You Belong to Me: The Murder of Robin Benedict

About this episode

This episode explores the dark side of love through the story of Robin Benedict's murder, highlighting themes of obsession and entitlement.

Love can be a pretty hard thing to define. It’s easier to say what it is not. Love is not secretly following someone and trying your best to keep her within sight every second of the day. Love is not trying to keep someone scared and uncertain so that they’ll rely on you more. And love is not thinking you own a person, and becoming furious when you find out that you do that. This is a story about someone who made all those mistakes, who mistook obsession for devotion, and whose towering sense of entitlement turned into awful violence.
