LOVE MURDER

When a beloved Arizona teacher, therapist, and artist is bludgeoned to death in her own home, suspicion falls on the two men who loved her — an ex-husband who couldn't accept the divorce, and the best friend living in her guest house. A phone call cut short, mysterious DNA under her fingernails, and a marriage that wouldn't die collide in a case that twists through an anonymous email, a contaminated autopsy table, and two trials.

This week on Current Affairs, two cases of love gone fatally wrong. In Houston, restaurateur Matthew Mitchell shot and killed his wife Thy and their two young children before turning the gun on himself, leaving the city's food scene and a tight-knit family in shock. In Miami, 18-year-old Jahara Malik was sentenced to 17 years for fatally stabbing her boyfriend Yahkeim "Keimo" Lollar in an apartment garage — a killing she claimed was an accident, and a sentence his family says still isn't enough.
Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.

When a hardworking Hollywood cameraman is found shot dead in his Los Angeles home, police initially assume it’s a burglary gone wrong. With no forced entry and no stolen items, however, the investigation turns to personal vendettas, ultimately leading to the discovery of an additional linked murder and landing one of the perpetrators on death row.

When a devoted wife and mother is handcuffed in a Target parking lot in broad daylight by an official-looking woman wearing a badge, witnesses assume they are watching a real arrest. When the woman doesn’t return home and no police department can find any record of the detention, suspicion falls on those closest to her.
