This case is a prime example of why we love dogs more than people. Dirk Prinsloo had a reputation for being a sleazy lawyer; making people feel uncomfortable was an understatement of his actions. When he met Cezanne Vesser he did what any narcissistic predator would do, and immediately swooned her in an intense over the top conquest to win her over. But once he got the girl, Dirk had higher expectations for how is partner must look.  Three breast augmentations and one botched nose job later, Cezanne  made quite a shocking transformation to say the least… but Cezanne’s transformation doesn’t just stop at her looks…What this couple ends up doing together will make your stomach turn… brace yourselves.

In November of 2018 Tamla Horsford, a beautiful wife and mother to six, was attending a girls night sleepover at her friends house.  Sadly, her family had no idea that they would never see her again when she left that evening. The next morning would bring a tragedy filled with unanswered questions for many close to Tamla. No one knows what happened that night, other than the ones who were there. But to this day, most everyone can agree, the explanations just don’t quite make sense.

Charnell is taking it back to the old timey marriage days this week… but this isn’t your typical love story. Nellie May Madison was quite a woman. She rode horses like a pro and was one hell of a shot with a gun.  Nellie had ended several marriages before meeting Eric Madison, who would eventually become her next husband. As we know, marriage isn’t always happily ever after. Sometimes enough is enough, but does it justify murder?
