About this listen

 What drives people to hurt the ones they love? Every week on Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, we’ll go on a journey, together, through true crime relationship stories that were doomed bonds from the start.

You won't be alone. I, Ky Toure, will be on the emotional journey with you; retelling stories of crimes of passion — reacting with raw honesty, passionate rants, and unfiltered frustration when justice isn’t served.

From love-triangles to fatal attractions, we'll uncover the twisted side of relationships that led to homicide.

    Toddler Drowns While Father Slept Nearby and Refused to Help | Sharef Omar Smith
    Aug 29 2025
    A hotel pool. A father asleep on the steps. A three-year-old drifting silently into the deep end.

    By the time anyone realized what was happening, it was already too late. A housekeeper’s desperate screams, frantic attempts to resuscitate, and a shocking refusal to help—all caught the attention of investigators who would later uncover a disturbing history behind the man who was supposed to protect his son.

    This week we cover the case of K.S., a toddler whose final moments were spent fighting for life in a Florida hotel pool while his father, Sharef Omar Smith, slept just feet away.

    Two Cases of When Parents Turn Violent | Hazel Benson and Delbert Cornish
    Aug 27 2025
    A grandmother calls 911 over loud video games—hours later, her son is bleeding from a gunshot wound.

    Then, in another state, a teenager bursts out of his home screaming that his father has killed his sister.

    Two families, two homes, two stories of violence that no one saw coming.

    This week on Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, we look at the case of 72-year-old Hazel Benson in Mesa, Arizona—and the chilling murder of 18-year-old Hope “Onyx” Cornish in Caldwell, Idaho.

    Aug 25 2025
    A mother rushed to the hospital, bleeding and in denial. Doctors knew she had given birth, but she swore she hadn’t. Days later, investigators went to her home… and found something hidden that changed the entire course of the case.

    This week I tell you the story of Monique Burton — a case of secrets, lies, and a discovery no one was prepared for.
