Baltimore, Maryland, USA,Sun Oct 13 2024
Faith Jenkins isn't just another face on TV. She’s a former prosecutor turned host of Oxygen True Crime’s hit series "Killer Relationship. " What makes this show stand out? It’s not just about romantic relationships gone wrong. This season, the show is diving into all kinds of relationships, from friendships to professional ties that turn deadly. Take the case of Melissa Henderson, for example. Her death, initially thought to be natural, turned out to be a complex web of secrets and lies. Faith teases that there are some shocking twists in store for viewers about what Henderson was hiding. So, why do people watch? Faith believes it's because everyone can relate to having a relationship. Some viewers are interested in catching red flags they might miss, while others want to understand what drives someone to murder. But getting these stories on air isn’t easy. Faith and her team only feature cases where the family gives them the green light. They also look for cases with an unexpected twist. Faith’s legal background helps her offer unique insights into these investigations. However, telling these stories isn’t always easy. Since having her daughter, Faith sees the cases involving children in a new light. She finds it astonishing how a person can so coldly betray a loved one, like in the case of Jacquelyn Smith, whose murder was orchestrated by her own family. "Killer Relationship with Faith Jenkins" airs Saturdays at 8 p. m. ET on Oxygen True Crime.
