When the lines between love and murder blur, the result is often a tale so harrowing it’s hard to believe it’s true. This week on Love and Murder, we step into the horrible story of Jasmine Richardson, the youngest person in Canada to be charged with multiple counts of murder.
In a quiet Canadian suburb, the Richardson family seemed to embody the spirit of second chances. Deborah and Mark, having overcome their battles with addiction, were devoted to providing a stable home for their children. But as their daughter Jasmine entered her teenage years, a shift occurred that would lead to one of the most shocking crimes in the country’s history.
As Jasmine delved into the gothic subculture, she met Jeremy Steinke, a man with a troubled past and a dark persona. Their illicit romance, hidden from the watchful eyes of Jasmine’s parents, spiraled into a plot that would end in bloodshed.
From the initial portrayal of a typical family to the disturbing social media posts and the influence of the movie “Natural Born Killers,” the episode paints a vivid picture of a descent into darkness.
