Oxygen True Crime’s Real Murders of Atlanta focuses on a Valentine’s Day tragedy this Saturday with an episode that explores a crime of passion that rocked the city. Airing at 8 PM ET, My Deadly Valentine (Season 3, Episode 17) opens on what should be a romantic rendezvous in an Atlanta park, but quickly morphs into a homicide investigation when a beloved husband and community figure is found murdered.
The series, now in its third season, has established itself as a reliable purveyor of Southern Gothic true crime, focusing on cases that touch on status, ambition, and the darker underbelly of Atlanta’s social scene. This episode seems to be no exception, with the investigation leading to a suspect whose identity shocks the community.
As police work to unravel the circumstances leading to the victim’s death, the episode draws on interviews with investigators, witnesses, reporters, and those close to the slain man to build a picture of a life cut short. Expect a heavy dose of local flavor, family drama, and the kind of insider perspective that’s become the series’ calling card.
“The Real Murders of Atlanta: My Deadly Valentine” airs Saturday, June 7 at 8:00 PM ET on Oxygen.
