The episode discusses the tragic case of Nikki McPhatter, who was killed by her boyfriend and his girlfriend after attempting to end their casual relationship.

From Outlore Archives USA, 2009: When 30 year old Nikki McPhatter decided to end her situationship with Theodore Manning, she drove from Charlotte to Columbia to pick up her belongings. Their relationship had been casual, nothing deep and no strings attached. But Nikki wanted more, and this man who was dating a roster of women wasn’t capable of offering that. Given his roster of women, Nikki thought ending things would be easy. But once arrived at Theodore’s home, that wouldn’t be the case. Instead, Nikki’s life became in grave danger…and Theodore would call on that roster for backup very soon.
