On what seemed like an ordinary morning in August 2015, three friends gathered at Amanda Collie's house to support each other amid a crumbling marriage. No one could have imagined that within hours, the house would become a scene of carnage. Behind the calm facade of St. Augustine, Florida’s elite community, lay a love story that had turned into a deadly obsession—when the abandoned husband, James Collie Jr., sought revenge with two guns in his hands and anger he could no longer control.
In this episode, you’ll discover how a seemingly perfect relationship could lead to such a horrific tragedy. We will trace James’s descent from a loving father to a cold-blooded killer, and how the legal system’s delayed response ultimately led to the deaths of two young mothers. This story is not just about murder—it’s a warning to anyone who believes domestic violence can be ignored.
