A Valentine for His Mistress- The Valentines Day Murder of Denise Leuthold

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

On Valentine’s Day 2013, Denise Leuthold spent the morning the way she always did — making a special holiday breakfast for her children, exchanging cards with her husband, and heading into an ordinary afternoon.

Hours later, she would be found shot inside her home.

At first, investigators believed a burglary had gone wrong. But inside the house, the scene didn’t add up — and a handwritten note uncovered in Denise’s planner would change the direction of the case entirely.

As detectives dug deeper into the life of the devoted missionary couple, they uncovered a secret relationship, a carefully constructed alibi, and a motive chillingly tied to the holiday itself.

This episode explores faith, betrayal, and the calculated decisions behind a murder planned for the most symbolic day of the year — the Valentine’s Day murder of Denise Leuthold.
