A Wedding and a Murder

This Valentine's Day weekend, Oxygen has programming all about the dark side of love, including a two-night special event, "Lover's Lane Murders."

Vicky Ghonim was shot to death in her car at a California park while her 6-month-old son Michael was in the backseat.

Hard-partying Elizabeth Turpin had no intention of settling down after she got married, and she hatched a deadly plan with her lover, Karen Brown.

The body of missing Marie Singleton-Jackson was discovered after a man spotted her gray Saab parked at Dockweiler State Beach in Los Angeles.

Laura Grillo was busy planning the wedding of her dreams when she was shot to death at her home in Rowlett, Texas.

Calgary man Joshua Burgess told police he strangled his wife Shannon Burgess after they had “break-up sex,” which he thought was “make-up sex.”

Before John and Linda Sohus vanished in 1985, they lived with con man Christian Gerhartsreiter, whom they knew as Christopher Chichester.  

Jonathan Hearn testified that prior to gunning down Robert Limon, he remembered “praying, seeking that purpose I had set out to find.”

When Dolly Hearn rejected her boyfriend Bart Corbin’s marriage proposal, she wound up dead. Fourteen years later, his wife died in a similar manner — a gunshot wound to the head. 

Lt. William Walker was gunned down outside of his Madison, Ohio, home in 2013.
