A short relationship turned deadly when an ex felt entitled to more. Makayla Rhiner’s story highlights the dangers of escalating violence. 

Makayla was only 21 when she was killed by her ex-boyfriend, Brandon Michael Hanson, after a brief three-month relationship. 

Despite common misconceptions that domestic violence primarily affects long-term relationships, Makayla's story highlights the dangers that can arise even in short-term dating relationships, showcasing Hanson's refusal to accept their breakup and resulting in manipulative and violent behavior that ultimately led to Makayla's murder.

Through interviews, court documents, and personal anecdotes, we underscore the importance of awareness and intervention in preventing domestic violence, honoring Makayla's memory, and using her story to raise awareness about the signs of abusive behavior and the devastating impact of domestic violence.
