Marriage promises love, loyalty, and a life together. Sometimes the relationship ends in murder. Till Death Do Us Part examines documented cases in which spouses, partners, lovers, and exes became victims or suspects, reconstructing both the crime and the relationship that preceded it. Each episode explores jealousy, betrayal, money, secrecy, control, resentment, and other relationship dynamics while carefully separating documented facts from allegations and psychological interpretation.

The case became a national media sensation and one of the earliest murder trials to receive extensive television coverage.
