The provided episode details the true crime story of Shawnie Vel Young, a woman in Mississippi who became fatally obsessed with an ex-boyfriend, David Britt, after their brief relationship ended. Driven by rejection, Young descended into stalking and the practice of "darker type magic," including spells and hexes, in a desperate attempt to win Britt back and destroy his new relationship with Pam. When her rituals failed, Young resorted to violence, ultimately murdering Leeann Warner, an innocent friend of Pam’s, in 2012, mistakenly believing Warner was the rival; the source explores the psychological fragility and series of failed relationships that made Young vulnerable to this intense obsession and the supernatural solutions she sought. The narrative concludes by describing Young's swift arrest, the highly publicized trial that debated her mental state versus premeditation, and her subsequent conviction of first-degree murder resulting in a life sentence.
