In June 2008, the brutal murder of Travis Alexander shocked the quiet suburb of Mesa, Arizona. Stabbed nearly 30 times, his throat slit from ear to ear, and a gunshot wound to the head: this was no ordinary crime of passion. At the centre of the storm? Jodi Arias, his ex-girlfriend, a woman whose obsession blurred the lines between love and lethal intent.
What followed was a case that captivated the world: a tangled web of lies, shifting stories, and a courtroom spectacle that saw Arias go from a seemingly sweet, soft-spoken artist to a convicted killer. Was this a crime of self-defense, as she claimed? Or a calculated act of cold-blooded murder?
Join us as we unravel the chilling details of a case that gripped the media, exposed the dark side of obsession, and left us questioning just how far someone will go when love turns deadly.
