Today on LOTW, Becky and Bevy discuss one of Canada’s most infamous criminal cases.

Karla Homolka was seventeen when she met Paul Bernardo at a pet‑industry conference — a meeting that sparked an intense relationship almost immediately. As the two grew closer, a separate pattern of violence was unfolding in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough. Women were being attacked near bus stops and residential paths, and the unidentified offender had become known publicly as the Scarborough Rapist.

While Karla and Paul’s relationship accelerated, the assaults continued. Police released composite sketches, neighborhoods organized safety patrols, and the timeline of attacks grew longer. All the while, the couple’s life together was taking shape — trips between St. Catharines and Scarborough, long drives, and a relationship that friends noticed was unusually fast‑moving.

Part 1 follows the early years: how Karla and Paul met, how their relationship developed, and how the Scarborough attacks formed the backdrop to everything that came next.

Today on LOTW, Becky and Bevy discuss one of Indiana’s most infamous juvenile cases.

Twelve‑year‑old Shanda Sharer was still settling into life in New Albany when she met Amanda Heavrin — a friendship that quickly grew into the kind of early relationship that feels enormous at that age. Notes passed in class, whispered conversations, the thrill of being seen by someone who understood her. But Amanda wasn’t the only one paying attention. Her girlfriend, sixteen‑year‑old Melinda Loveless, watched the connection with a mix of jealousy and fear, convinced Shanda was pulling Amanda away.

The tension didn’t stay quiet. It showed up in school hallways, in after‑school confrontations, in the way older teens drifted into the situation with their own loyalties and insecurities. Adults noticed pieces of it, but never the whole picture.

On the night of January 10, 1992, while Shanda was staying at her father’s home, a group of girls arrived at the door. They told her they were there to take her to see Amanda. Believing that, Shanda stepped outside — beginning a night shaped by the complicated relationships and simmering emotions that had been building for weeks.

Today on LOTW, Becky and Bevy discuss a fractured marriage, a tangled divorce, and the chilling night that turned a family’s world upside down.

Christine Schultz was trying to rebuild her life after separating from her husband, Milwaukee detective Fred Schultz — a breakup shaped by long shifts, growing distance, and a new relationship already waiting in the background. With two young sons to care for, Christine focused on creating stability in the aftermath of their split.

But in June of 1981, while the boys slept, an intruder entered the home — a figure later described with a shock of red hair. What happened inside that house would ignite one of Wisconsin’s most debated cases and raise questions that still echo decades later.

This week on LOTW, Becky and Bevy discuss the murder of 15‑year‑old Seath Jackson — a case born from a teenage relationship that spiraled into deadly territory.

Seath and Amber Wright’s relationship had started like any other high‑school romance, but their breakup quickly turned volatile. Accusations of cheating, public arguments, and a growing feud pulled more teens into the conflict, including Amber’s new boyfriend, Michael Bargo, whose hostility toward Seath had escalated into threats. What looked like typical teenage drama was quietly hardening into something far more dangerous. When Seath suddenly disappeared, the tension that had been simmering for weeks snapped into focus. The investigation that followed uncovered a coordinated plan involving multiple teens, revealing just how far the resentment and manipulation had gone.

This week on LOTW, Becky and Bevy discuss a case that begins with a chance meeting at a gym and ends with investigators questioning whether a crime scene was telling the truth.

Larry Fenton had built a stable, successful life in Clearwater. Friends described him as hardworking and financially secure. A few years before his death, he met Rebecca Fenton at a gym when they both reached for the same machine. The relationship moved quickly, and before long the two were married.

Then on Super Bowl Sunday in 2008, Rebecca said she stepped out to work out in the garage gym while Larry stayed inside the house.

When she returned, Larry had been shot to death.

At first, the home appeared to have been ransacked — suggesting a robbery. But as investigators looked closer, the scene began raising more questions than answers.

This week on LOTW, Becky and Bevy discuss the final days of Janet Overton — a woman stepping into a new chapter just as her life took an unexpected turn.

After years focused on raising her son, Janet had stepped into a leadership role on the local school board, quickly becoming an influential voice in district decisions. She was thriving publicly, but at home her unexplained health decline was becoming harder to ignore. When she collapsed without warning, the shock was immediate. Her death was first listed as “unknown,” but the investigation that followed would reveal a far more disturbing truth.

This week on LOTW, Becky and Bevy take us to Arlington.

Long Nguyen and Huong Ly had built their lives around family, routine, and work. They ran a small tailoring business, spending long days sewing, helping customers, and trying to keep the shop steady. Their son-in-law Chao often acted as the face of the business, greeting clients and helping manage daily operations while the couple focused on the work itself.

Like many immigrant families, they had come to the United States hoping for stability and opportunity. But over time, business slowed and financial pressure grew. Looking for answers, the family sought help from a spiritual advisor, hoping that lifting what they believed was a curse on the business might improve their situation.

It didn’t.

Then one day, Long and Huong were found dead in their home — and the search for who killed this elderly couple began.

This week on LOTW, Becky and Bevy take us to St. Clair in January of 2014.

That morning, Donna Scrivo reported her adult son, Ramsay Scrivo, missing after he failed to return home the night before. It wasn’t unheard of for Ramsay to step out for cigarettes or wander to a nearby bar, but by morning his phone was quiet and no one had seen him.

Donna told police she was especially worried given his mental health history. After the death of Ramsay’s father the year before, he’d struggled — cycling off medication, dealing with legal trouble, and relying more heavily on family support. Donna had even been granted temporary guardianship during that time.

Still, in the weeks leading up to his disappearance, Ramsay seemed more stable. He was checking in where he needed to, staying close to home, and trying to move forward after a difficult year.

So, when he vanished without a word, it didn’t immediately look like a crime.

At first, it looked like a vulnerable man who might be in trouble.
