Marriages turn into murder
About Fatal Vows
Fatal Vows is another true crime show that focuses on marriages that devolve to the point of murder. Instead of starting with the discovery of a body, episodes take a storytelling route and follow each couple’s relationship from their first meeting, to their marriage, to the eventual murder, with plenty of re-creations to set the scene.
Psychotherapist Stacy Kaiser and forensic psychologist Brian Russell offer their expert opinions on the breakdown in the marriages and each killer’s psychology, and detectives and victims’ loved ones fill in the details. Many of the cases have been covered in other shows that focus on intimate partner homicide. The difference in this one is the expert opinions offered by Kaiser and Russell.
