About this episode

The episode discusses two fatal relationships that occurred within days of each other, highlighting the tragic outcomes in both cases.

Two women, decades apart in age, whose relationships turned deadly within days of each other. In Berkeley, thirty-seven-year-old Vanessa Sanchez was fighting Stage 4 breast cancer when the man police called her boyfriend walked into her apartment — and days later walked out with a roller suitcase. In southeastern Kentucky, eighteen-year-old Jadeance Hale spent her final hours trying to leave her boyfriend, with her best friend Lila Asher beside her, when a 911 call and a high-speed pursuit ended in tragedy. Jessie and Andie trace both cases as they unfolded in the news this week. Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.
