    Florida Man Friday - 23-Year-Old Woman Posed as a 14 Year Old to Molest Kids - Alyssa Zinger

    Florida Man Friday - 23-Year-Old Woman Posed as a 14 Year Old to Molest Kids - Alyssa Zinger

    In today's Florida Man Friday installment of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, we uncover the mindboggling actions of 23-year-old Alyssa Ann Zinger. With the guise of a 14-year-old girl, Alyssa infiltrated the lives of unsuspecting minors, leading to a series of deplorable crimes with lots of minors.

    Alyssa's calculated deception began on Snapchat, where messages vanish, allowing her to prey on children with disturbing ease. Her initial arrest in November 2023 for engaging in over 30 sexual acts with a student and distributing explicit materials was only the tip of the iceberg. As the investigation unfolded, the depth of her manipulation became clear, with multiple victims from Wilson Middle School in Tampa falling prey to her plot.

    The Tampa Police Department's discovery that Alyssa had posed as a homeschooled teen to gain the trust of her victims adds a layer of horror to her actions. When caught shoplifting, her attempt to maintain her false identity crumbled, unraveling a year-long police investigation and leading to her arrest on multiple counts of lewd and lascivious conduct.

    Join me as we delve into the psyche of a predator who exploited the innocence of youth and the legal system's response to such heinous acts.

    In today's poll, we ask: Should Alyssa Zinger have been denied bail from the outset, given the severity of her alleged crimes?

    Midweek Mini - Former Killeen Army Capt Jailed for an Ambush Shooting Murder - Adrianna Veal

    Midweek Mini - Former Killeen Army Capt Jailed for an Ambush Shooting Murder - Adrianna Veal

    In this midweek episode of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, we take a journey into the life of former Army Captain Adrianna Jean Veal who, one day lost it, and ambushed her Ex boyfriend and attempted murder.

    In Killeen, Texas, police discover a man shot in the chest. The investigation quickly spirals into the unexpected when the perpetrator, Adrianna Veal, is captured. With a history of service and a looming promotion to Major, Adrianna's life is a stark contrast to the crime she commits against Timothy Custer, her on-and-off boyfriend and a dedicated Army Chief Warrant Officer.

    Adrianna's calculated break-in and subsequent attack, carried out with a stolen gun and a hammer, reveal a premeditated attempt to end a life. As the courtroom drama ensues, we hear the victim's account and delve into the mind of a woman whose academic accolades and military rank could not shield her from the grip of violent passion.

    The defense paints a picture of a commendable life marred by a few fatal minutes, while the prosecution demands justice for a crime that not only endangered a life but sought to tarnish a reputation with false accusations.

    Poll: Should Adriana Veal have been granted probation based on her background, or was the life sentence proposed by the prosecution more fitting for her crime?

    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.

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
