When Dr. Herman Tarnower—celebrity cardiologist and author of The Scarsdale Diet—was found shot dead in his Scarsdale mansion, suspicion quickly fell on his longtime lover, Jean Harris. She was a respected headmistress. He was a womanizing doctor with a younger mistress. What happened the night Jean drove 300 miles with a revolver in her purse? Was it a suicide attempt gone wrong—or a calculated murder fueled by jealousy?

In this week’s episode of Hitched 2 Homicide, we unpack the twisted triangle between Harris, Tarnower, and his secretary Lynne Tryforos—and explore how love, betrayal, and barbiturates led to one of the most sensational murders of the 1980s.
