Hello and welcome to Till Death Do Us Part Just Melissa.

On October 23, 2025, in a quiet home outside London, Ohio, a husband calls 911.

His voice is frantic.

My wife just stabbed herself.

There's no pulse.

Blood all over the place.

But investigators arriving at the scene would soon begin asking a question that would

haunt this case for months.

How does someone stab themselves 17 times?

This is the story of Rachel Long, a mother, a business owner, and a woman who friends say was planning a brand new chapter in her life. And the man, investigators say, made sure she never got

that chance. Rachel Long was 32 years old. A dog groomer who ran her own small grooming business.

Rachel was known among friends as energetic, warm, and fiercely devoted to her two daughters. She lived with her

husband Kyle Long in a home along State Route 187 outside London, Ohio. From the outside, it looked

like a quiet life. But behind the walls of that home, friends say Rachel had begun

thinking about a major change. According to investigators and friends, Rachel had recently told

her husband, Kyle, that she wanted a separation. She was ready to start over. A friend later saying, that was not Rachel. This is not

the way she would have handled a situation in her life. Because Rachel had plans, plans that

stretched into the very next day. Into the evening of October 23rd, 2025 at 5.49 p.m., Rachel is texting a friend. The two women are discussing a concert they plan to attend the next night.

Rachel asked what she should wear. This was nothing unusual. This was nothing alarming. Just normal life. But this would be the last

message Rachel Long would ever send. At 5.53 p.m., a 911 call comes in. The caller? Rachel's

husband, Kyle Long. But the call ends abruptly. He hangs up. Dispatchers never get full

information. And then at 5.57 p.m. four minutes later, another call. This time Kyle stays on the line.
