Episode 130: The Murder Planned In The Psychiatric Ward (Case of Celeste Beard)


 

The two women met in the psychiatric ward and instantly sparks were flying.

Their hair was wild, they were heavily drugged up but they knew that it was only a matter of time before they had s*x.

They were so different but it worked. One woman - the wife of a millionaire. The other woman - was struggling with life and addiction.

But they just knew that they would be together. They just didn’t know it would be in jail… for murder.
