A 22-year-old man has been convicted of killing a 14-year-old Brooklyn girl he first met online.
According to authorities, Christian Ferdinand admitted to suffocating Shaniesha Forbes with a pillow because he thought she was pregnant.
Police say he then hid her body for two days before setting it on fire in Gerritsen Beach in January of last year.
Ferdinand is facing 25 years to life in prison when he's sentenced next month.
