Rachel Murray

**Rachel Kay Murray** is the girlfriend of Audrey Jensen. She is shown as caring towards Audrey. Rachel is also Audrey's crush or girlfriend. It is possible that she knows about Nina Patterson and Tyler O'Neill's deaths.

Rachel is a shy, self-harming and self-loathing student from St. Mary's school for girls. She is wicked smart, sweet and funny, but hates the way she looks. The night after the video of her and Audrey making out goes viral and Nina's death, she was brutally murdered by an anonymous person said to be wearing the Brandon James mask (the new Ghostface mask).

Rachel is the third character to die in the series.

## Death

Despite the video of her and Audrey kissing being taken down, Rachel is still able to see the comments and is about to cut herself with razor blades when Audrey calls her as she gasps. She quickly puts the razor blade back and answers her phone. "Hey. Did you get home okay?" she asks over the phone, looking at the bleeding cut from her arm. "Yeah, how are you doing?” Audrey asks. Rachel gets up from her bed and walks over to the bathroom, healing her small cut. "Uh, your voice sounds kind of weird." Rachel says.

“Must be a bad connection. How about now?” Audrey asks. “Not really, but it’s okay.” Rachel replies. “I’ve been thinking about you all night.” says Audrey. “Must be a crap TV night.” answers Rachel. “Why do you do that? Put yourself down?” Audrey asks. “It’s not just me. Have you been online?” Rachel asks, holding the phone next to her ear. “Ignore them.” replies Audrey. “Yeah, you don’t go to a bitch-infested Catholic school.” Rachel rebukes. “There’s a bitch infestation at my school, too, trust me. So, do you want some company?” Audrey wondered.

“No. It’s late.” Rachel replies. “What if I’m already here?” Audrey asks, devilishly. Just after, a thudding noise is heard. “What was that?” Rachel says, walking out of the bathroom. “Audrey, that’s not funny. My mom is gonna be home soon.” Rachel tells Audrey, walking towards the closet door. “Okay, if this is a *coming-out-of-the-closet* joke, it needs to be significantly less creepy.” says Rachel, standing in front of the closet door. “Go ahead. Take a look.” Audrey snarls. Rachel opens the closet door but no one is inside. She sighs with relief. “Okay, you got me. Where are you?” she asks just as a rattling noise is heard and the side door creaks. She turns around and slowly walks towards the door. Static is heard in the other line. “Audrey, you’re scaring me.” Rachel says, worried.

“Just playing. Come out to our spot. It’s a beautiful night.” Audrey says as Rachel opens the balcony door. She looks around. "Audrey? Audrey, you're not out here." Rachel rebukes. A bench is slightly rocking next to her. “Romeo, you are certifiable.” she tells Audrey, smiling. “What can I say? *You* make me crazy.” Audrey says on the other line. Rachel slowly walks over to the balcony railing. “Audrey, where are you?” she asks, now nervous. There she finds a rope looped over one of the railings. When she draws it up, she finds a noose at the end of the rope. Rachel looks at it.

Then Ghostface jumps out from behind her and wraps the noose around her neck with her yelping and shrieking as she tries to fight back. Ghostface picks Rachel up, then throws her over the side of the balcony with her screaming. Her neck snaps, instantly killing her. Her foot twitches for a quick second then goes still. Ghostface looks over the balcony watching Rachel's corpse swinging side to side.

Her dead body is later set up hung from a ceiling fan, as Ghostface wants Maggie Duval (the coroner) to figure out that it was a murder, instead of Rachel's death being a suicide.

## After Death

Later, Rachel's pale corpse is examined for an autopsy. Maggie realizes when Rachel was hanged, she had a dislocated vertebra and crushed larynx.

If Rachel would have hanged herself from an 8-foot high ceiling fan wouldn't cause that much trauma. She and Sheriff Clark Hudson realize that Rachel was actually murdered.
