all these different emotions surrounding love that make people do things. And what I try to tell people is the reason I think people connect with a lot of these stories is because they can see parts of themselves in those stories, not in terms of the crime committed, but in terms of the emotions involved and why people end up feeling the way they're feeling.

The only difference in many of our stories is people take it too far. And one thing I like to tell people about these stories is a lot of times these cases are not often cases with people with long criminal records, with previous crimes. Oftentimes no records. Exactly. Oftentimes no records.

So you're talking about heat of passion situations, situations where people's emotions, because of love, drove them to do something that was really beyond their normal behavior.

It's interesting that you talk about this. One thing that shocked me when I first started working on 2020s was how many of these cases involve people who are living double lives, as we call them, or have a relationship in one spot and then another relationship somewhere else. That's the motive a lot of times. Sometimes it deals—our episodes deal with— Custody issues can be the motive.

Other times it can be control issues can be the motive. Somebody didn't do what I wanted and I wanted them to change their behavior. So now I'm taking this action. But it all still comes back to the basic human feelings that we have. Just these are those feelings that are far beyond the pale. So for example, we have an episode that involves a custody situation.

And in that particular situation, you would argue, well, there's so many ways to handle that. But sometimes people feel it's gotten out of control. and that there's no other way to do anything except take this extreme action. So the motives can be all over the place.

Wow. Right? Wow. Yeah. First of all, I can't believe she said yes, but then also, I'm not only registering the shock from her, but the shock in your voice as you're going through it. Yeah.

I mean, and I also like the fact that you talk about this idea, because a lot of people ask me about this as well, that how could this person not have known? How could you not know? I mean, this is your husband, your spouse. And then they try to make, I think in many ways, judgments on the relationship. I'm not trying to say that everybody should or should not know in different situations.

I'm just saying like, I think sometimes what I've learned a lot of times, Debra, from these stories is you have no idea the lengths that people sometimes go to try to cover something that's going on in their lives. And sometimes when that happens, it can be extremely difficult for people to know what's happening.

Wow, I can't believe that. Now them hearing that firsthand, standing right there with you, I can't believe that. Just in real time, they're like, oh my goodness, that job that canceled on us was this woman.

I have never had that happen. Somebody on the set who was in some way connected to what happened. I've never had that happen. But that is that is remarkable.
