Summary

Christine Belford thought the hardest part of her divorce was over. Instead, it marked the beginning of a years-long nightmare. After her ex-husband kidnapped their children and fled the country, Christine fought tirelessly to bring them home. But even after the girls were returned, the harassment didn't stop. This episode breaks down the international kidnapping, the custody battle, the courthouse shooting that shocked Delaware, and the historic cyberstalking convictions that followed. AFTER SHOW AVAILABLE ON PATREON When a girlfriend called 911 in March 2018, she immediately admitted that her boyfriend was dead. What investigators discovered inside the home painted the picture of a violent confrontation that ended in tragedy. This episode breaks down the relationship, the killing, the controversial plea deal, and why it feels like justice was never fully served.
