  • 13- Beyond the Verdict: The Story of Francine Hughes
    2026/08/07

    In rural Michigan, a young woman dreamed of building a loving home, raising her children, and creating the kind of future so many couples imagine at the beginning of a marriage.

    Years later, her story would become one of the most influential domestic violence cases in American history.

    In this episode of Deadly Devotion, we look beyond the headlines to explore who Francine Hughes was before her name became known around the world. Together, we'll examine the relationship that changed her life, the courtroom testimony that challenged long-held beliefs about abuse, and the legacy that continues to shape conversations about trauma, justice, and compassion nearly fifty years later.

    This isn't simply the story of a trial.

    It's the story of a woman whose life helped change the way many people understand domestic violence.

    Because before there was a courtroom...

    There was a family.

    There was hope.

    And there was a life.

  • 12 - When Love Becomes Possession - Travis Alexander
    2026/07/23

    Episode 12: Travis Alexander | When Love Becomes Possession

    Before Travis Alexander became the center of one of America's most infamous murder trials, he was a son, a brother, a mentor, and a man known for his generosity, optimism, and unwavering faith.

    In this episode of Deadly Devotion, we look beyond the headlines surrounding Jodi Arias and instead focus on the life of Travis Alexander. Through careful research, we follow the evolution of their relationship, examine the warning signs that emerged over time, and walk alongside investigators as they pieced together one of the most compelling digital evidence cases in modern criminal history.

    More than a courtroom drama, this episode explores the difference between love and possession, the importance of healthy boundaries, and why every victim deserves to be remembered for the life they lived—not just the way it ended.
