WHEN REVENGE LEADS TO MURDER
Today we'll hear stories of tragedy that seem unendurable. Jamie was a sophomore in high school when she met Brett. They dated intensely because Brett was constantly calling her and keeping track of her whereabouts. Brett's controlling habits became too much for Jamie and she broke up with him...but he didn't see it that way. When she began dating another young man, Brett announced he was going to kill him - and that's exactly what he did. One night he pushed his way into Jamie's home, shot her new boyfriend, then proceeded to shoot and kill Jamie's mom before raping Jamie. The nightmare ended with Brett driving Jamie to the police station where the two teens reported what happened together. We'll also meet Alicia, whose ex-boyfriend broke the protective order against him, in order to follow through with the death threat he made earlier on her life. With a pistol in hand he attempted to grab Alicia from her car as she was pulling into her grandparents' driveway. Her mom was in the car too, and she dove across the seat to protect Alicia. Alicia's boyfriend proceeded to shoot and kill her mom, grandfather, grandmother, and her aunt. He then took her hostage to his parents' home where his family convinced him to turn himself in to the police. |
