Sometimes love is blind… and sometimes it’s deadly.

In 1958, Charles Starkweather and his 14-year-old girlfriend Caril Fugate embarked on a killing spree across Nebraska that left 11 people dead and America terrified. But was Caril a victim—or an accomplice? 

In this episode, Simon Ford and Jacques Morrell dissect the couple’s toxic relationship, their violent road trip, and the long shadow the case still casts over true crime, youth culture, and media sensationalism.

Hear how the courts ruled, what happened to Caril, and why the debate over her guilt or innocence continues today.
