In the episode "Love You to Death" from season 2 of Scorned: Love Kills, viewers are introduced to the story of Linda and David Rusk. Linda was a successful businesswoman and mother of two who seemed to have it all. She had a loving husband, a beautiful home, and plenty of financial security. However, unbeknownst to David, Linda was hiding a dark secret. She had been having an affair with a man named James Easton for over a year.
As the affair continued, Linda became increasingly unstable. She was consumed by her emotions and utterly convinced that James was her soulmate. Meanwhile, James had grown tired of the relationship and began to distance himself from Linda. Unable to handle the rejection, Linda's behavior became more erratic. She began stalking James and sending him countless texts and emails, pleading for him to come back to her.
Despite David's suspicions, it wasn't until Linda's behavior became truly dangerous that he realized the severity of the situation. One day, David arrived home from work to find Linda waiting for him with a gun. She had become convinced that David was the reason James had left her and was determined to kill him.
What follows is a tragic and heartbreaking tale of love, obsession, and betrayal. As the investigation into Linda's actions unfolds, viewers are left to question whether love can truly make people do terrible things. With interviews from those closest to Linda and David, as well as law enforcement officials involved in the case, "Love You to Death" offers a nuanced look at the complicated and often destructive nature of human relationships.
