About this episode

Michelle Hughs grew up being the prettiest woman in the room. She had a charm that made people feel special and when you spoke to her she could make you feel heard and like you were the only one in the room. And while working at a nightclub, Michelle would use this charm to manipulate 3 men, Kent Leppink, John Carlin and Scott Hilky into giving her money, expensive gifts and proposing to her. Michelle juggled 3 fiancés but as time went on her lies caught up to her and specifically Kent Leppink was no longer falling for it. Her fake stories, manipulation tactics and most of all, Kent refused to make Michelle his main beneficiary before they got married. Kents family wouldn't see the terror of his relationship until they would receive a cryptic package from Kent with a note claiming that if they are reading this, then he was murdered by either Michelle, Scott or John. And when Kents family tried to call him multiple times, they were met with no response. Because Kent was found dead 90 miles away from his home. Michelle would always wiggle out of her mistakes with her looks and charm. But how far could her looks and charm take her when it comes to manipulating one of her fiances, to murder her other fiance for her.
