    True Crime Tuesday - Vegas Man Caught with Severed Head Claims It's Not His - Eric Holland

    True Crime Tuesday - Vegas Man Caught with Severed Head Claims It's Not His - Eric Holland

    In today's True Crime Tuesday episode of Love and Murder, we go through the case of Eric Holland, a man whose run from the law is a scene straight from a movie.

    As the Las Vegas police chase a Toyota Tundra with a suspended registration, little do they know that this pursuit will unearth a macabre discovery. The driver, 57-year-old Eric Holland, attempts a cinematic escape, swapping vehicles in a desperate bid for freedom. But his choice of a conspicuous gold Chevy Avalanche proves to be his undoing.

    The standoff that ensues is a bizarre spectacle, with Holland hurling random objects at officers before being subdued by a taser. But the real shock comes when the police uncover a severed human head and dismembered body parts stashed in coolers in the bed of the truck.

    The victim, identified as Richard P. Miller, had been brutally shot and dismembered, with evidence suggesting a personal connection between him and Holland. Despite initial claims of innocence and theories of being a "hapless car thief," Holland's tangled web of lies begins to unravel, exposing a history of criminality and a shocking plea deal confession.

    As we delve into the layers of this case, we're left wondering of Holland's thought process and mourning the tragic loss felt by Miller's family.

    When you're done listening, share your thoughts in our poll: Did you initially believe Eric Holland was innocent, or did you suspect his guilt from the start?

    UK Mom Murders Her Kids to Save Them? - The Case of Lianne Smith

    UK Mom Murders Her Kids to Save Them? - The Case of Lianne Smith

    In this episode of Love and Murder, we journey through the twisted case of Martin and Lianne Smith, a couple whose life on the run from the law ends in unspeakable tragedy. 

    We're whisked away to a quaint English village where the Smith's lives unravel in a saga of betrayal and bloodshed that spans across the UK and into the sun-drenched streets of Spain.

    For 18 years, Martin and Leanne Smith harbored secrets dark enough to eclipse the innocence of their nomadic existence. But when Martin's heinous crimes against a child surface, the couple's world implodes, leading to a run from justice that ends in the tragic smothering of their two young children.

    The courtroom becomes a battleground of defense pleas for insanity, but the cold, hard verdict speaks volumes of a mother's calculated cruelty. And just when you think the story has revealed all its shadows, a question of paternity casts a new pall over this already dark tale.

    This episode is a horrible reminder that love can sometimes be the first step to the most horrific of human behaviors - murder. 

    Remember to join the conversation and share your thoughts on this case. 

    Poll: Do you think the paternity of the Smith kids should have been brought up in court at all?

    Schizophrenia, Overhydration, Murder and a Hospital's Neglect - The Tragic Case of Lily Lucas

    Schizophrenia, Overhydration, Murder and a Hospital's Neglect - The Tragic Case of Lily Lucas

    In this episode, we delve into the depths of mental health institutions and the consequences of negligence.

    We begin in Somerset, England, where the tragic fate of 28-year-old Lily Lucas unfolds within the walls of Cygnet Hospital. Diagnosed with schizophrenia and prescribed clozapine, Lily's life takes a fatal turn when supervision fails her in a moment of need. As we dissect the oversight that led to her drinking fatal amounts of water, we're left to ponder the responsibilities of those charged with care.

    Then, we turn our gaze to Mississippi's dark underbelly, where over 800 individuals languish in uncertified jails, awaiting psychiatric treatment. With only one jail meeting state standards, we expose the systemic failure that leaves the mentally ill shackled, untreated, and forgotten. As we navigate through the state's legal loopholes and the shocking absence of care, we are confronted with a stark reality: the intersection of mental health and the justice system is fraught with peril.

    I invite you to reflect on the dire need for reform and the importance of proper care for those struggling with mental illness. Share your thoughts, experiences, and join the conversation by participating in our poll: Should police be trained to handle mental health crises, or should there be a dedicated mental health response team?

    Stay with us as we continue to shine a light on the darkest corners of love and heartbreak turned to homicide. And remember, it's all love and no murder.

    Husband Murders Wife and Cuts Body into 224 Pieces - The Brutal Homicide of Holly Bramley

    Husband Murders Wife and Cuts Body into 224 Pieces - The Brutal Homicide of Holly Bramley

    In today's midweek mini, we're plunged into the dark waters of the River Witham in the UK, where a gruesome discovery turns a peaceful walk into a nightmare.

    Join us as we unravel the case of Nicholas Metson, a man whose twisted actions led him to stab his wife, Holly Bramley, and call upon a friend to assist. As the police peel back the layers of domestic bliss gone horrifically wrong, they're met with the pungent scent of bleach, bloodstains that tell a tale of terror, and a husband's callous jokes that mask a horrible reality.

    With every piece of evidence, from incriminating Google searches to blood-soaked sheets, the image of a cold-hearted killer comes into focus. 

    But when the defense cries mental health, we're forced to question the intersection of accountability and psychological disorders. Can one's inner turmoils ever justify the ultimate betrayal?

    Share your thoughts on this story and join the conversation by participating in our poll: Can mental health issues excuse the inexcusable?

    Remember, if you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available. Call the Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or visit thehotline.org.

    Until next time, remember: It's all love and no murder.

    Florida Man Friday - Ragu Arsonists and a City Commissioner Robs an Old Lady - Regina Hill

    Florida Man Friday - Ragu Arsonists and a City Commissioner Robs an Old Lady - Regina Hill

    In this Florida Man Friday, we're diving into the Sunshine State's latest exploits with a pair of cases that will leave you shocked and outraged.

    First up, we recount the harebrained heist of Derek Ervin and John Silva, who attempted to cover their burglary tracks with a pot of Ragu sauce. Their plan? To make it look like the homeowner accidentally left his stove on, leading to a fiery disaster. Tune in to hear how this saucy scheme went up in smoke.

    Then, we turn to a case of treachery within the corridors of power. Orlando City Commissioner Regina Hill stands accused of exploiting a 96-year-old woman, using her for financial gain, and even co-opting her identity for a fraudulent house purchase. As the city sues and the courts step in to protect the elderly victim, we peel back the layers of Regina's checkered past and the allegations that paint a picture of elder abuse and deceit. 

    And if you're craving more behind-the-scenes content or want to support the show, head over to Patreon.com/loveandmurder.

Murder & Mimosas ,

LOVE is the first word for a reason

It seems fitting that the name of this podcast starts with Love because I LOVE it. I stumbled on a recent-ish episode that was a raw rant and agreed with many of the sentiments. That made me decide to listen to more episodes!

Jersey Girl in Vermont ,

Really,really good!

Just discovered and I’am here to stay. Very good stories and the host is excellent. She has a charming way of keeping you interested from beginning to end.

CJIam12 ,

Great!

I love this show! If true crime is your thang, listen to Love and Murder! It’s detailed and the utmost care is taken when discussing the victims
