They Met on the Show Love Is Blind and Ended in Attempted Murder | Santiago Martinez and Emily Ceco

About this episode

The episode explores the transition from a reality show romance to a criminal case involving attempted murder.

What started as a reality show love story quickly turned into a criminal case. Emily Ceco and Santiago Martínez met on Love Is Blind: Argentina, built a relationship without seeing each other, and got married on the show. To the public, they looked like one of the success stories. But by early 2025, Emily was reporting him to police, saying that she had to run to survive. At trial, the case came down to one question: was this an argument that escalated… or an attempted murder? Listen to a case where love started out blind, but ended in blind rage. ************************************** Do you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you’d like to hear about?
