BREAKING POINT (ID)

When marriages fail, divorce can turn ugly - even, deadly: what was once a passionate union becomes plagued by spite, greed, betrayal and, literally, backstabbing. Investigation Discovery's newest series, FATAL VOWS, takes a new twist on tales of love turned lethal.

Each episode explores tumultuous, shocking, and disturbing divorces, and delves into the criminal psychology behind what actually happens when one spouse determines that the only way out is murder. Guiding viewers through these crimes of passion are Dr. Brian Russell, an attorney as well as a forensic and clinical psychologist, and Stacy Kaiser, a licensed psychotherapist and relationship expert. In each episode, the two experts examine the couple featured and provide analysis on marriages that break down to the point that divorce and murder collide.

"Investigation Discovery, the home of the "love gone wrong" genre adds to our viewers' guilty pleasure with a new series, FATAL VOWS which showcases stories that go from the altar to six feet under," said Henry Schleiff, general manager, Investigation Discovery. "With the added element of expertise provided by Dr. Brian Russell and Stacy Kaiser, we are guided through each relationship to learn what lead from wedding bells to divorce hell!"
