Talhotblond is an 2009 documentary, detailing an Internet love triangle which resulted in a real life homicide, in a case called the "Internet Chatroom Murder." Thomas Montgomery (screen name: marinesniper), a 47-year-old married man, pleaded guilty to murdering his co-worker, 22-year-old Brian Barrett (screen name: beefcake). The two men were involved in a love triangle with "Jessi," an 18 year old girl with the screen name 'talhotblond'. While the both men knew each other from work, neither had ever met "Jessi" in person. However, "Jessi" was a real person, but it was actually her mother, Mary Shieler, who was posing as her daughter, online. Jessi was unaware of her mother's actions till after Barrett had been murdered and her mother's role in the case became widely known.
