About this listen

 What drives people to hurt the ones they love? Every week on Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, we’ll go on a journey, together, through true crime relationship stories that were doomed bonds from the start.

You won't be alone. I, Ky Toure, will be on the emotional journey with you; retelling stories of crimes of passion — reacting with raw honesty, passionate rants, and unfiltered frustration when justice isn’t served.

From love-triangles to fatal attractions, we'll uncover the twisted side of relationships that led to homicide.

    Fledgling Serial Killer's Execution Protested - Even After Murder Confessions | Michael Tanzi
    Jun 20 2025
    She was always on time. Always predictable. So when Janet Acosta didn’t return from her lunch break, her coworkers knew something was wrong.

    What they didn’t know was that Janet’s van was already gone—headed south with her bound and bleeding inside.

    This is the case of Janet Acosta. A woman who lived for adventure. And the 23-year-old Michael Tanzi who stole everything from her.

    South African Woman Sold Daughter for Drugs | Racquel Kelly Smith
    Jun 18 2025
    She was just six years old when she disappeared without a trace from her home in Saldanha Bay, South Africa.

    What followed? Blood-stained clothes. A mother’s shifting story. And a courtroom packed with 30 witnesses.


    And still… no trace of Joshlin Smith.

    Today, we’re telling you the case of Racquel Kelly Smith—a case that ended in court justice… but no answers about where Joshlin is.

    Michael Shaver Disappeared Without a Trace, His Wife Blamed Their Daughter | Laurie Shaver
    Jun 16 2025
    Michael Shaver vanished in 2015 without a trace. No calls. No texts. No goodbye. His wife said he’d left her and didn’t want to be found.

    But then… a concrete firepit.

    A single bullet.

    And years of digital manipulation.

    How does a devoted Disney World monorail technician go from missing to murdered—buried in his own backyard while his wife starts a new life steps away from his grave?

    In today’s episode, we dig into the years-long deception, the twisted cover-up, and the stunning trial that finally revealed what really happened to Michael Paul Shaver.
