Love Marry Kill

On February 14, 2013 — Valentine’s Day — the world was stunned by the news that South African Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius had shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, inside his home in Pretoria. What followed was one of the most closely watched criminal trials of the 21st century — a case that forced the public to grapple with uncomfortable questions about celebrity, justice, gender-based violence, and how much of a public figure’s private life we ever truly see.Support us on PatreonToday's snack: South African picnic bread

Kelley Clayton, a 35-year-old mother of two, was brutally murdered in her Caton, New York home on September 28, 2015. The attack appeared staged as a home invasion, but nothing was stolen and there was no forced entry. One of Kelley’s children witnessed part of the horrific scene, helping lead investigators toward the truth. As evidence mounted, a murder-for-hire plot emerged involving her husband, Thomas Clayton, and a disgruntled former employee. The case revealed secret affairs, financial motives, shifting confessions, and a community devastated by the betrayal.Today's snack: Brown butter pecan barsBuy LMK merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/love-marry-kill-store/Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lovemarrykillSources:https://www.peacocktv.com/watch/playback/vod/GMO_00000000370107_01/729fee5a-798c-3471-94a0-53c2123df084 Datelinehttps://www.hulu.com/watch/8edeed6a-3d99-4170-8758-7ba222c2af90 20/20https://www.newspapers.com/image-view/131716630/?match=1&terms=%22Kelley%20Clayton%22https://www.hulu.com/watch/8edeed6a-3d99-4170-8758-7ba222c2af90https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/star-gazette/name/kelley-clayton-obituary?id=21677715https://www.stargazette.com/story/news/public-safety/2017/01/20/clayton-trial-questions-over-poker-game-phone-call/96798910/https://www.stargazette.com/story/news/public-safety/2017/01/19/clayton-trial-alleged-accomplices-were-co-workers/96743388/https://www.newyorkupstate.com/sports/2017/04/upstate_ny_hockey_pro_gets_life_without_parole_for_killing_wife_murder_for_hire.htmlhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4447978/Former-hockey-pro-sentenced-life-prison.htmlhttps://www.stargazette.com/story/news/public-safety/2017/04/17/blandford-get-3-6-years-role-clayton-murder/100565918/https://www.stargazette.com/story/news/public-safety/2018/11/01/thomas-clayton-kelley-clayton-murder-hire-motive-michael-beard/1836311002/https://www.newspapers.com/image/132584642/?match=1&terms=%22Kelley%20Clayton%22https://www.stargazette.com/story/news/local/2025/09/25/murder-of-kelley-clayton-still-stirs-strong-emotions-a-decade-later/85816556007/?gnt-cfr=1&gca-cat=p&gca-uir=true&gca-epti=z119691p118050c118050d00----v119691d--57--b--57--&gca-ft=190&gca-ds=sophihttps://www.stargazette.com/story/news/local/2025/09/25/murder-of-kelley-clayton-still-stirs-strong-emotions-a-decade-later/85816556007/https://www.stargazette.com/story/news/local/2025/09/25/kelly-stage-clayton-murder-case-timeline-of-events-trial-verdicts/86167110007/https://www.bumc.bu.edu/camed/2024/12/04/largest-study-of-cte-in-male-ice-hockey-players-finds-odds-increased-34-with-each-year-played/

Newlyweds Anni Hindocha and Shrien Dewani jetted off to South Africa for their honeymoon after their traditional Indian wedding when disaster struck. After dining in one of the more dangerous outlying townships, the taxi they were in was carjacked. Shrien and the taxi driver escaped unharmed but Anni was shot and killed. But as investigators began to untangle what happened that night, nothing about the carjacking made sense — and attention quickly shifted to the people closest to Anni. Rumors, contradictions, shifting testimony, and international headlines soon turned a tragic murder into one of South Africa’s most controversial cases. Support us on PatreonMerch Store is open until December 22, 2025: https://www.bonfire.com/store/love-marry-kill-store/Sourceshttps://play.hbomax.com/video/watch/0b588375-8e51-4cd1-9b8e-332c45bb20a2/ce577af7-7850-443f-8c0f-e8913067bf8a HBO Anni: The Honeymoon MurderNewling, Dan.

As neighbors watched in disbelief, Carmela’s family rushed to the scene, only to learn that David Knight and their two sons were safe at hockey practice, but a body had been found inside the garage.In the days that followed, loved ones feared the worst. And as investigators began piecing together the events of that night, early clues raised troubling questions. David insisted he had nothing to do with what happened. He had an alibi.

On the evening of May 20, 2015, a frantic 911 call came in from a jewelry store in Goose Creek, South Carolina. The caller, Michael Colucci, told dispatchers that his wife, Sara, had tried to take her own life, and that he was performing CPR. When first responders arrived, they found Sara outside the couple’s business, The Gold Standard, lying near a hose that had been looped over a fence. Michael said she had used it to hang herself. But investigators quickly noticed that parts of his story didn’t add up.As detectives began to piece together what had really happened that night, a much darker picture emerged — one involving financial troubles, personal turmoil, and a marriage under strain. What began as a call for help soon became a homicide investigation that would divide a community and test the boundaries of reasonable doubt.Today's snack: Peanut Patch Boiled Peanuts and Chocolate Cake Lovers TwinkiesSupport us on PatreonSources:https://www.newspapers.com/image/442744952/?match=1&terms=%22Sara%20Moore-Colucci%22https://www.fitsnews.com/2024/05/13/colucci-retrial-what-happened-to-sara-coluccis-first-husband/https://www.fitsnews.com/2024/05/01/colucci-retrial-a-family-unraveling/https://www.live5news.com/2025/06/17/judge-dismisses-case-against-summerville-jeweler-charged-wifes-death/https://www.fitsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/securepdfs/2024/04/Colucci-Civil-Filing.pdfhttps://www.counton2.com/news/friend-of-sara-colucci-speaks-out-about-rocky-marriage/https://www.jamesadyal.com/obituaries/?filter=colucci https://www.courttv.com/title/sc-v-michael-colucci-the-background/https://crimeandcask.com/michael-colucci-retrial-in-2015-murder-of-wife/https://apnews.com/general-news-e17e883ed3ee41618feec6f92ac4d36ahttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/2HOsbGQN9UEtw87E0R4QzG?si=d6b5cbad1d684f80 https://www.berkeleyobserver.com/2024/03/20/retrial-set-for-berkeley-county-jeweler-accused-of-killing-wife/https://crimeandcask.com/michael-colucci-retrial-in-2015-murder-of-wife/https://www.courttv.com/title/4-sc-v-colucci-law-enforcement-testimony-pt2/https://www.fitsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/securepdfs/2024/04/Ivo-Colucci-incident-report-1.pdf https://www.newspapers.com/image/1215327543/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cup-of-justice/id1668668400?i=1000714337145https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-sunlight/id1573560247?i=1000653535168

Andrew and Robert Kissel grew up just four years apart in a family where wealth and competition went hand in hand. Their father, Bill, was a relentless businessman who demanded success from his sons, and both carried that drive into adulthood in very different ways. Rob built his career as a prominent investment banker, while Andrew often looked for shortcuts in the world of real estate. In 1989, Rob married Nancy Keeshin, a spirited and impulsive woman whose personality contrasted sharply with his serious, ambitious nature. When Rob’s career took the family to Hong Kong, they appeared to be living the dream among the city’s wealthy expatriates. But behind the polished image, cracks in the marriage were starting to show. By November 2003, those tensions reached a breaking point when Rob vanished after a violent fight with Nancy. Soon, the Kissel family name would become infamous on two continents.Today's snack: Homemade strawberry milkshakeSupport us on Patreon
