Returning to the show, what do you hope viewers will learn from the second season of “Killer Relationship”?
This season, we showcase all kinds of killer relationships; it’s not just romantic relationships. There are a lot of twists and turns, and people will be surprised. They won’t see these twists and turns coming.
Also, we’re going to answer the question in each episode that a lot of people have when they watch this show: We’re going to answer the why. Why did this happen? What was the motive? What was the reason?
Finally, we don’t do any shows or any cases where we don’t have the victims’ families’ approval. You’re going to hear from their families and their friends, and their words and telling the story of the victim is very powerful because these people’s lives are going to be shared in a way where a lot of people will understand who they are and why they made the decisions they made. I think that you’re going to feel a lot of empathy this season, but you’re also going to learn what made a lot of these people snap.
Can you recommend any resources for people who think they’re in an abusive relationship?

There’s a national domestic violence hotline, which is easy to look up, but I always find that the local programs and local resources in your area are a great way to start. A lot of times, they’ll have information about where you live in your community that a national program may not have access to.
Then, find a trusted friend or family member that you can talk to and confide in and make your plan to exit. There’s no good thing that’s going to come out of staying in a toxic, abusive relationship. Even if you think the person has the potential to change, give them the space to do that on their own.
