All right, Jessie, the story last week was one of the more infuriating we've had recently.

What do you have for me this week? A peaceful Halloween night in Napa Valley

turns into a real-life slasher flick when a murderer breaks into a home and stabs two out of three

of the promising young women inside. I'm Andy Cassette, and I'm Jessie Prey, and this is Love Murder.
