This week Current Affairs covers three cases. A Northern Ireland YouTuber is found guilty of murdering his pregnant girlfriend after staging a six-hour gaming livestream as his alibi — while she watched from home. In California, a 30-year-old father is found dead in his apartment and police arrest his ex-girlfriend and three accomplices across three states in what they're calling a deliberate murder-for-hire. And an update on the Hawaii doctor case: Arielle Konig takes the stand exactly one year after her husband allegedly tried to push her off a cliff.Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.Sources:https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/2026/03/23/how-stephen-mccullagh-tried-to-get-away-with-the-murder-of-natalie-mcnally/https://ktla.com/news/inland-empire/2-more-arrested-in-murrieta-killing-possible-murder-for-hire-tied-to-victims-ex-girlfriend/https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/murrieta-murder-for-hire-aaron-parr-jackson-avenue-arbors-at-california-oaks/https://www.courttv.com/news/arielle-konig-testifies-defendant-told-her-nobodys-coming-to-save-you/https://abcnews.com/US/wife-testifies-trial-doctor-accused-kill-hawaii-hiking/story?id=131374588Find LOVE MURDER online:Website: lovemurder.loveInstagram: @lovemurderpodTwitter: @lovemurderpodFacebook: LoveMrdrPodTikTok: @LoveMurderPodPatreon: /LoveMurderPodCredits: Love Murder is hosted by Jessie Pray and Andie Cassette, researched by Sarah Lynn Robinson and researched and written by Jessie Pray, produced by Nathaniel Whittemore and edited by Kyle Barbour-HoffmanSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When a joyful young Filipino mother searching for a better life in America is killed during a South Dakota pheasant hunt, her fiancé insists it was a tragic accident. But as investigators dig deeper, they uncover a disturbing pattern: a violently jealous ex-cop, a secret vasectomy, a hidden affair, and nearly a million dollars in life insurance taken out on the victim just months before her death. What initially looked like a hunting mishap slowly unravels into a chilling story of greed, betrayal, and a man who believed his badge could help him get away with murder.Sources:1. Accident, Suicide or Murder. 2019.2. “Leonila ‘Nila’ De Valle Stickney (1983-2009) - Find a Grave Memorial.” Find a Grave - Millions of Cemetery Records, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/108733253/leonila-stickney.

This update examines the rapidly evolving case surrounding the murders of Monique and Spencer Tepi following the arrest of Michael David McKee. Prosecutors have upgraded the charges to premeditated aggravated murder as family members describe years of emotional abuse and repeated threats that allegedly continued long after the couple’s divorce. The episode reviews the surveillance trail, ballistic evidence, McKee’s arrest in Illinois, and the professional and legal issues that surfaced in the months before the killings. As authorities prepare to transfer McKee to Ohio to face charges that carry the possibility of life without parole or the death penalty, key questions about motive, access, and long-term planning remain unanswered.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In a stunning legal maneuver, Brian Walshe’s defense has admitted he dismembered his missing wife, Ana, but insists he did not kill her. They argue Walshe panicked after finding her unresponsive from natural causes, fearing his prior federal fraud conviction would immediately implicate him. While prosecutors cite a $2.7 million insurance motive and chilling Google searches on body disposal as proof of intent, the defense claims these were the frantic actions of a desperate man. With no body recovered, the jury must decide: was this calculated murder or a "catastrophic" cover-up?Sources:https://apnews.com/article/brian-walshe-trial-wife-3d290aed2d1a0f1999b7f52601f30bf3https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/12/03/brian-walshe-ana-internet-history-murder-charges-trial/https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/brian-walshe-trial-live-stream-jury-selection/https://www.biography.com/crime/a69594031/brian-walshe-murder-trial-ana-walshehttps://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/watch-live-brian-walshe-trial-testimony-day-2/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A marriage that begins with a chance encounter in the 1960s spans two decades of ambition, volatility, and mounting strain, before a sudden death in a hotel room during a work trip is ruled an accident and quietly put to rest—until inconsistencies, private fears, and unresolved conflicts begin to surface, forcing a reckoning with what was really happening inside a relationship that looked perfect from the outside.Sources:1. McLellan, Bill. Evidence of Murder. 1993.2.
