- October 5, 2014
Amanda and Grant Hayes were the perfect couple, blessed with talents and good looks, and an intense love for each other. Amanda was a talented musician who had even won an award as a rising star. Grant was a handsome artist who was known for his striking paintings. They seemed to have it all, but behind the facade lay a dark reality that would eventually tear them apart.
The couple met in their hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee, and their connection quickly became intense. Amanda, just eighteen at the time, was enamored with the older and more experienced Grant. Despite their age difference, they fell deeply in love and moved in together within a few months. But their relationship was far from normal, and their love was soon overshadowed by jealousy, control, and violence.
Amanda and Grant's relationship became increasingly volatile, with violent outbursts and threats of harm. Grant was possessive and controlling, continually monitoring Amanda's movements, and accusing her of cheating on him. He even went as far as to install a tracker on her car to monitor her movements, and he began to isolate her from friends and family.
Their relationship continued to spiral out of control, and Amanda's dreams of a music career faded away. The couple moved to North Carolina, and Amanda became pregnant, but their domestic situation had not improved. Grant continued to abuse Amanda, and their relationship became even more complicated when Amanda gave birth to a son.
The situation took a deadly turn when Grant's ex-girlfriend Michelle, who had been trying to leave him for years, became involved. The trio began leading a destructive and delusional lifestyle, fueled by drugs, jealousy, and toxic rage. Amanda became fixated on Michelle, who she saw as a threat to her relationship with Grant.
The three began to plot a murder and fantasized about the perfect crime. But their plan was riddled with errors and mistakes, and eventually, they were caught. The police found the body of Michelle's ex-boyfriend, who the trio had murdered, in a dumpster, and they were immediately arrested.
Despite Amanda's claims of innocence, the evidence against her was overwhelming. She and Grant were charged with kidnapping, murder, and dismemberment, among other crimes. Their trial became a media circus, with the sordid details of their relationship and the murder splashed across news headlines.
In the end, Amanda was sentenced to life imprisonment, and Grant received the death penalty. It was a grisly end to a tragic love story that became a fatal obsession. Killer Couples Season 4 Episode 1, detailing the twisted and deadly relationship of Amanda and Grant Hayes, paints a vivid picture of how love and obsession can become a portrait of terror.
