Episode 117: A Killer Talk Show

Send us a text

During the 90’s, daytime tv was infiltrated by talk shows that were filled with the drama of paternity tests, couples cheating and secret crushes. One such talk show would lead to one of their guests committing murder. In 1995, Michigan native Jonathan Schmitz killed an acquaintance of his Scott Amedure, just three days after Scott admitted to having a crush on Jonathan while on the popular daytime talk show “The Jenny Jones Show”. So, why did Jonathan feel the need to kill Scott and was the popular talk show to blame?
