What happens when a police officer uses their training to plan, commit, and cover up a murder? This is one such example where an officer turns against the woman that she perceives to be her romantic rival.

The murder would remain a mystery for 23 years. And it would take some determined cold case detectives to piece it all together. When they do they would discover that the trail leads straight to one of their own.

Join Aphrodite Jones and Mike Ferguson as they discuss the fascinating twists and turns of this case.

We all know money isn’t everything, and yet we often find ourselves wondering things like, “who’s the richest person in the room,” or “who’s the richest actor in Hollywood?” Does it really matter to us? Does it change our lives in any way? Of course not – it’s just an obsessive curiosity that’s fed by a media machine that tends to focus on the lives of the rich and famous.

But how about a person who was so obsessed with wealth, that he was willing to go to any length to portray himself as being from one the the richest families in America. This is what a man called Clark Rockefeller was able to do – and he passed his scheme off for many years, linking himself to American aristocracy, all the while being wanted for questioning in a double missing persons’ case that had been reported in California in 1985.

Join Aphrodite Jones and Mike Ferguson as they dig deep into this extraordinary case.

Welcome to Sex Love & Murder, where investigative true crime journalist Aphrodite Jones offers up murder cases that break every American taboo. How do love relationships turn from good to evil without people ever realizing it? This podcast will deal with murders involving love triangles, twisted love affairs, cheating scandals, and stalking, you name it. It will have you thinking about the lies men tell women, and the lies women tell men, all in the name of love.

Together with co-host Mike Ferguson, SEX LOVE & MURDER examines the motives, the jealousy, and the insanity that hides beneath every murder. In her candid and sometimes amusing way, Jones will banter about these bone-chilling crimes, giving listeners an insider’s perspective on what it’s like to come face-to-face with a psycho-killer, how it feels to meet the victims’ family, and how a bizarre “criminal chemistry” can develop in the most unlikely of circumstances.
