Rewind | Bloody Paramours: The Lonely Hearts Killers

About this episode

This episode explores the tragic tale of the Lonely Hearts Killers, revealing the dark side of romantic deception and murder.

The ad promised love. The reply sealed a fate. Martha watched as Raymond penned another letter, his words a perfect trap, soft, seductive, laced with lies. She had read enough of them to know how this would end. A train ride, a candlelit promise, a kiss that tasted like forever. Then the screams. The blood. The body they’d have to bury. Another lonely heart, hopelessly in love. Hopelessly doomed.
