  • Killer on Campus: The Murder of Jesse Valencia

    Killer on Campus: The Murder of Jesse Valencia
    Jun 24 2026
    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.Sources:Davidson, Linda.

    Gilgo Beach Killer Rex Heuermann Sentenced [Current Affairs]
    Jun 23 2026

    Rex Heuermann, the Gilgo Beach serial killer, has been sentenced to life in prison for the murders of seven women, after admitting to killing eight over a 17-year span. This week, Jessie and Andie discuss the sentencing hearing, the families’ devastating victim impact statements, and the long-delayed reckoning for the women Heuermann murdered.

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

    Love, Lies and Ammunition: Louise and William Thoresen
    Jun 17 2026
    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.Sources:1.

Honestly this podcast is up there with my top 3 true crime podcasts of all time. Without a doubt you will be hooked the very first time you listen to them both. If your not listening to them, then you are missing out big time. You won't be disappointed, plus they both do cases that are not recycled. 100% genuine.

These 2 are the best!!!
