Hours before her death, someone asked 22-year-old Yeardley Love how things were going with her on-again-off-again boyfriend, George Huguely. “Same old stuff,” Love replied. “Everything is good.” Yet that night, Huguely would kick down her door in a drunken rage and beat her to death.
Though Yeardley Love’s murder shocked the nation — and even George Huguely himself, who was allegedly so drunk that he hardly remembered what he’d done — the subsequent investigation into their relationship found a number of warning signs. Huguely had been violent toward Love before and, in an email he sent after one of their break ups, even told her that he “should have killed you.”
