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 podcasts of friends who will be joining me for crime stories of love

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

found out when Valentine was put to death. But others will say it came from Valentine of

tyranny. A bishop who was also beheaded by the same Roman emperor. Both Valentine's 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 friends Raven and Mandy

from sirens.

outpatient clinic. That surgery was over by 8am and afterwards, John stopped by the hospital where

he had another procedure scheduled for later that morning. Afterwards, the doctor decided to swing
