About this episode

Becky and Bevy discuss the tragic story of Lorna Smith and the complexities of her relationship with a controlling partner.

Today on LOTW, Becky and Bevy discuss the second episode in their stalker series. Lorna Smith was forty‑five, a grandmother who worked hard and stayed close to her family. After ending a long relationship, she sought companionship again, hoping for stability and connection. She entered a new relationship with someone who seemed attentive, but beneath that surface was a controlling nature she couldn’t always see. His detachment from this side of himself allowed him to present as caring, while privately showing signs of jealousy and dominance. That tension between appearance and reality shaped the path of their relationship, and it was within those blurred boundaries that investigators later found the story of what happened to her.
