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.

Rachel Nickell and the Wimbledon Common Honey Trap
1 hr 24 min
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.

Bernadette Vander Meer's Accident Became a Murder Twenty Years Later [Current Affairs]
5 min
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.

Same Week, Opposite Coasts: Two Relationships That Turned Fatal [Current Affairs]
5 min
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. Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.

Myth and Murder in West Cork: The Story of Sophie Toscan du Plantier
1 hr 46 min
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.

The Final Chapter for Three Infamous Women: Betty Broderick, Raynella Leath, and Claudine Longet [Current Affairs]
9 min
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.
