Speaker 1 (00:00):
It was Valentine's Day weekend in San Diego, California, February
of twenty nineteen. Heco Park, normally the home of the patters,
was packed wall to wall with couples for a sold
out landa Delray concert. The skies were clear, the breeze
was soft, and as the singer croomed about summertime sadness,
the kiss cam made its way around the jumbo tron,
(00:21):
catching couples in sweet, awkward and funny moments. But when
the camera stopped on one pair, the crowd gasped. The
man was married and not to the woman he was kissing.
In less than an hour, that kiss went viral. Two
days later, he was dead. Mark Boehmer was thirty four
years old when his life was cut short. He lived
alone in a stylish apartment near Balbo Park in San Diego, California.
(00:43):
His building was a popular spot for young professionals, with
views of the city in plenty of natural light. Mark
had two jobs. During the week he was a middle
school pe teacher at Roosevelt Middle School, where he taught
kids how to play sports and stay active. On the weekends,
he worked as a bartender at the Tipsy Goose, a
lively bar in the guest Lamp Quarter known for its
(01:05):
loud music, strong drinks, and bachelorette parties. Mark was originally
from Riverside. He moved to San Diego to attend San
Diego State University, where he earned a degree in kinesiology.
He stayed in the city after college and built a
life that was active, social, and full of charm. Friend
said he loved making people laugh, especially with corny dad jokes.
(01:27):
He drank kale smoothies in the morning, lifted weights in
the afternoon, and served cocktails by night. He drove a
used silver Jeep Wrangler, listened to podcasts like The Joe
Rogan Experience, and posted regular updates on Instagram with hashtags
like hashtag no aesof and hashtag weakened bibes. Mark met
his wife, Tanya Greeley, at a CrossFit retreat in Big
(01:49):
Bear Lake. She was a marketing consultant who shared his
love of fitness, though not always his care free attitude.
They dated for two years and got married in spring
twenty eighteen, but their marriage was rocky from the beginning.
During their honeymoon cruise in the Caribbean, Mark was caught
cheating with not one, but two other women. Tanya forgave
him at first, but things were never the same. In
(02:12):
the days before his death, Mark was still active online.
He posted jim Selfie's, promoted Valentine's cocktail specials at the
Tipsy Goose, and shared a photo of his new rose tattoo.
On Valentine's Day twenty nineteen, he went to the Lana
del Rey concert at Peco Park. It was a sold
out show and the crowd was full of couples. As
Lana sang her hit Summertime Sadness, the kiss cam zoomed
(02:35):
in on Mark and a woman beside him, Jasmine Cruz Moarrassegan.
Mark leaned in and kissed her deeply, not realizing the
whole stadium was watching. The footage hit Twitter within minutes
and spread across Instagram and Snapchat before the concert even ended.
For Tanya at home watching stories online, it was public humiliation.
Mark never publicly addressed the kisscam moment. He stayed silent
(02:59):
on social media, didn't return to the Tipsy Goose that weekend.
No one knew it would be the last time the
world saw him alive. It was Saturday morning, February sixteenth,
twenty nineteen. The sun was already shining and temperatures in
San Diego were in the low seventies. Around ten forty am,
Mark Boehmer's upstairs neighbor, Greg Hollister, grew concerned. Greg had
(03:20):
noticed the sound of running water from Mark's apartment for
over an hour. It wasn't normal. Mark usually left early
for work at the gym on weekends or to help
set up brunch shifts at the Tipsy Goose, But that
morning the apartment was quiet, too quiet, except for the
bathroom water that hadn't stopped. Gregg, a retired Navy veteran
who lived alone, knocked a few times at Mark's door,
(03:41):
no answer. He walked around the back of the building,
passing a row of potted succulents and the bike rack
Mark used. That's when he noticed the sliding patiodor was
slightly open. The curtain inside was moving from the breeze.
Greg stepped closer and called Mark's name again. Still no answer. Worried,
he carefully pushed the pack door opened and walked inside.
(04:02):
What Greg saw was shocking. Mark Boehmer was face down
in the middle of the living room. He was shirtless
and His body was lying on a pile of crushed
rose petals around him. Several candles were still burning. There
were dark stains on the rug and a sweet smell
in the air, like a mix of wax, chocolate, and
something metallic. Greg froze. It took him a moment to
(04:24):
realize Mark wasn't breathing. He backed out quickly, tripping over
a gym bag on the floor, and ran back upstairs
to his apartment. Once inside, he called nine to one
one and tried to stay calm while giving the dispatcher
of the address. When first responders arrived minutes later, they
found Greg sitting on the curb outside, shaking and holding
a water bottle. He kept saying something was wrong with Mark.
(04:46):
The police entered the apartment and quickly confirmed that Mark
was dead. Inside the apartment, officers noticed signs of what
looked like a romantic setup. There were rose paddles scattered
on the floor, tray with half melted chocolate covered strawberries,
and a bottle of Rosa wine tipped over near the
coffee table. The scene was both disturbing and strange. It
(05:08):
looked like someone had planned the special night, but something
had gone terribly wrong. Mark's phone was found face down
on the kitchen counter, still plugged into charge, his smart
watch was missing, and the television was left on paused
on a Netflix' menu. That morning, what seemed like just
another peaceful Saturday turned into the beginning of a brutal
murder investigation. San Diego police arrived at the scene within
(05:31):
eight minutes of the nine to one to one call
on the morning of February sixteen, twenty nineteen. Officers were
first to enter Mark Boehmer's apartment in the quiet neighborhood
near Balbo Park. Just moments later, two detectives from the
Homicide Division pulled up, Detective Naomi Silva and her partner,
Detective Chris Randall. Detective Silva, forty one, had been with
(05:52):
the department for over fifteen years. She was known for
her calm tone, strong instincts, and a sharp eye for detail.
She had won once been called America's Hottest detective in
a viral BuzzFeed article that featured her in mirrored aviators
and a navy blue blazer. Despite the attention, she preferred
to keep her head down and focus on the work.
(06:12):
Detective Randall, twenty nine, was not only her partner on
the force, but also her former steps in their unusual
dynamic often raised eyebrows, but they worked together like clockwork.
When the two entered the apartment, what they found was disturbing.
Mark Bohmer's body was face down in the living room,
lying in a pile of rose petals. He had no
shirt on, and blood had soaked through the carpet underneath him.
(06:36):
A serrated kitchen knife was sticking out of his side.
The detectives would later learn he had been stabbed thirty
seven times, mostly in the chest and stomach, but the
stabbing wasn't all. Mark's face had been beaten so badly
it was nearly unrecognizable. Detectives found a blood smeared Souvener
baseball bat, a Peco Park giveaway from the Padrus twenty
eighteen season, in a communal dumpster behind the building. Candlewhack
(07:00):
had hardened on his back, and a half eaten chocolate
covered strawberry was stuck in his throat. A tray of
other strawberries was found spill on the floor nearby, along
with a broken wineglass and a knocked over bottle of rosa.
The rooms smell like burnt sugar, wax and blood. The
TV screen showed a pause menu on Netflix, still glowing
(07:20):
silently in the background. It was clear someone had gone
through great effort to create a romantic set of before
turning the night into something violent and deadly. Crime scene
investigators arrived shortly after Silva and Randall. They wore gloves
and boot covers as they calmed through the room, collecting
fingerprints from the wine bottle, the knife handle, the glass tray,
(07:41):
and several doorknobs. Swaths were taken from the sink, and
blood samples were collected from three separate spots on the floor,
indicating Mark may have tried to move during the attack.
The building's security footage was pulled and neighbors were interviewed.
Several said they heard loud music the night before, but
no one reported hearing screens. Detective Randall noted that the
(08:01):
patio door had been left unlocked. Later, during a press conference,
a police spokesperson described the crime scene as a case
of Valentine's Day, crazy, bad belief, psycho. The brutality stunned
even veteran officers. It was clear this wasn't a random killing.
It was personal and full of rage. Tanya Boehmer, thirty
two years old, was the first person detectives looked into
(08:24):
after Mar's murder. She was Mark's wife and they had
been married for just nine months. Tanya worked as a
marketing consultant for a tech start up in downtown San Diego.
She was also known for her strict fitness routine. She
followed a Keto diet, prept all her meals for the
week on Sundays, and posted her morning workouts on Instagram
stories under the hanble at Tanya Jetsit. She was very
(08:46):
active at her CrossFit Jim near Mission Valley and had
once placed in a local fitness competition. Friends and coworkers
described her as serious, organized, and sometimes intense. Tanya had
a reputation for keeping close tabs on her life marks.
She used apples find my app to track where he was,
even during work hours. Her friend said she started doing
that after their honeymoon, when she caught Mark sleeping with
(09:09):
another woman on a cruise to Cabo San Lucas. Tanya
stayed with him, but many believed she never truly forgave him.
When the kiss cam footage aired during the Lin of
Delray concert at Peco Park on Valentine's Day. It hit
Tanya hard. She wasn't at the concert, she was at home, and,
like many others, saw the video go viral on Twitter
and Instagram. The video was shared by several major San
(09:32):
Diego influencers and even mentioned on local morning radio. The
next day, Tanya's world crashed in public. The morning after
Valentine's Day, Tyya showed up to her office wearing long
sleeves despite the warm weather. Her coworkers noticed her hands
were wrapped in bandages and said her voice was hoarse
and strained. One coworker later told police she looked like bleep.
(09:54):
Tanya didn't say much, and she left early that day.
Detectives Naomi Silva Chris Randall brought Tanya in for questioning
just hours after Mark's body was found. At first, Tanya
was quiet and seemed shocked. She cried when they told
her Mark had been stabbed and beaten, but as they
began asking more questions, she became defensive. She told them
(10:15):
she had been home alone all night, watching reality shows
on Hulu and drinking commonaltya, but when detectives checked her
phone data, it told a different story. Her iPhone's location
history showed She had left her apartment in Hilcrest just
before eight o'clock p m. On the night of the murder.
She arrived near Mark's place around eight thirty pm and
didn't return home until after midnight. Even more suspicious, her
(10:38):
smart watch hadn't sensed any activity during that window, which
was odd for someone who always tracked her movement and
heart rate. Detectives now had strong reason to believe Tanya
had lied. They believed her motive was simple public humiliation.
Mark had embarrassed her before, but this time the whole
city had seen it, and they suspected that rage may
have driven her to kill. Jasmine Cruz Morassegan was twenty
(11:02):
eight years old when she became one of the central
figures in the investigation into Mark Bohmer's death. Jasmine was
the woman caught kissing Mark on the kiss cam during
the Valentine's Day Lyona Dolray concert at Peco Park. The
video of their passionate kiss spread quickly across social media,
especially on Instagram and Twitter, where it was reshared by
San Diego influencers, concert goers, and even a local radio station.
(11:25):
The clip was shocking not just because of the kiss,
but because Mark was very publicly married to someone else.
Jasmine worked at the Tipsy Goose, the same busy Gaslent
Quarter pub where Mark bartended. On weekends. She was listed
as a bartender, but she also did private dancing on
the side, including at events and bachelor parties around San
Diego and Tijuana. Her lifestyle was fast paced. Jasmine often
(11:49):
stayed out late, posted provocative selfies on Snapchat, and used
TikTok to promote her bartending gigs. She lived in a
small studio apartment in North Park filled with led lights, mirrors,
and a growing collection of designer heels. Described by some
as energetic and flirty, Jasmine had a bold personality. She
was known to joke with customers and had a habit
(12:11):
of getting close to mail patrons to boosteps. While she
told police that her kiss with Mark on the JumboTron
was just a playful moment between friends, investigators quickly began
to doubt her story. Detective Silva and Randall requested a
search warrant for her phone, which revealed a different version
of events. Text messages showed Jasmine and Mark had been
romantically involved for at least four months. They often met
(12:33):
late at night after work, some times of his apartment,
other times at nearby motels off l Cajun Boulevard. There
were dozens of messages between them, including ones where Jasmine
expressed anger about being ignored or ghosted. One message, sent
just days before the concert said she would carve his
bleeping heart out if he kept blowing her off. There
were also several selfies of her inside Mark's apartment and
(12:56):
videos of her teasing him while he made drinks shirtless.
These digital records painted a picture of a hidden and
intense relationship that went far beyond just friendly fun. When
detectives brought Jasmin in for questioning, she was defensive at first,
but kept her cool. She insisted there was no affair
and that she hadn't seen Mark after the concert. However,
(13:16):
when investigators presented the text messages, Jasmine began to break down.
Her voice cracked and her hands trembled. She admitted they
had a complicated relationship, but still denied knowing anything about
his death. Though she was not arrested at that time,
Jasmine was now a serious suspect. The police believed she
had motive jealousy, rejection, and fear of being publicly humiliated
(13:39):
with Mark's secret life starting to come to light, the
investigators were beginning to see just how many people had
reasons to be angry. Sean Reid, aged thirty five, was
a firefighter with the San Diego Fire Department. He was
also Mark's childhood best friend and former college roommate. They
had met back in middle school and played Little Lead
together before attending UC Santa Barbara, where they lived in
(14:01):
the same dorm. What made things more complicated was that
Seawan had dated Tanya for seven years before introducing her
to Market at Patter's tailbate in twenty fifteen. Some friends
said he never really got over her. Sewan had been
at Peco Park the night of the Valentine's Day game
and was seen drinking Modelo beer with other firefighters in
section one hundred and eighteen. Witnesses said he looked tense
(14:23):
even before the now infamous kiss cam moment when Jasmine
and Mark appeared on the jumbo trunk kissing. Several people
said Sean walked off abruptly. By the seventh inning, he
had reportedly left the stadium completely. Sur Villan's footage from
outside Mark and Tanya's condo building on Market Street in
the East Village showed Sean walking back and forth near
the front entrance between ten fifteen and ten forty five
(14:46):
pm on the night of the murder. He appeared to
be alone and not wearing his uniform. Cameras caught him
glancing up at the windows multiple times and taking something
out of his coat pocket before putting it back. When
detectives Naomi Silva and Chris Randall brought Sean in for questioning,
he acted calm but kept his answers short. He denied
going into the building and said he only stopped by
(15:08):
to drop off something Mark had left in his truck
the week before. He claimed he didn't see Mark or
Tanga that night, but investigators had already discovered a deeper secret.
Sean was part of an illegal drug operation smuggling feninyl
across the border from Tijuana into California. Using burner phones
and a chain of middlemen, Shawn helped move fentanyl laced
pills from Beya, California, to local street dealers. A search
(15:31):
of his garage in Imperial Beach uncovered a duffel bag
with fifteen thousand dollars in cash, packaging materials, and a
map of US Highway one hundred and one marked with
coated drop points. Although the drug case was serious, it
wasn't yet clear if it had anything to do with
Mark's murder. However, what raised even more suspicion was that
several texts were recovered from Tanga's phone in which Sean
(15:54):
warned her that Mark was disrespecting everyone who cared about him.
Investigators believed Shawn may have felt personally betrayed not only
by Mark's treatment of Tania, but also by Mark's knowledge
of Sean's trafficking ring. They began to wonder if Mark
had threatened to expose Sean or if something more emotional
had pushed Shron over the edge. While Shawn never confessed,
(16:15):
police couldn't rule him out. His close history with both
Mark and Tanya, along with his secret criminal activities and
strange behavior that night, made him one of the key
suspects in the case. On the night of February twenty two,
twenty nineteen, at around seven forty five pm, San Diego
police arrested thirty four year old Tanya Boehmer while she
(16:35):
was leaving a yoga class in Lojalla. Tanya, a lifestyle
influencer with over eighteen thousand followers on Instagram at the time,
had spent the week posting inspirational quotes and smoothie recipes,
but behind the perfect pictures, detectives believed she was hiding
a dark secret. Earlier that same day, detectives received a
full confession from Jasmine kruz Moarassegan, the woman caught kissing
(16:59):
Mark on the Pecko Park kiss cam. Jasmine had admitted
to a long running affair with Mark and revealed details
about Tanya's emotional state in the days after Valentine's Day.
According to investigators, Jasmine's statement matched up with forensic evidence
from the apartment and cell phone data that placed Tanya
at the scene. When police confronted Tanya with this information,
(17:19):
her calm attitude quickly shifted. Inside the interrogation room, she
initially stuck to her story, denying any role in Mark's death.
She claimed she had last seen him briefly on Valentine's
Day before heading to a friend's house, But when officers
laid out the evidence, including texts showing Tanya had been
tracking Mark's location using his iPhone shared location setting, she
(17:41):
started to crack. Tanya had set up a romantic Valentine's
night in the apartment, rose pedals were sprinkled across the bed,
Candles were lit in every corner of the room, and
chocolate covered strawberries were left in the fridge from Trader Joe's.
But what was supposed to be a loving evening turned
deadly when Tanya confronted Mark about the kisscam incident, He
(18:01):
allegedly laughed it off, calling at a joke. That's when
she lost control. Police say she grabbed the kitchen knife
and began stabbing Mark minus thirty seven times in total.
Then she beat him in the face with a mini
Souvener baseball bat, one Mark had gotten at a Padra's
gang years earlier. That bat was later found in the
building's dumpster, still covered in blood. Crime scene texts also
(18:23):
discovered wax from a scented candle on Mark's back and
half eaten strawberry lodged in his throat. It was clear
the murder took place during what had started as a
romantic said police believed Tanya had been drinking heavily that night.
An autopsy showed four empty bottles of Kittlewe vodka near
the body. During her arrest, Tana told officers that she
(18:44):
never meant for things to go so far. She told police,
I just wanted one bleeping holiday where he didn't make
me feel so bleeping and visible. Ere Mine Valentine's Day
was supposed to be her moment, but it turned into
a deadly night filled with jealousy, alcohol, and On the
morning of March two, twenty nineteen, police received a break
(19:05):
in the case when they reviewed more surveillance footage from
Mark Bohmer's upscale apartment building in the guess Lank Quarter.
The footage, pulled from security cameras outside and in the lobby,
added a shocking new layer to the investigation. While Tanya
Bohmer had already confessed to killing Mark on Valentine's Day,
the new video showed she hadn't been the only person
at the scene that night. The security footage captured Jasmine
(19:28):
kruz Moarrassegan entering Mark's building just six minutes after Tanya.
Jasmine twenty eight was already on the radar after appearing
on the kiss Can with Mark during the Padras spring
training game in Peoria earlier that week. She worked as
of our tender at Whiskey Girl and danced part time
at Deja Vu Showgirls in downtown San Diego. Jasmine was
(19:49):
known for her fiery temper and dramatic lifestyle. She told
friends she planned to surprise Mark with a gift that night,
rumored to be a vintage Padras jersey and a box
of chocolate covered strawberries. However, Jasmine walked into a nightmare.
According to police, she arrived to find Tanya already in
the middle of a violent attack. Shocked and terrified, Jasmine froze.
(20:10):
In a later statement, she admitted she didn't try to
stop the murder. Instead, she grabbed a kitchen towel from
the counter and helped wipe down surfaces. Cameras caught her
leaving just ten minutes after she arrived, holding what looked
like the same blood stained towel. She left through the
side exit and didn't call nine one one. When confronted
with the footage in evidence, Jasmine at first denied everything,
(20:32):
but once police showed her the timestamp footage, she broke down.
She claimed she had only helped out of fear and panic,
not wanting to get blamed for something she didn't start.
Despite not participating in the actual killing, her decision to
help clean up and flee the scene, led police to
charge her with being an accessory after the fact. Tanya
meanwhile remained in custody and was officially charged with first
(20:54):
degree murder. Legal experts told local news outlets like NBC
seven San Diego that this kind of twist was rare
but not unheard of. In many cases, people who assist
after a murder, whether out of fear, love, or confusion,
still faced serious legal consequences. Tanya and Jasmine were housed
in separate units at the Lascolina's Detention Fa Sylvian Santee
(21:16):
while they awaited trial. The Valentine's Day murder had already
shocked San Diego. Now with this unexpected development, the case
took on a new and disturbing dimension, one that mixed jealousy, love,
and betrayal in ways that even seasoned detectives found hard
to understand. The trial for the murder of Mark Bowman
began in early March twenty twenty two at the San
(21:37):
Diego Superior Court. The court room was packed each day
with reporters, to family members and curious onlookers. Tanya Boehmer,
thirty three, stood trial for first degree murder. She was
accused of stabbing Marked to death on Valentine's Day twenty
nineteen in his downtown apartment after discovering he had been
cheating on her. Jasmine Kruzmarrassegan. The lead prosecutor was Michael Luxton,
(22:00):
a forty five year old well known trial attorney in
San Diego County. Luxton had handled several high profile cases,
including a twenty twenty gang shooting near SDSU. In his
opening statement, he described Tanya as jealous, manipulative, and fully
aware of what she was doing. He showed the jury
photos of the crime scene, security footage of Tanya entering
(22:20):
Mars building, and text messages Tanya had sent to Mark
in the days leading up to the murder. Luxton said
the killing was planned and personal, pointing to how Tanya
brought a knife from home and waited for Mark to
be alone. Tanya's defense attorney, Public Defender Leslie Krantz thirty nine,
took a very different approach. She argued that Tanya was
(22:41):
not in her right mind when the stabbing happened. Krantz
described Tanya's mental health struggles, which included anxiety and depression.
She said Tanya had suffered emotional trauma after losing her
job at La Jalla boutique and finding out Mark had
been secretly dating Jasmine. Krantz's team brought in a psychologist
who testified that Tanya experienced a mental breakdown that night.
(23:02):
One of the most dramatic moments of the trial came
when Jasmine Cruz Moressegan took the stand. Now thirty one,
she had agreed to testify for the prosecution in exchange
for a reduced sentence. Dressed in a simple blouse and slacks,
Jasmine told the jury what she saw when she walked
in on the crime scene. She admitted to helping Tanya
clean up afterward, and confirmed that Mark was already bleeding
(23:24):
on the floor when she arrived. On March twenty two,
twenty twenty two, after four days of deliberation, the jury
found Tanya Bohmer guilty of first degree murder. The judge
sentenced her to thirty four years to life in prison.
Tanya showed no emotion when the verdict was read. She
was immediately transferred to the California Institution for Women in Chuno.
(23:45):
Jasmine was sentenced the next day. Because she cooperated with
police and testified during the trial, she received a lighter
sentence two years in prison for being an accessory after
the fact. She served her time at the Central California
Women's Facility in Chaucilla, and became eligible for parole in
twenty twenty three. Mark's family, still grieving, said that no
(24:06):
sentence could bring him back. They told reporters that they
hoped Tanya and Jasmine would one day understand the full
weight of what they had done for them. The trial's
end was injustice. It was just another chapter in a
painful story. After the high profile murder trial ended in
March twenty twenty two, life moved forward, but not without consequences.
Tanya Boehmer, now thirty eight, is serving her sentence at
(24:29):
the Central California Women's Facility in Choucilla, the largest women's
prison in the United States. The prison, located about forty
miles north of Fresno, houses women with long term sentences.
Tanya is reportedly participating in group therapy programs and working
in the prison's vocational sewing unit. She has no chance
of parole for several decades. Jasmine Cruz Moarrassegan, who was
(24:51):
convicted of being an accessory after the fact, was released
from the San Diego County jail in late twenty twenty one,
after serving about twenty months buying bars. Shortly after her release,
Jasmine changed her name and relocated to Nevada, where she
now works in customer service for a hotel chain in Reno.
Friends say she keeps a low profile and avoids talking
about the past. Her social media accounts have all been deleted. Meanwhile,
(25:15):
Sean Reid, a figure who briefly dated both women before
returning to his criminal lifestyle, was arrested in September twenty
twenty two on drug trafficking charges in Los Angeles. According
to federal court records, he was caught with over three
pounds of methamphetamine and illegal firearms. He is now serving
a fourteen year sentence at FCI Victorville Medium Eye, a
(25:36):
federal prison in San Bernardino County. Detective Sandra Silva, who
led the investigation into Marx murder, was recognized for her
work in late twenty twenty two. She received the San
Diego Police Department's Medal of Valor and was promoted to
the rank of lieutenant. Silva now leads a cold case
unit focusing on unsolved crimes dating back to the early
two thousands. Her role in solving Mark's case was featured
(26:00):
in a segment on Digline NBC that aired in April
twenty twenty two. As for the family left behind, Mark
Bohmer's parents sold their home in Logoult and moved to
Oregon in twenty twenty three, hoping for a fresh start.
They now live near Eugene, where they've become active in
local grief support groups. Mark's younger brother, Eric Boehmer, has
(26:20):
become a speaker on relationship violence and emotional abuse. He
has given talks at high schools across southern California, often
referencing the tragic case of his brother. In March twenty
twenty two, he spoke at a youth mental health summit
sponsored by the California Wellness Foundation. Mark's apartment where the
murder occurred, was renovated and re rented in mid twenty
(26:40):
twenty one. Although the building no longer looks the same,
neighbors say the memory of what happened still lingers. What
started as a light hearted moment on a kiss cam
turned into a public spectacle and then a horrifying murder.
It's a reminder that even the most picture perfect holiday
can high dangerous truths. On that Valentine's Day weekend in
twenty nine nineteen, love didn't just turn sore. It turned deadly.
It was Valentine's Day weekend in San Diego, California, February
of twenty nineteen. Heco Park, normally the home of the patters,
was packed wall to wall with couples for a sold
out landa Delray concert. The skies were clear, the breeze
was soft, and as the singer croomed about summertime sadness,
the kiss cam made its way around the jumbo tron,
(00:21):
catching couples in sweet, awkward and funny moments. But when
the camera stopped on one pair, the crowd gasped. The
man was married and not to the woman he was kissing.
In less than an hour, that kiss went viral. Two
days later, he was dead. Mark Boehmer was thirty four
years old when his life was cut short. He lived
alone in a stylish apartment near Balbo Park in San Diego, California.
(00:43):
His building was a popular spot for young professionals, with
views of the city in plenty of natural light. Mark
had two jobs. During the week he was a middle
school pe teacher at Roosevelt Middle School, where he taught
kids how to play sports and stay active. On the weekends,
he worked as a bartender at the Tipsy Goose, a
lively bar in the guest Lamp Quarter known for its
(01:05):
loud music, strong drinks, and bachelorette parties. Mark was originally
from Riverside. He moved to San Diego to attend San
Diego State University, where he earned a degree in kinesiology.
He stayed in the city after college and built a
life that was active, social, and full of charm. Friend
said he loved making people laugh, especially with corny dad jokes.
(01:27):
He drank kale smoothies in the morning, lifted weights in
the afternoon, and served cocktails by night. He drove a
used silver Jeep Wrangler, listened to podcasts like The Joe
Rogan Experience, and posted regular updates on Instagram with hashtags
like hashtag no aesof and hashtag weakened bibes. Mark met
his wife, Tanya Greeley, at a CrossFit retreat in Big
(01:49):
Bear Lake. She was a marketing consultant who shared his
love of fitness, though not always his care free attitude.
They dated for two years and got married in spring
twenty eighteen, but their marriage was rocky from the beginning.
During their honeymoon cruise in the Caribbean, Mark was caught
cheating with not one, but two other women. Tanya forgave
him at first, but things were never the same. In
(02:12):
the days before his death, Mark was still active online.
He posted jim Selfie's, promoted Valentine's cocktail specials at the
Tipsy Goose, and shared a photo of his new rose tattoo.
On Valentine's Day twenty nineteen, he went to the Lana
del Rey concert at Peco Park. It was a sold
out show and the crowd was full of couples. As
Lana sang her hit Summertime Sadness, the kiss cam zoomed
(02:35):
in on Mark and a woman beside him, Jasmine Cruz Moarrassegan.
Mark leaned in and kissed her deeply, not realizing the
whole stadium was watching. The footage hit Twitter within minutes
and spread across Instagram and Snapchat before the concert even ended.
For Tanya at home watching stories online, it was public humiliation.
Mark never publicly addressed the kisscam moment. He stayed silent
(02:59):
on social media, didn't return to the Tipsy Goose that weekend.
No one knew it would be the last time the
world saw him alive. It was Saturday morning, February sixteenth,
twenty nineteen. The sun was already shining and temperatures in
San Diego were in the low seventies. Around ten forty am,
Mark Boehmer's upstairs neighbor, Greg Hollister, grew concerned. Greg had
(03:20):
noticed the sound of running water from Mark's apartment for
over an hour. It wasn't normal. Mark usually left early
for work at the gym on weekends or to help
set up brunch shifts at the Tipsy Goose, But that
morning the apartment was quiet, too quiet, except for the
bathroom water that hadn't stopped. Gregg, a retired Navy veteran
who lived alone, knocked a few times at Mark's door,
(03:41):
no answer. He walked around the back of the building,
passing a row of potted succulents and the bike rack
Mark used. That's when he noticed the sliding patiodor was
slightly open. The curtain inside was moving from the breeze.
Greg stepped closer and called Mark's name again. Still no answer. Worried,
he carefully pushed the pack door opened and walked inside.
(04:02):
What Greg saw was shocking. Mark Boehmer was face down
in the middle of the living room. He was shirtless
and His body was lying on a pile of crushed
rose petals around him. Several candles were still burning. There
were dark stains on the rug and a sweet smell
in the air, like a mix of wax, chocolate, and
something metallic. Greg froze. It took him a moment to
(04:24):
realize Mark wasn't breathing. He backed out quickly, tripping over
a gym bag on the floor, and ran back upstairs
to his apartment. Once inside, he called nine to one
one and tried to stay calm while giving the dispatcher
of the address. When first responders arrived minutes later, they
found Greg sitting on the curb outside, shaking and holding
a water bottle. He kept saying something was wrong with Mark.
(04:46):
The police entered the apartment and quickly confirmed that Mark
was dead. Inside the apartment, officers noticed signs of what
looked like a romantic setup. There were rose paddles scattered
on the floor, tray with half melted chocolate covered strawberries,
and a bottle of Rosa wine tipped over near the
coffee table. The scene was both disturbing and strange. It
(05:08):
looked like someone had planned the special night, but something
had gone terribly wrong. Mark's phone was found face down
on the kitchen counter, still plugged into charge, his smart
watch was missing, and the television was left on paused
on a Netflix' menu. That morning, what seemed like just
another peaceful Saturday turned into the beginning of a brutal
murder investigation. San Diego police arrived at the scene within
(05:31):
eight minutes of the nine to one to one call
on the morning of February sixteen, twenty nineteen. Officers were
first to enter Mark Boehmer's apartment in the quiet neighborhood
near Balbo Park. Just moments later, two detectives from the
Homicide Division pulled up, Detective Naomi Silva and her partner,
Detective Chris Randall. Detective Silva, forty one, had been with
(05:52):
the department for over fifteen years. She was known for
her calm tone, strong instincts, and a sharp eye for detail.
She had won once been called America's Hottest detective in
a viral BuzzFeed article that featured her in mirrored aviators
and a navy blue blazer. Despite the attention, she preferred
to keep her head down and focus on the work.
(06:12):
Detective Randall, twenty nine, was not only her partner on
the force, but also her former steps in their unusual
dynamic often raised eyebrows, but they worked together like clockwork.
When the two entered the apartment, what they found was disturbing.
Mark Bohmer's body was face down in the living room,
lying in a pile of rose petals. He had no
shirt on, and blood had soaked through the carpet underneath him.
(06:36):
A serrated kitchen knife was sticking out of his side.
The detectives would later learn he had been stabbed thirty
seven times, mostly in the chest and stomach, but the
stabbing wasn't all. Mark's face had been beaten so badly
it was nearly unrecognizable. Detectives found a blood smeared Souvener
baseball bat, a Peco Park giveaway from the Padrus twenty
eighteen season, in a communal dumpster behind the building. Candlewhack
(07:00):
had hardened on his back, and a half eaten chocolate
covered strawberry was stuck in his throat. A tray of
other strawberries was found spill on the floor nearby, along
with a broken wineglass and a knocked over bottle of rosa.
The rooms smell like burnt sugar, wax and blood. The
TV screen showed a pause menu on Netflix, still glowing
(07:20):
silently in the background. It was clear someone had gone
through great effort to create a romantic set of before
turning the night into something violent and deadly. Crime scene
investigators arrived shortly after Silva and Randall. They wore gloves
and boot covers as they calmed through the room, collecting
fingerprints from the wine bottle, the knife handle, the glass tray,
(07:41):
and several doorknobs. Swaths were taken from the sink, and
blood samples were collected from three separate spots on the floor,
indicating Mark may have tried to move during the attack.
The building's security footage was pulled and neighbors were interviewed.
Several said they heard loud music the night before, but
no one reported hearing screens. Detective Randall noted that the
(08:01):
patio door had been left unlocked. Later, during a press conference,
a police spokesperson described the crime scene as a case
of Valentine's Day, crazy, bad belief, psycho. The brutality stunned
even veteran officers. It was clear this wasn't a random killing.
It was personal and full of rage. Tanya Boehmer, thirty
two years old, was the first person detectives looked into
(08:24):
after Mar's murder. She was Mark's wife and they had
been married for just nine months. Tanya worked as a
marketing consultant for a tech start up in downtown San Diego.
She was also known for her strict fitness routine. She
followed a Keto diet, prept all her meals for the
week on Sundays, and posted her morning workouts on Instagram
stories under the hanble at Tanya Jetsit. She was very
(08:46):
active at her CrossFit Jim near Mission Valley and had
once placed in a local fitness competition. Friends and coworkers
described her as serious, organized, and sometimes intense. Tanya had
a reputation for keeping close tabs on her life marks.
She used apples find my app to track where he was,
even during work hours. Her friend said she started doing
that after their honeymoon, when she caught Mark sleeping with
(09:09):
another woman on a cruise to Cabo San Lucas. Tanya
stayed with him, but many believed she never truly forgave him.
When the kiss cam footage aired during the Lin of
Delray concert at Peco Park on Valentine's Day. It hit
Tanya hard. She wasn't at the concert, she was at home, and,
like many others, saw the video go viral on Twitter
and Instagram. The video was shared by several major San
(09:32):
Diego influencers and even mentioned on local morning radio. The
next day, Tanya's world crashed in public. The morning after
Valentine's Day, Tyya showed up to her office wearing long
sleeves despite the warm weather. Her coworkers noticed her hands
were wrapped in bandages and said her voice was hoarse
and strained. One coworker later told police she looked like bleep.
(09:54):
Tanya didn't say much, and she left early that day.
Detectives Naomi Silva Chris Randall brought Tanya in for questioning
just hours after Mark's body was found. At first, Tanya
was quiet and seemed shocked. She cried when they told
her Mark had been stabbed and beaten, but as they
began asking more questions, she became defensive. She told them
(10:15):
she had been home alone all night, watching reality shows
on Hulu and drinking commonaltya, but when detectives checked her
phone data, it told a different story. Her iPhone's location
history showed She had left her apartment in Hilcrest just
before eight o'clock p m. On the night of the murder.
She arrived near Mark's place around eight thirty pm and
didn't return home until after midnight. Even more suspicious, her
(10:38):
smart watch hadn't sensed any activity during that window, which
was odd for someone who always tracked her movement and
heart rate. Detectives now had strong reason to believe Tanya
had lied. They believed her motive was simple public humiliation.
Mark had embarrassed her before, but this time the whole
city had seen it, and they suspected that rage may
have driven her to kill. Jasmine Cruz Morassegan was twenty
(11:02):
eight years old when she became one of the central
figures in the investigation into Mark Bohmer's death. Jasmine was
the woman caught kissing Mark on the kiss cam during
the Valentine's Day Lyona Dolray concert at Peco Park. The
video of their passionate kiss spread quickly across social media,
especially on Instagram and Twitter, where it was reshared by
San Diego influencers, concert goers, and even a local radio station.
(11:25):
The clip was shocking not just because of the kiss,
but because Mark was very publicly married to someone else.
Jasmine worked at the Tipsy Goose, the same busy Gaslent
Quarter pub where Mark bartended. On weekends. She was listed
as a bartender, but she also did private dancing on
the side, including at events and bachelor parties around San
Diego and Tijuana. Her lifestyle was fast paced. Jasmine often
(11:49):
stayed out late, posted provocative selfies on Snapchat, and used
TikTok to promote her bartending gigs. She lived in a
small studio apartment in North Park filled with led lights, mirrors,
and a growing collection of designer heels. Described by some
as energetic and flirty, Jasmine had a bold personality. She
was known to joke with customers and had a habit
(12:11):
of getting close to mail patrons to boosteps. While she
told police that her kiss with Mark on the JumboTron
was just a playful moment between friends, investigators quickly began
to doubt her story. Detective Silva and Randall requested a
search warrant for her phone, which revealed a different version
of events. Text messages showed Jasmine and Mark had been
romantically involved for at least four months. They often met
(12:33):
late at night after work, some times of his apartment,
other times at nearby motels off l Cajun Boulevard. There
were dozens of messages between them, including ones where Jasmine
expressed anger about being ignored or ghosted. One message, sent
just days before the concert said she would carve his
bleeping heart out if he kept blowing her off. There
were also several selfies of her inside Mark's apartment and
(12:56):
videos of her teasing him while he made drinks shirtless.
These digital records painted a picture of a hidden and
intense relationship that went far beyond just friendly fun. When
detectives brought Jasmin in for questioning, she was defensive at first,
but kept her cool. She insisted there was no affair
and that she hadn't seen Mark after the concert. However,
(13:16):
when investigators presented the text messages, Jasmine began to break down.
Her voice cracked and her hands trembled. She admitted they
had a complicated relationship, but still denied knowing anything about
his death. Though she was not arrested at that time,
Jasmine was now a serious suspect. The police believed she
had motive jealousy, rejection, and fear of being publicly humiliated
(13:39):
with Mark's secret life starting to come to light, the
investigators were beginning to see just how many people had
reasons to be angry. Sean Reid, aged thirty five, was
a firefighter with the San Diego Fire Department. He was
also Mark's childhood best friend and former college roommate. They
had met back in middle school and played Little Lead
together before attending UC Santa Barbara, where they lived in
(14:01):
the same dorm. What made things more complicated was that
Seawan had dated Tanya for seven years before introducing her
to Market at Patter's tailbate in twenty fifteen. Some friends
said he never really got over her. Sewan had been
at Peco Park the night of the Valentine's Day game
and was seen drinking Modelo beer with other firefighters in
section one hundred and eighteen. Witnesses said he looked tense
(14:23):
even before the now infamous kiss cam moment when Jasmine
and Mark appeared on the jumbo trunk kissing. Several people
said Sean walked off abruptly. By the seventh inning, he
had reportedly left the stadium completely. Sur Villan's footage from
outside Mark and Tanya's condo building on Market Street in
the East Village showed Sean walking back and forth near
the front entrance between ten fifteen and ten forty five
(14:46):
pm on the night of the murder. He appeared to
be alone and not wearing his uniform. Cameras caught him
glancing up at the windows multiple times and taking something
out of his coat pocket before putting it back. When
detectives Naomi Silva and Chris Randall brought Sean in for questioning,
he acted calm but kept his answers short. He denied
going into the building and said he only stopped by
(15:08):
to drop off something Mark had left in his truck
the week before. He claimed he didn't see Mark or
Tanga that night, but investigators had already discovered a deeper secret.
Sean was part of an illegal drug operation smuggling feninyl
across the border from Tijuana into California. Using burner phones
and a chain of middlemen, Shawn helped move fentanyl laced
pills from Beya, California, to local street dealers. A search
(15:31):
of his garage in Imperial Beach uncovered a duffel bag
with fifteen thousand dollars in cash, packaging materials, and a
map of US Highway one hundred and one marked with
coated drop points. Although the drug case was serious, it
wasn't yet clear if it had anything to do with
Mark's murder. However, what raised even more suspicion was that
several texts were recovered from Tanga's phone in which Sean
(15:54):
warned her that Mark was disrespecting everyone who cared about him.
Investigators believed Shawn may have felt personally betrayed not only
by Mark's treatment of Tania, but also by Mark's knowledge
of Sean's trafficking ring. They began to wonder if Mark
had threatened to expose Sean or if something more emotional
had pushed Shron over the edge. While Shawn never confessed,
(16:15):
police couldn't rule him out. His close history with both
Mark and Tanya, along with his secret criminal activities and
strange behavior that night, made him one of the key
suspects in the case. On the night of February twenty two,
twenty nineteen, at around seven forty five pm, San Diego
police arrested thirty four year old Tanya Boehmer while she
(16:35):
was leaving a yoga class in Lojalla. Tanya, a lifestyle
influencer with over eighteen thousand followers on Instagram at the time,
had spent the week posting inspirational quotes and smoothie recipes,
but behind the perfect pictures, detectives believed she was hiding
a dark secret. Earlier that same day, detectives received a
full confession from Jasmine kruz Moarassegan, the woman caught kissing
(16:59):
Mark on the Pecko Park kiss cam. Jasmine had admitted
to a long running affair with Mark and revealed details
about Tanya's emotional state in the days after Valentine's Day.
According to investigators, Jasmine's statement matched up with forensic evidence
from the apartment and cell phone data that placed Tanya
at the scene. When police confronted Tanya with this information,
(17:19):
her calm attitude quickly shifted. Inside the interrogation room, she
initially stuck to her story, denying any role in Mark's death.
She claimed she had last seen him briefly on Valentine's
Day before heading to a friend's house, But when officers
laid out the evidence, including texts showing Tanya had been
tracking Mark's location using his iPhone shared location setting, she
(17:41):
started to crack. Tanya had set up a romantic Valentine's
night in the apartment, rose pedals were sprinkled across the bed,
Candles were lit in every corner of the room, and
chocolate covered strawberries were left in the fridge from Trader Joe's.
But what was supposed to be a loving evening turned
deadly when Tanya confronted Mark about the kisscam incident, He
(18:01):
allegedly laughed it off, calling at a joke. That's when
she lost control. Police say she grabbed the kitchen knife
and began stabbing Mark minus thirty seven times in total.
Then she beat him in the face with a mini
Souvener baseball bat, one Mark had gotten at a Padra's
gang years earlier. That bat was later found in the
building's dumpster, still covered in blood. Crime scene texts also
(18:23):
discovered wax from a scented candle on Mark's back and
half eaten strawberry lodged in his throat. It was clear
the murder took place during what had started as a
romantic said police believed Tanya had been drinking heavily that night.
An autopsy showed four empty bottles of Kittlewe vodka near
the body. During her arrest, Tana told officers that she
(18:44):
never meant for things to go so far. She told police,
I just wanted one bleeping holiday where he didn't make
me feel so bleeping and visible. Ere Mine Valentine's Day
was supposed to be her moment, but it turned into
a deadly night filled with jealousy, alcohol, and On the
morning of March two, twenty nineteen, police received a break
(19:05):
in the case when they reviewed more surveillance footage from
Mark Bohmer's upscale apartment building in the guess Lank Quarter.
The footage, pulled from security cameras outside and in the lobby,
added a shocking new layer to the investigation. While Tanya
Bohmer had already confessed to killing Mark on Valentine's Day,
the new video showed she hadn't been the only person
at the scene that night. The security footage captured Jasmine
(19:28):
kruz Moarrassegan entering Mark's building just six minutes after Tanya.
Jasmine twenty eight was already on the radar after appearing
on the kiss Can with Mark during the Padras spring
training game in Peoria earlier that week. She worked as
of our tender at Whiskey Girl and danced part time
at Deja Vu Showgirls in downtown San Diego. Jasmine was
(19:49):
known for her fiery temper and dramatic lifestyle. She told
friends she planned to surprise Mark with a gift that night,
rumored to be a vintage Padras jersey and a box
of chocolate covered strawberries. However, Jasmine walked into a nightmare.
According to police, she arrived to find Tanya already in
the middle of a violent attack. Shocked and terrified, Jasmine froze.
(20:10):
In a later statement, she admitted she didn't try to
stop the murder. Instead, she grabbed a kitchen towel from
the counter and helped wipe down surfaces. Cameras caught her
leaving just ten minutes after she arrived, holding what looked
like the same blood stained towel. She left through the
side exit and didn't call nine one one. When confronted
with the footage in evidence, Jasmine at first denied everything,
(20:32):
but once police showed her the timestamp footage, she broke down.
She claimed she had only helped out of fear and panic,
not wanting to get blamed for something she didn't start.
Despite not participating in the actual killing, her decision to
help clean up and flee the scene, led police to
charge her with being an accessory after the fact. Tanya
meanwhile remained in custody and was officially charged with first
(20:54):
degree murder. Legal experts told local news outlets like NBC
seven San Diego that this kind of twist was rare
but not unheard of. In many cases, people who assist
after a murder, whether out of fear, love, or confusion,
still faced serious legal consequences. Tanya and Jasmine were housed
in separate units at the Lascolina's Detention Fa Sylvian Santee
(21:16):
while they awaited trial. The Valentine's Day murder had already
shocked San Diego. Now with this unexpected development, the case
took on a new and disturbing dimension, one that mixed jealousy, love,
and betrayal in ways that even seasoned detectives found hard
to understand. The trial for the murder of Mark Bowman
began in early March twenty twenty two at the San
(21:37):
Diego Superior Court. The court room was packed each day
with reporters, to family members and curious onlookers. Tanya Boehmer,
thirty three, stood trial for first degree murder. She was
accused of stabbing Marked to death on Valentine's Day twenty
nineteen in his downtown apartment after discovering he had been
cheating on her. Jasmine Kruzmarrassegan. The lead prosecutor was Michael Luxton,
(22:00):
a forty five year old well known trial attorney in
San Diego County. Luxton had handled several high profile cases,
including a twenty twenty gang shooting near SDSU. In his
opening statement, he described Tanya as jealous, manipulative, and fully
aware of what she was doing. He showed the jury
photos of the crime scene, security footage of Tanya entering
(22:20):
Mars building, and text messages Tanya had sent to Mark
in the days leading up to the murder. Luxton said
the killing was planned and personal, pointing to how Tanya
brought a knife from home and waited for Mark to
be alone. Tanya's defense attorney, Public Defender Leslie Krantz thirty nine,
took a very different approach. She argued that Tanya was
(22:41):
not in her right mind when the stabbing happened. Krantz
described Tanya's mental health struggles, which included anxiety and depression.
She said Tanya had suffered emotional trauma after losing her
job at La Jalla boutique and finding out Mark had
been secretly dating Jasmine. Krantz's team brought in a psychologist
who testified that Tanya experienced a mental breakdown that night.
(23:02):
One of the most dramatic moments of the trial came
when Jasmine Cruz Moressegan took the stand. Now thirty one,
she had agreed to testify for the prosecution in exchange
for a reduced sentence. Dressed in a simple blouse and slacks,
Jasmine told the jury what she saw when she walked
in on the crime scene. She admitted to helping Tanya
clean up afterward, and confirmed that Mark was already bleeding
(23:24):
on the floor when she arrived. On March twenty two,
twenty twenty two, after four days of deliberation, the jury
found Tanya Bohmer guilty of first degree murder. The judge
sentenced her to thirty four years to life in prison.
Tanya showed no emotion when the verdict was read. She
was immediately transferred to the California Institution for Women in Chuno.
(23:45):
Jasmine was sentenced the next day. Because she cooperated with
police and testified during the trial, she received a lighter
sentence two years in prison for being an accessory after
the fact. She served her time at the Central California
Women's Facility in Chaucilla, and became eligible for parole in
twenty twenty three. Mark's family, still grieving, said that no
(24:06):
sentence could bring him back. They told reporters that they
hoped Tanya and Jasmine would one day understand the full
weight of what they had done for them. The trial's
end was injustice. It was just another chapter in a
painful story. After the high profile murder trial ended in
March twenty twenty two, life moved forward, but not without consequences.
Tanya Boehmer, now thirty eight, is serving her sentence at
(24:29):
the Central California Women's Facility in Choucilla, the largest women's
prison in the United States. The prison, located about forty
miles north of Fresno, houses women with long term sentences.
Tanya is reportedly participating in group therapy programs and working
in the prison's vocational sewing unit. She has no chance
of parole for several decades. Jasmine Cruz Moarrassegan, who was
(24:51):
convicted of being an accessory after the fact, was released
from the San Diego County jail in late twenty twenty one,
after serving about twenty months buying bars. Shortly after her release,
Jasmine changed her name and relocated to Nevada, where she
now works in customer service for a hotel chain in Reno.
Friends say she keeps a low profile and avoids talking
about the past. Her social media accounts have all been deleted. Meanwhile,
(25:15):
Sean Reid, a figure who briefly dated both women before
returning to his criminal lifestyle, was arrested in September twenty
twenty two on drug trafficking charges in Los Angeles. According
to federal court records, he was caught with over three
pounds of methamphetamine and illegal firearms. He is now serving
a fourteen year sentence at FCI Victorville Medium Eye, a
(25:36):
federal prison in San Bernardino County. Detective Sandra Silva, who
led the investigation into Marx murder, was recognized for her
work in late twenty twenty two. She received the San
Diego Police Department's Medal of Valor and was promoted to
the rank of lieutenant. Silva now leads a cold case
unit focusing on unsolved crimes dating back to the early
two thousands. Her role in solving Mark's case was featured
(26:00):
in a segment on Digline NBC that aired in April
twenty twenty two. As for the family left behind, Mark
Bohmer's parents sold their home in Logoult and moved to
Oregon in twenty twenty three, hoping for a fresh start.
They now live near Eugene, where they've become active in
local grief support groups. Mark's younger brother, Eric Boehmer, has
(26:20):
become a speaker on relationship violence and emotional abuse. He
has given talks at high schools across southern California, often
referencing the tragic case of his brother. In March twenty
twenty two, he spoke at a youth mental health summit
sponsored by the California Wellness Foundation. Mark's apartment where the
murder occurred, was renovated and re rented in mid twenty
(26:40):
twenty one. Although the building no longer looks the same,
neighbors say the memory of what happened still lingers. What
started as a light hearted moment on a kiss cam
turned into a public spectacle and then a horrifying murder.
It's a reminder that even the most picture perfect holiday
can high dangerous truths. On that Valentine's Day weekend in
twenty nine nineteen, love didn't just turn sore. It turned deadly.
