On a beautiful day in sunny Sydney, Australia, Renae Marsden made her way to Jacob’s Ladder - a lookout in Watsons Bay's oceanside suburb. 

It was the 5th of August, 2013, and Renae was just a couple months shy of her 21st birthday.

Climbing up a cliff known as “The Gap”, Renae stared into the crashing waves below. 

It had been a devastating day, after her boyfriend, Brayden Spiteri, sent her a text that read, “I think I need a break, and so do you.” 

Renae then sent a few texts back, including one to her mother, telling her she loved her and was sorry. 

She then threw her phone into the ocean. Minutes later, Renae followed her phone over the cliff's edge.

A model couple with thousands of followers made TikToks about how drama-free their relationship was – but no one knew the full story until murder made the headlines….

Ali Abulaban was used to getting stopped on the streets for the Scarface and Skyrim impressions that had made him famous on TikTok– while his beautiful wife Ana made TikToks about what a great husband and father he was. 

But behind closed doors of their luxury condo, it was a different story: domestic violence, jealousy, and spying.
