The Grunds of Peru, Indiana were a couple people just couldn’t help but notice. Susan was a glamorous younger wife, Jim a high-powered atty. Together they made a dashing couple and had all the trappings of wealth: a beautiful home, fancy trips, a Cessna airplane, designer duds and the best that money could buy. But behind closed doors the marriage was threatened by infidelity, financial arguments and one member of the couple’s dark secrets.

Today, we are sharing part one of a two-part series from the award-winning true crime podcast RedHanded, hosted by Suruthi Bala and Hannah Maguire. RedHanded is the UK's #1 True Crime podcast, covering everything from high-profile murders and cults to con artists and cultural catastrophes, always asking not just what happened, but why.

In part one, Suruthi and Hannah dive into the case of Kouri Richins, a Utah mother who published a children's book about grief after her husband Eric died in what was ruled an accidental overdose. Just a month after appearing on local TV to promote it, Kouri was arrested and charged with murdering Eric herself. Was she a grieving wife trying to rebuild her family's life, or a Black Widow who plotted to poison her husband for his money? Head over to RedHanded to catch part two, where Hannah and Suruthi pull apart the trial and discuss how Kouri unwittingly destroyed her own defence while trying to outwit the prosecution.

In the summer of 2006, a young mother in Limerick, Ireland suffered an asthma attack at home. She didn't survive. Her husband was left alone with two babies, a dog, and a house full of grief. So he did what any desperate parent would do. He asked for help. He just had no idea what was coming.

Lee Gilley was awaiting trial for the capital murder of his pregnant wife, Christa Bauer Gilley, when prosecutors say he cut off his ankle monitor, fled the country using forged documents, and sought asylum in Italy. Now, an Italian appeals court has temporarily blocked his extradition over concerns that he could face the death penalty or life without parole in Texas.

A stagnant long-term marriage comes to a shocking end when one member of the couple is murdered in their own home. But was the killer the spouse, the wife’s lover, or any of the husband’s mistresses? Phone records eventually put a private eye of murky ethics on the investigator’s radar and revealed a villain so unhinged that they draw comparisons to the movie Fatal Attraction.

To friends and neighbors, Bob and Sherry Durall looked like a busy, happily married couple raising three children in the suburbs of Seattle. Behind the image of family, faith and stability, however, was a darker story - one that would lead detectives into the strange new world of internet dating and digital breadcrumbs that would lead to an arrest.

In this episode of Love Murder Current Affairs, in Bellevue, Washington, software engineer Avinash Narne has been charged with murdering his wife, Raajitha Sabbineni, eight months after he reported finding her unresponsive behind a locked bathroom door — an arranged marriage that lasted four months, and phone records that revealed another woman. In Las Vegas, grand jury testimony has laid out new details in the killing of Amanda Frias Rosas and her husband Victor, shot by Amanda's ex-husband at the grocery store where they worked — on their son's twelfth birthday, with custody papers left tucked in her arm. Jessie and Andie trace both cases as they unfolded in the news this week.

Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.

On July 15, 1992, 23-year-old Rachel Nickell was murdered on Wimbledon Common in broad daylight, with her two-year-old son as the only witness. With no DNA at the scene, police fixated on the wrong man, building an infamous honey trap operation around a profiler's hunch while the real killer stayed free. It took sixteen years and a DNA breakthrough to finally get justice. This week, Andie covers one of the most notorious investigations in British history.

In August 2006, Bernadette Vander Meer fell 1,200 feet from the summit of Angels Landing in Zion National Park on what was supposed to be her tenth anniversary trip. Authorities called it an accident and closed the case. Twenty years later — after a tip from a former youth group member, a phone call from a pastor who never believed it, and an affidavit laying out an affair, a breakup two days before the trip, and a half-million-dollar insurance payout — her husband was arrested for her murder. Three days later, he was dead. Jessie traces how the case broke open in the news this week.

When a popular, openly gay University of Missouri student is murdered on campus, police interview his friends and lovers as well as looking at the murder as a possible hate crime. The entire time the detectives are digging into Jesse’s personal life, the actual killer is hiding in plain sight, much closer to the investigation than anyone expected.

When a young woman falls in love with a wealthy heir, she thinks she is marrying into a life of privilege and adventure. Instead, she finds herself trapped in a relationship filled with infidelity, abuse, fear, a crap ton of weaponry, and so many mysterious murders that there is a possible link to the Zodiac Killer.

Two women, decades apart in age, whose relationships turned deadly within days of each other. In Berkeley, thirty-seven-year-old Vanessa Sanchez was fighting Stage 4 breast cancer when the man police called her boyfriend walked into her apartment — and days later walked out with a roller suitcase. In southeastern Kentucky, eighteen-year-old Jadeance Hale spent her final hours trying to leave her boyfriend, with her best friend Lila Asher beside her, when a 911 call and a high-speed pursuit ended in tragedy. Jessie and Andie trace both cases as they unfolded in the news this week.

Sophie Toscan du Plantier was a 39-year-old French producer, wife, and mother who traveled alone to her remote cottage in West Cork just before Christmas 1996. Two days later, she was found dead outside her gate, beaten beyond recognition, in a case that drew in Irish folklore, French cinema, a troubled local journalist, years of failed prosecutions, and a family’s long fight for justice across two countries.

Three of our past subjects died this spring. Betty Broderick, who served 35 years for the 1989 La Jolla murders of her ex-husband Dan and his new wife Linda. Raynella Dossett Leath, the Tennessee nurse twice tried in the deaths of her district attorney husband and her second husband, and ultimately cleared. And Claudine Longet, the French-born singer whose 1976 shooting of Olympic skier Spider Sabich in Aspen ended in a thirty-day sentence served largely on weekends. We revisit how each relationship broke.

This week on Love Murder Current Affairs, Jessie and Andie cover two major updates in cases of love gone fatally wrong: Kouri Richins is sentenced to life without parole for the fentanyl poisoning murder of her husband Eric, and the South Carolina Supreme Court overturns Alex Murdaugh’s murder convictions after finding his trial was tainted by the court clerk’s improper comments to jurors.

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 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.

New court filings lay out prosecutors’ most detailed theory yet in the case against singer d4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. This episode breaks down the latest developments, including the prosecution’s new evidence brief, the judge’s decision not to seal it, the delayed preliminary hearing, the family’s response, and what remains unverified as the case moves toward its next court date.

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.

When a newlywed is killed 3 months after their wedding, suspicion turns on the surviving spouse. Was it simply an accident or an act of jealous revenge? If so, was it the spouse or possibly the spouse’s ex?

This week Current Affairs covers three cases. A Northern Ireland YouTuber is found guilty of murdering his pregnant girlfriend after staging a six-hour gaming livestream as his alibi — while she watched from home. In California, a 30-year-old father is found dead in his apartment and police arrest his ex-girlfriend and three accomplices across three states in what they're calling a deliberate murder-for-hire. And an update on the Hawaii doctor case: Arielle Konig takes the stand exactly one year after her husband allegedly tried to push her off a cliff.

Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.

A Utah jury convicts Kouri Richins in the death of her husband Eric after a case that unfolded from a late-night 911 call into a complex web of financial strain, insurance policies, and alleged poisoning with fentanyl. The episode walks through the key facts presented at trial, from mounting debt and changes to Eric’s estate to the evidence prosecutors say pointed to intent, and the questions that still remain about what happened inside their home that night.

A former NFL first-round draft pick is charged with killing his fiancée in a home they had shared for just ten days. Prosecutors say that in the hours before calling 911, he used ChatGPT to ask questions about her injuries and how to describe what had happened. As investigators detail a history of prior violence, a severe autopsy report, and inconsistencies in his account, those AI conversations have become part of the evidence in a case that is now headed toward a grand jury.

A frantic 911 call in Tip City, Ohio launches a massive investigation after 37-year-old teacher and mother Ashley Flynn is found shot to death in her bed while her two young daughters sleep down the hall. Her husband, former American Idol contestant and church worship leader Caleb Flynn, initially claims an intruder broke into the home—but investigators say the crime scene doesn’t match the story. Just 82 hours later, Caleb is arrested and charged with murder. In this Current Affairs episode, Jessie and Andie break down the disappearance and killing of Ashley Flynn, the evidence that led to the arrest, and what may happen when the case heads to court.

When a joyful young Filipino mother searching for a better life in America is killed during a South Dakota pheasant hunt, her fiancé insists it was a tragic accident. But as investigators dig deeper, they uncover a disturbing pattern: a violently jealous ex-cop, a secret vasectomy, a hidden affair, and nearly a million dollars in life insurance taken out on the victim just months before her death. What initially looked like a hunting mishap slowly unravels into a chilling story of greed, betrayal, and a man who believed his badge could help him get away with murder.

Former MLB pitcher Dan Serafini has been sentenced to life in prison without parole for the 2021 murder of his father-in-law Gary Spohr and the attempted murder of his mother-in-law Wendy Wood at their Lake Tahoe home. Prosecutors argued Serafini carried out the attack with help from his secret lover, the family’s former nanny, in a case built largely on circumstantial evidence that ended with a guilty verdict in 2025 and sentencing in February 2026.
