THE MURDER OF ALICE RUGGLES — “When No Wasn’t Enough

What happens when someone refuses to accept that the relationship is over?

THE MURDER OF ALICE RUGGLES — “When No Wasn’t Enough”

In this episode of Til TRUTH Do Us Part, Shawna and David take a closer look at the tragic murder of Alice Ruggles — a 24-year-old woman from Gateshead, England whose life was taken by an ex-partner who could not let go.

A case involving love, obsession, control, and the devastating consequences of a “no” that wasn’t respected.

We’ll walk through Alice’s story, the warning signs many dismissed as jealousyor “relationship drama,” the relationship that turned dangerous, and the final days that led to her death — including how Alice did ask for help.

This is more than a murder story. It’s a reminder that sometimes the moments we dismiss as jealousy, possessiveness, or “relationship drama” can be warning signs of something much darker. It’s also the story of how Alice’s family turned unimaginable loss into change through the Alice Ruggles Trust, fighting to raise awareness of stalking and coercive control.

And as always… we’re not doing True Crime the way everyone else does.

We’re Shawna and David — a marriedcouple telling true crime stories with conversation, sarcasm, empathy, and a whole lot of questions. We’re human, so the editing may not be perfect — but we really care, and that matters.

Life and Legacy of Katlyn Lyon Montgomery: A Virginia Case Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses stalking, domestic violence, and the murder of a mother. Please listen with care.

She thought she was starting over. Instead, someone was watching her.

This week, Shawna tells the heartbreaking story of Katlyn Lyon Montgomery, a 28-year-old mother from Virginia who was just beginning to rebuild her life after leaving a harmful relationship.

What followed was a pattern of stalking, digital footprints that investigators would later piece together, and a murder that would shake her family and community. This is a case where investigators had to seek justice without the DNA evidence they expected — proving that obsessioncan leave a trail, even when fingerprints don't.

From the chilling timeline to the courtroom fight for justice, we unpack this case with the care it deserves — centering Katlyn as a daughter, a mother, and a beautiful person who was so loved, not just as a case file.This episode was told with love and with the blessing of those who knew Katlyn. Our hearts are with her family, her daughter, and everyone who continues to honor her memory.

Along the way, David brings the questions, disbelief, and sarcasm that make our Thursday episodes feel like you're sitting in the room with us.

WE REALLY CARE AND THAT MATTERS. ❤️

If you or someone you know is experiencing stalking or domestic violence, help is available:

US: Call 800-799-7233 or text START to 88788 — thehotline.orgIf you have a case you'd like us to cover, email us at motiveandmagnolia@gmail.com

We are human. The editing might not always be frame-perfect, and we're a married couple without computer engineering degrees — but we're pretty damn proud of what we're building, and we really care about getting stories like Katlyn's right. 🎙️🎧💜

And one more thing, Truth Seekers...

🚨 TACKY TUESDAYS — EPISODE 3 🚨

The crimes are real.

The arrests are bizarre.

And the decisions? Well… questionable would be putting it nicely. 😂

“Wait… WHAT did they actually do?”

They’re the ones where you have to wonder if the suspect had ANY plan at all.

Expect tacky.

Expect plenty of “you cannot make this stuff up” moments.

And of course, expect your favorite Delightfully Diabolical Storytelling Duo to break it all down with a little true crime, a little sarcasm, and a whole lot of disbelief.

The Forgotten Files Ep. 2: Fanny Lillian Madison & Susan Watkins — Two Virginia Murders, 1885 & 1891 Sep 05, 2026

Show notes

The Forgotten Files — Episode Two: Two Murders, Two Secrets

Two women. Two murders. Two courtroom dramas that captivated Virginia more than a century ago.

In this episode of The Forgotten Files, Shawna and David open two forgotten murder cases from nineteenth-century Virginia. First, we travel back to Richmond in 1885, where the death of 23-year-old Fanny Lillian Madison leads investigators to a young attorney, a shocking secret, and a trial that captured national attention.

Then we head west to Salem, Virginia, in 1891, where the murder of Susan Watkins in the mountains of Roanoke County sparks a fugitive manhunt, tangled relationships, questions of race and justice, and a courtroom battle that would end with a man facing the ultimate punishment.

No DNA. No surveillance cameras. No modern forensic technology.

Just witnesses, letters, physical evidence, newspaper headlines—and twelve people deciding whether the accused were guilty.

Were the right men convicted?

Or did the truth disappear somewhere inside the evidence?

The files are old. The questions aren't.

So grab your flashlight, open the case file, and join Shawna and David as they blow the dust off the files and begin.
