Tonight’s case begs the question - what happens when a true crime enthusiast becomes obsessed with the crimes and lives of some of the most disturbing, violent monsters in existence? Should we pay closer attention to what they’re doing - or is it totally innocent? What if their obsession led them to stray too far, becoming the very killer they admired from afar? This is the story of Shay Groves, a 23-year-old true crime-obsessed woman from the U.K., who viciously murdered her boyfriend while he slept. But was it a true crime obsession that drove her to kill or was she simply born to become a murderer?
