A BRIDE-TO-BE's BRUTAL MURDER AND THE KILLER'S TAUNTING LETTERS LEAD AUTHORITIES TO JUSTICE IN THE '20/20' TRUE CRIME SERIES 'BAD ROMANCE'

ABC News Contributor and ESPN Analyst Ryan Smith Reports on the Cryptic Clues That Uncovered a Chilling Truth, Tuesday, April 22, on ABC and Streaming the Next Day on Hulu

Who would kill a mother-daughter pair in cold blood? Engaged to be married and designing her wedding dress, Angel Goyena was living her dream and planning a future with her fiancé, David Hoshaw, an electrical engineer and scout leader. But the fairytale takes a deadly turn when Angel and her mother are found brutally stabbed in the middle of the night. ABC News contributor and ESPN analyst Ryan Smith reports on the case in the "20/20" limited true crime series "Bad Romance," airing Tuesday, April 22 (10:01-11:00 p.m. EDT) on ABC, and streaming the next day on Hulu.

With no sign of forced entry, no murder weapon, and no physical evidence, investigators are stumped. A self-proclaimed vampire claims to have the murder weapon, a series of taunting letters arrive from the killer, and an alibi isn't what it seems. As detectives chase clues across the Midwest, a shocking secret emerges. Inside the interrogation room, the lies unravel - and the killer is finally unmasked.

"Bad Romance" is hosted by ABC News contributor and ESPN analyst Ryan Smith. Now in its second season, the series reveals shocking true crime stories of love turned lethal over the years, and features interviews with individuals involved in some of the most deadly and twisted obsessions.

ABC News' "20/20" is an award-winning primetime program anchored by David Muir and Deborah Roberts.
