins and Brandon Clark’s Relationship
Bianca Devins and Brandon Clark first connected on Instagram at the start of 2019. They just talked online at first but eventually started getting together in person.
Clark went to Devins’ graduation celebration back then. They immediately became fast friends, but Devins also realized that Clark “wanted more” than that.
Despite Devins’ protests, Clark frequently referred to himself as her boyfriend.
Clark’s internet history was discovered to be littered with references to Devins, revealing his obsession with her. Clark looked for her online, followed her on social media, and downloaded some of her images.
How did Mudere Clerk And Devine Bacgroun cause this?
Clark, who appeared to stalk Devin, was raised by an abusive father.
Clark was once in state foster care.. However, Clark was regarded as “charming” and “polite” by Devins’ mother.
Devins, too, came from a fairly bleak background. She reportedly struggled with depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and PTSD. The tension with her father caused this.
She sought solace from her condition in online friendship groups and chat rooms. She spent a lot of time in online communities like Discord and 4chan.
How did Clerk Killed Devins? Whole Situation Details
Devins once told a mental health counselor that she had dreamt about jumping from a roof and hurting herself.
Devins and Clark ran into a mutual buddy named Alex on their way to see a performance together.
They headed to Dollanganger’s concert after smoking weed in Clark’s car. Clark witnessed Devins’s kiss with Alex at that time. Clark was upset by this.
After the show, Clark drove home with Devins sleeping in the back. Clark, jealous of Devins’s kiss with Alex, tried to interrogate her about it. Devins expressed remorse but explained that theirs was not a monogamous relationship.
At the height of his rage, Clark attacked Devins and repeatedly slashed at her neck with a knife hidden under his seat.
Devins was shot and killed on the spot.
After the murder, Clark shared images of her body on the messaging app Discord. Clark shared these with the message, “To all the male followers of Devins on the platform:
“Sorry fuckers, you’ll have to find someone else to orbit.”
Clark published the video on Discord, but it became popular on other online forums and social media sites, including Instagram, where it was branded #RIPBianca. Camera footage of the murder incident went viral online.
Oneida County Dispatch received multiple calls quickly after a man allegedly posted murder and self-harm threats to social media.
Clark contacted 911 and made incriminating allegations as the Utica Police Department launched a thorough search for the two. According to the reports the police had received, Clark was suicidal.
“My name is Brandon, the victim is Bianca Michelle Devins, I’m not going to stay on the phone for long because I still need to do the suicide part of the murder-suicide,” he continued.
Officers were sent to the wooded area after learning that the report originated on Poe St. in Utica.
The peaceful neighborhood had a parked black SUV, with the officers finding an unconscious man on the ground next to it. A teen is accused of making a TikTok video and killing his neighbor.
When the officers cautiously approached him and asked where the woman was, he told them to look under the tarp.
They were standing beside an SUV when they noticed a colored tarp nearby. When the police saw brown hair sticking out from behind the tarp, they became concerned.
When the police looked under the sheet, they witnessed that severe damage to her neck had nearly beheaded Devins.
Clark pulled out his phone after determining the individual was unarmed while police focused on the area covered by the tarp. At this point, he may have lain across Devins’s dead body to take pictures with her.
The photo originally had the caption “I’m sorry Bianca,” which has since been removed.
After that, the man began stabbing himself in the neck with a knife nearly quickly before the police could react.
His life was rescued by the rapid response team that took him to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital. After urgent surgery, Clark’s life was saved.
The police initially speculated that Clark’s fury sprang from jealousy. At his arrest, authorities found duct tape, knives, rope, and other items, indicating Clark meant to murder her.
Authorities also found a suicide note at his relative’s house.
Another note, reportedly reading “May you never forget me,” was discovered by authorities beside Devins’ body.
Why he Killed Bianca Devins? Investigation
Clark allegedly murdered Devins to set himself apart from the other “beta orbiters,” according to investigator Peter Paladino.
According to Sarah DeMellier, assistant district attorney in Oneida County, “different people in his life” have heard “different reasons why he did what he did” from Clark.
The murderer may feel empowered by the experience. The murderer, being a guy, may experience an increase in masculinity associated with his elevated social standing.
After entering an initial not-guilty plea on July 29, 2019, murder suspect Brandon Clark faces 25 years to life in prison.
The sentencing process has been delayed for a considerable time due to the ‘COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak.
On June 2, 2020, Clark formally requested to have his guilty plea withdrawn. Clark explained to the judge that he had been researching the law and analyzing his case alone. If Clark was unhappy with his first attorney, he may hire a new one.
As confirmed coronavirus cases continue to rise across the United States, New York state courts have again instituted restrictions on mandatory in-person court attendance.
As a result, Brandon A. Clark’s resentencing hearing in Utica has been postponed for a second time owing to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Clark’s Browsing History, Family Statement
After it was revealed that Clark’s browsing history included searches on how to find the carotid artery—the artery that branches out directly from the aorta and carries oxygen-rich blood to the brain via the neck—Devins’ mother criticized the prosecution for portraying him as a “manipulative monster.”
How to choke and hang someone was also frequently searched for as a method of incapacitating or killing another person.
Clark’s mother is convinced that her son always intended to kill her daughter.
“Bianca’s law” was enacted by the Brindisi and Devins families on September 21, 2020.
The family has suggested legislation that would mandate a department dedicated to discovering and eliminating violent content that breaches the moderation requirements of all social media platforms with over $10 million in revenue and over 100,000 monthly users.
Clark entered a not-guilty plea, but he reportedly apologized to the judge.
Clark said, “I think I need to realize what I did I can’t undo, as much as I want to… I apologize to all the people that knew and loved her. I apologize to everybody affected by this, to everybody who had to see that horrific picture of her. I know sorry is not enough and it won’t take back what I did. I wish I had more to give.”
Bianca Devins, who was only 17 when she passed away on July 19, 2019, was laid to rest that day.
On March 16, 2021, Brandon Clark will serve out his sentence while dressed in orange.
Clark, the man responsible for the brutal murder of Bianca Devins, was given a life term in prison in March 2021 and is currently being held at the Attica Correctional Facility in Attica, New York.
On July 10, 2044, Brandon will only be eligible for parole.
A year after entering a guilty plea to second-degree murder, Cicero native Clark appeared in court.
Because of what I did to her, I despise myself. I despise myself for what I did,” he told himself in court in Utica, “and I don’t know how I could have done anything like that. I’m truly sorry for the trouble I’ve caused. I feel terrible about putting Bianca through this.
Members of Devins’ relatives spoke before Clerk was sentenced
Bianca’s sister Olivia, who testified in court, is also 17.
She stated she had to remove her social media accounts because she kept finding photographs of her sister in horrific situations uploaded by strangers.
As she sobbed, Olivia explained, “Many random people set their profile picture as my sister’s death photo and went on my page knowing I would, without a doubt, see it.”
“The picture, to this day, continues to be sent to me, but I have now deleted all of my social media accounts.”
As a result of the loss of her sister, Olivia has acquired a fear of meeting new people and has begun having nightmares that are both terrible and realistic.
We are increasingly wary and nervous about venturing out into public. “Our deepest thoughts now are with Bianca, our angel, who has given so much love to this family, to her friends, and the legacy she is going to give to us forever,” said Frank Williams, Bianca’s grandfather. “We are all very guarded of all the young children in the family.”
Williams assured Clark that his family would advocate for Bianca before the parole board if he were to apply for parole: “You can be certain that our family will represent Bianca and will ask the reviewing board to consider.”
Her mother, Kimberly, believes her daughter was denied a bright future. Because of this, she initially urged Clark’s imprisonment “for the rest of his life.”
She said that we want closure over the crime that took our lovely angel by humbly requesting the court to make sure Brandon Clark remains in prison for the rest of his life
The fact that her kid will no longer give her hugs, kisses, or “I love yous” is the most heartbreaking thing for her.
She continued by saying that the sentencing was long overdue for the family.
After Clark’s conviction, it was believed that this case would finally close.
Pornographic Video Released By Police Department
But not totally; in 2021, an upstate New York district attorney’s office was charged with spreading Bianca Devins’s recordings.
The films were released to the media, violating federal law since they contain child pornography (Devins was under 18 at the time) and a video of her murder.
That’s what a lawsuit dated July 15, 2021, claims.
It was discovered that Brandon Clark had installed a camera in his car to record their sexual encounter and his subsequent slitting of Bianca Devins’ throat while she begged for her life.
Two Oneida prosecutors reportedly assured Devins’ mother that the videos wouldn’t be made public. However, the suit claims that the mother later discovered, to her “horror,” that the office had shared the videos with CBS 48 Hours, A&E, a friend of Clark’s who has a popular YouTube channel, and possibly MTV and Peacock TV.
According to the lawsuit, the office made matters worse by leaking naked photos of Bianca Devins that were found on her phone after it was confiscated at the murder site.
“When confronted, Assistant District Attorneys Sarah DeMellier and Michael Nolan admitted the DA’s office had shared the content,” the lawsuit claimed. “Kimberly was shattered that her daughter’s murder video and sex video had been released.”
She called the murder of her kid her “worst nightmare,” and she added that the tragedy keeps replaying itself like a horror movie.
Bianca’s mother lamented that the District Attorney’s Office (DA’s Office) was engaged in child pornography as if her daughter had no right to privacy, even though the family was subjected to the murderer’s posts repeatedly.
In the words of the victim’s father: “The DA’s office has been reckless and casual with who they provide my daughter’s private images and last living moments with; meanwhile, they refuse to let her own family see the evidence.”
The images and video represent evidence in a criminal case, and the potential for harm from their release surpasses the public’s desire for access, so the police are withholding them.
The Devins’ family questioned the office about it, and they claimed that because Bianca was 17 years old at the time of the murder, they were within their rights to distribute her naked photos and sex videos.
According to the complaint, “Kimberly and her counsel specified federal child pornography laws apply to depictions of children under the age of 18 and also notwithstanding the law that Bianca, even in her death, had a right to sexual privacy.”
The action claimed that the defendants engaged in “unconscionable dissemination of snuff and child pornography of a 17-year-old murder victim.”
Although under New York State law, only minors under the age of 17 would be affected by the photographs and videos of Devins being disseminated, the lawsuit alleges that under federal law, they should be considered child pornography.
The case requires a jury trial, the district attorney’s office to halt disseminating Devins’ photos and videos, and $150,000 for each piece of evidence.
In addition to physical crime, the family members are victims of “psychological terrorism,” which causes emotional pain.
The New York State Assembly enacted a statute similar to Bianca’s in January 2022.
Posting, sharing, or publishing private photographs of a crime victim to humiliate or abuse that person and cause them or their loved ones emotional, financial, or physical harm would be illegal under this proposed legislation.
A member of the Assembly has stated that the bill will introduce criminal and civil sanctions for the distribution of private photos.
