  • They Met on the Show Love Is Blind and Ended in Attempted Murder | Santiago Martinez and Emily Ceco

    They Met on the Show Love Is Blind and Ended in Attempted Murder | Santiago Martinez and Emily Ceco
    May 1 2026
    What started as a reality show love story quickly turned into a criminal case.

    Emily Ceco and Santiago Martínez met on Love Is Blind: Argentina, built a relationship without seeing each other, and got married on the show. To the public, they looked like one of the success stories.

    But by early 2025, Emily was reporting him to police, saying that she had to run to survive.

    At trial, the case came down to one question: was this an argument that escalated… or an attempted murder?

    Listen to a case where love started out blind, but ended in blind rage.

  • Man Poured Coffee on Wife's Head, Strangled to Death by Son | Hans Knickerbocker

    Man Poured Coffee on Wife's Head, Strangled to Death by Son | Hans Knickerbocker
    Apr 29 2026
    A domestic argument inside a quiet family home in upstate New York ended with a father dead and his own son charged with murder.

    Police say 63-year-old Philip Knickerbocker was arguing with his wife, Jacqueline, when things turned violent. After allegedly pouring hot coffee over her head and trying to hit her, their son, Hans Knickerbocker, stepped in.

    What happened next ended with Philip dead on the couch from strangulation.

    Now prosecutors say Hans intentionally killed his father. But others are asking if this was murder or a son trying to protect someone during a violent family fight.

    This is the case of Philip and Hans Knickerbocker.
