These are six true stories; stories sprinkled with lies, secrets, and murder.

Like wounded forest beasts, their judgement is clouded by pain and rage at the loss of their darlings. Consumed by blinding jealousy, they lose control over their lives, their rage growing inside their beings until it explodes into violence and murder.

He had gone to her apartment earlier that morning, and when he let himself in with his key, he found her lying dead on her bed.

The Murder of David Crump

To all appearances, David was a carefree happy individual. At least, that was the way it appeared to most people. But they couldn't have been more wrong.

The Murder of Michelle Avila

While the hikers were crossing the stream, one of them looked upstream and told his companion that there was something in the water ahead that looked like a body.

The Murder of Gregory Smart

Gregory was already home, his wife discovered. She opened the door of their home and was greeted by the gruesome sight of her husband's bloody corpse lying on the floor.

The Slaying of Deborah Spicer

The Shooting of William Strawn

She walked slowly down the hallway and into the living room. And there, she saw a sight that sent a scream rising to her throat and her world reeling. Stretched face down on the living room floor was the body of her fiancé, deathly still.
