Dangers of online dating: Laura Frombach & Joy Farrow
Within a week of meeting on a dating app, mum of one Katherine Smith and Anthony Lowe were engaged. The rapid pace of their relationship startled Katherine's family and friends.

Coercive control: Dawn Walker’s family
Dawn Walker met Thomas Nutt over Facebook in 2018. Described by her family as ‘free-willed and strong’, Dawn was drawn to the initially charming Nutt. Very quickly though, he became controlling and jealous, even going so far as to physically attack Dawn’s daughter when she confronted him about his behaviour. However, the worst was yet to come. Within hours of exchanging vows at the altar, Nutt brutally hid Dawn's dead body in the suitcase meant for their honeymoon.
In this episode of #Dead2Me: The Interviews, criminologist Dr Honor Doro Townshend speaks to Dawn Walker’s daughter, Kiera, and sister, Lisa.
