Swipe. Match. Murder…When Dating Turns Deadly

from The Brighter Side of Blue Podcast · host The Brighter Side of Blue

(31:08) In our featured interview, Maggie Hagen breaks down real cases where dating, online connections, and hidden relationships spiraled into shocking violence. From dating apps lowering barriers to risky behavior…to double lives, secret affairs, and friendships that turned into betrayal…we examine how seemingly normal situations escalated into murder.With Maggie bringing a younger perspective on modern dating culture and the crew looking at it through a law-enforcement lens, this conversation dives into how technology, secrecy, and human behavior collide in dangerous ways.We open the episode from Colombo’s in Dogtown with some classic TBSOB chaos…Ricky Ray’s “ham and beans” gets labeled a peasant dish, Lent season and fish fry talk makes an appearance, and we set the table for the week’s content. Then we pivot into real topics…police being targeted during crowd incidents, officer safety, and two Christian County line-of-duty deaths. Sprinkle in sponsor love, a Colin Ledbetter update, and an all-time radio-station “live stream mistake” story…and then it’s on to Maggie.Communities that support law enforcement are safer places to live.#TheBrighterSideOfBlue #PolicePodcast #LawEnforcement #TrueCrime #BehindTheBadge #PoliceStories #DatingApps #DoubleLife #DTFStLouis
