The murder of Kylee Monteiro should have, and could have, been prevented. The 18-year-old recent high school graduate was living at a Bethesda house for pregnant mothers in Pembroke, Massachusetts, and was eleven weeks pregnant at the time. From the moment I learned about Monteiro’s disappearance, something felt off. She had a significant social media presence and frequently posted about her boyfriend on TikTok, often expressing their love for each other. This is often a sign that things may not be right in the relationship. In the videos she posted with her boyfriend, Greg Groom, he appeared to want to be anywhere else but in the video.
Greg Groom shouldn’t have killed Kylee Monteiro
Greg Groom did not appear to be 22 years old; instead, he looked somewhat creepy and seemed to lack ambition. He didn’t have a car, lived with his grandparents in the woods of Rehoboth, Massachusetts, and likely worked a minimum-wage job at Hannaford supermarket. According to what Groom told investigators, Monterio appeared to be manipulative, and at first, he didn’t even believe that she was pregnant. A video recording of an argument between Groom and Monterio revealed that he just wanted his life back and wanted her out of it. However, killing her was not the solution.
A Friend or someone could’ve met Kylee Monteiro at the Groom’s house that day
The Bethesda house paid for a Lyft for her to take on August 6th to his house in Rehoboth, an hour away from Pembroke. The grandparents didn’t want Kylee staying there, which led to an argument between Groom and Monteiro. But she was staying at the Bethesda house, so it’s not like she didn’t have a place to go. All Groom had to do was call the Rehoboth police to get her off the property, and if it came to it, get a restraining order. You don’t kill her and bury her in your backyard, moron.
The Signs Were There. It was an abusive relationship
When Kylee texted her sister, “He threw me to the ground and strangled me. My phone is at 4%. If I die, Greg did it,” I would immediately call the police and request a wellness check at her house. If the police intervened and arrested Greg, he would likely face charges for assault and battery, followed by an arraignment and a subsequent court date. At that point, Kylee might choose not to pursue charges, which could lead to the dismissal of the case. However, a restraining order could still be filed to keep Greg away from her, or Kylee could have sought a restraining order herself.
According to the recording, though, it seems Kylee wanted to keep the relationship going because in her mind, she had nowhere to go. Like a fake it till I make it mentality. But she did have somewhere to go at the Bethesda house, where she’d have a place to lay her head at night. But she wanted the family vibe with Greg, and it didn’t seem he was about that.
Groom used Kylee’s Phone the Next Day To text his Sister
Greg Groom, the next day after he murdered Kyle, charged Kylee’s phone and texted her sister pretending to be her. When the sister tried calling, there was no answer. Now, if I got a text from the day before that “if I die, Greg did it.” Then, hours later, the next day, she’s not answering after a weird text message. I don’t believe a thing this creep says, and calling the cops and sending them to the house to do a wellness check period.
She wasn’t reported missing until Friday by Greg Groom, which is absolutely ridiculous. After all that buildup, she wasn’t found until two weeks later in his backyard. It’s shocking; this tragedy could have been prevented. A young life has been lost too soon, along with her unborn child, while the creepy boyfriend sits in jail.
