How did Beaue Bernstein help in solving Blaze Bernstein's murder?
The lives of the Bernstein family turned upside down when Blaze disappeared from their family home in South Orange County, California, on January 2, 2018. It would be nearly a week before authorities would find Blaze brutally stabbed to death.
While helping the police with the investigation, Beaue Bernstein managed to give them access to Blaze's Snapchat account, which, in turn, helped the authorities track messages exchanged with Blaze's former classmate, Sam Woodward, a racist and homophobic neo-nazi, who murdered Blaze because he was homosexual and a Jewish.
The authorities, helped by Beaue, were quickly able to establish Sam Woodward as the perpetrator in the case. Though only 14 years old then, Beaue's quick wit and response helped the police in catching and punishing the criminal.
