A witness in Beau Lamarre-Condon’s double murder trial says he pressured her to let him use her Instagram account to send a long message that includes a fake cancer diagnosis. The message is described as a roughly 1,600-word text. Prosecutors and the witness frame it as part of an attempt to influence or communicate with Jesse Baird.

The witnesses’ accounts, reported by multiple outlets, focus on how Lamarre-Condon allegedly “wore down” the friend over time to gain access to her account. The friend testifies that she agreed to help him send the message, using her platform, rather than it being sent directly from his own accounts. The reports also connect the alleged hoax to Lamarre-Condon’s goal of winning Jesse Baird back, rather than to any separate communications.

Across the outlets, the central points remain consistent: the message contains the alleged false cancer claim, it is linked to the double murder trial, and it is said to have been sent via the friend’s Instagram account after alleged pressure.
