It takes a special kind of narcissism to feel entitled to murder somebody. Especially when the motive is just to get them out of your way, because they\u2019re inconveniencing you. And it takes an even bigger ego to decide that you\u2019re not gonna do your dirty work yourself\u2014you\u2019re gonna outsource it instead. We\u2019ve seen plenty of murder for hire schemes before on this show, and as you\u2019ve probably noticed, they don\u2019t tend to go real well. And you usually find, at their center, a person so self-involved that they view the world as their own personal chessboard to manipulate as they choose. What\u2019s unusual about this week\u2019s story is that it involves not one of these narcissistic little gremlins\u2014but two. It offers us a tantalizing peek at what happens when two people get together to bring out each other\u2019s darkest desires. Join us for the bizarre story of Drs. Leon Jacob and Valerie McDaniel, who conspired together to murder their exes. Although the plan was to eliminate two people, only one life was ultimately lost, and it's probably not the one you're expecting.
