host, Shane Waters. Welcome back to My Bloody Valentine, our two-part Valentine Day special.

If you're just joining and haven't listened to the first part of this special,

I suggest you do so. I have seven more podcaster friends who will be joining me for crime

stories of love gone wrong in this episode. But first, are you curious who this mysterious

St. Valentine is?

Well, it's really a mystery.

We know that the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints by that name.

One legend goes, that Valentine was a priest that served during the third century in Rome.

One of the Roman emperors decided to outlaw marriage for young men because they made better soldiers. A priest named Valentine defied the emperor and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret.

Later, the emperor found out when Valentine was put to death.

But others will say it came from Valentine of Tierney, a bishop who was also beheaded by the same Roman

emperor. Both valentines became saints after their deaths.

Whichever may be the case, Valentine's Day is a day of love, until that love goes wrong.

Which brings us to our next story from my friend's Raven and Mandy from Sirens.

Please, please, send an ambulance, please. What have the problem?

My wife, my wife, my wife, I think my wife is dead.
