About this listen

 On this episode of Murder Mindset, host Kelsey Coffey takes listeners inside the real-life tragedy of Sarah Ludeman, an 18-year-old from Pinellas Park, Florida, whose promising future was cut short by a violent rivalry fueled by jealousy, romance, and the dark side of social media. As we unravel the chain of events that transformed a typical teenage love triangle into a deadly confrontation, we’ll hear about missed warning signs, patterns of manipulation, and the toxic dynamics between Sarah Ludeman and Rachel Wade—two young women vying for the affections of Joshua Camacho, a young man whose actions stoked the flames of obsession and anger.Through court testimony, chilling voicemails, and first-hand accounts, this episode delves into the psychological descent from teenage angst to homicidal rage. We’ll explore how online threats became real-life danger, why crucial interventions never materialized, and what this case reveals about the consequences of unchecked emotions in the digital age. Join us for a cautionary tale of obsession, impulse, and irreversible tragedy—one that forever changed two families and serves as a warning about the risks of rivalry in the era of social media.
