LOVE MURDER

On this week's Current Affairs, Jessie does a solo catchup on three cases back in the news this week. They include ex-Youtuber Ruby Franke who is accused of child abuse; ex-children's book author Kouri Richins who is accused of murdering the husband she wrote her book about; and Adnan Syed who came forward with what he says is new evidence in the murder of Hae Min Lee that landed him in jail (and on Serial).

Current Affairs is Love Murder's show about the stories of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.
