Crash: The Murder of Brittney Brashers

Published: Nov. 4, 2022, 7 a.m.

Y\u2019know, between Hollywood, books and TV, humans have got some pretty weird ideas about romantic love. If she turns you down, keep at her\u2014make a grand romantic gesture to let her know you\u2019re not goin\u2019 away! If he\u2019s jealous, it just means he really loves you. If he doesn\u2019t want you dressing sexy, it\u2019s just because he\u2019s protective. Okay, we might fight all the time, but that\u2019s just because we\u2019re passionate. REAL love is like that, you know. Sure it's a little suffocating sometimes when she wants me to spend every spare minute with her\u2014sure I\u2019m losing touch with some of my friends, but I mean\u2026I\u2019m the only good thing in her life! I can\u2019t leave her like everybody else in her life always has. Any of this sound familiar? Yeah, I figured. This stuff can play out in a lot of different ways, of course. Not every story like this is gonna end in murder. But this one does.

Join us for the story of Brittney Brashers, a beautiful young Iraq War veteran and athlete who had her whole life ahead of her--until she met Robbie Walters, whose charming and funny exterior hid a heart full of poison.
