Judge Rinder's Crime Stories S01E06 - Hollie Gazzard / Mary Turner Thompson

19 year old, hair stylist, Hollie Gazzard met Asher Maslin and fell madly in love. However, Asher began to control Hollie and threatened that if she ever left him, there would be hell to pay. Hollie secretly planned to leave Asher and fearing for her life she ran back to her family. Almost a year to the day after they met, in February 2014 Hollie was working at a busy salon in Gloucester, when Asher entered and murdered her in front of a group of witnesses and fled.

In December 2000, Mary Turner Thompson met William Jordan online. After months of suspicious behaviour William finally told Mary that he was a secret agent for the CIA. It was only after Mary and William were married and had two children that she discovered that not only was he lying about his job, but he was also a bigamist. William had managed to swindle £198,000 from Mary.
