No One Would Tell

The Lifetime original movie "No One Would Tell" is based on the story of teenager Stacey Collins who just met the greatest guy, Bobby. At least, that is what she thought about him in the beginning. During their relationship, Stacey sustained physical abuse by Bobby. All of their friends notice what's going on. Sadly, only after five short months of dating, Stacey faces a horrible tragedy by the hands of her so-called love of her life.

The movie begins with Bobby and his friend, Vince driving Stacey to the lake. Bobby and Stacey take a walk so they can talk. They start arguing about getting back together. Stacey refuses to get back with Bobby. He becomes upset and doesn’t want to let her go. Vince is sitting in the car and in the background, hears screams and then Bobby comes walking back alone.

Five months earlier, before the horrible incident, Stacey first meets Bobby. Stacey and her friends are at the school’s wrestling match where Bobby is wrestling and after his match, he looks up in the stands and sees Stacey. At the local pizza parlor, Stacey and her friend Nikki walk in and see Bobby and his friends hanging out too. Bobby walks over and talks to Stacey. They start dating. Soon, though, rages of anger start coming over Bobby when they are together. He begins to talk rudely in telling her what to do and what to wear and who to talk to. He starts being very possessive in wanting Stacey to only be with him. He begins to be aggressive and starts physically abusing her. She doesn’t know what to do but she starts to let it go because she loves him and doesn’t want to lose him. Her friend Nikki and other friends start noticing something going on with Stacey and sees the bruises but Stacey defends Bobby and swears that nothing is wrong. But Stacey does knows what Bobby is doing is wrong.

She doesnt want him to hurt her anymore. She doesn't want him to control her anymore. She breaks up with him. Bobby gets furious but pretends to understand and stays away. Stacey then tries and gets on with her life but then gets a phone call from Bobby wanting to talk. She goes over to his house where Vince and Bobby are hanging out. Bobby starts yelling at her about wanting to get back together and Stacey walks away. Bobby apologizes and offers to drive her home. At the lake where Bobby and Stacey are arguing, he becomes upset and pulls out a knife. He hugs Stacey one more time and then stabs her. Vince sees Bobby coming back alone. He tells Vince, "If I can't have her, no one can."      

After searching for so long and hoping that the police will have better luck, Stacey's mom doesn't give up. Vince eventually comes forward and tells police what really happened. Bobby is arrested for Stacey's murder. He is convicted and sentence to life in prison. The judge takes time to address the court with the fact that everyone knew of the abuse that Stacey was receiving and they didn't do anything about it. Stacey would probably still be alive if someone would have only said something but no one would tell.
