Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg Host "VERY SCARY LOVERS" - Premiering Sunday, February 2 on ID
One-Hour Special Presents the Dark and Twisted Relationship of the 'Thrill Kill Couple'
Husband-and-wife duo Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg will co-host Investigation Discovery's thrilling new spinoff special VERY SCARY LOVERS on Sunday, February 2 at 10pm ET/PT. Fueled by their shared passion for true crime storytelling, Donnie and Jenny take viewers on a chilling journey behind the headlines of one of the most diabolical criminal couples in recent history: Benjamin and Erika Sifrit, infamously known as "The Thrill Kill Couple." The special will premiere immediately following the season finale of VERY SCARY PEOPLE, hosted by Donnie Wahlberg.
Hosted, narrated and executive produced by the Wahlbergs, VERY SCARY LOVERS presents the dark and twisted relationship of Erika and Benjamin "BJ" Sifrit. On the surface, they seem like an all-American newlywed couple. He graduated as an Honor Man in the Navy Seals, and she was a star college athlete studying law with an affinity for scrapbooking. But when their love ignites a shared passion for a lifestyle of crime and danger, their relationship takes a dark turn. As the rush of new thrills and higher risks fuel their intense romance, the pair push each other to the extreme, leaving behind a gruesome trail of chaos and murder. With never-before-shared first person accounts and exclusive archival footage, VERY SCARY LOVERS reveals a gritty glimpse inside the minds of a couple whose twisted love drove them to cold-blooded murder.
Preceding the special is the season finale of VERY SCARY PEOPLE at 8pm ET/PT. Hosted and executive produced by Donnie Wahlberg, VERY SCARY PEOPLE delves into the depths of nefarious crimes and the masterminds behind them. Each episode spotlights a criminal whose horrific acts terrorized their communities, tracing their deranged actions from inception to the eventual triumph of justice. The finale episode "The Angel of Death" follows the story of Dana Sue Gray, a ruthless serial killer who hunts well-to-do women in a sleepy California town. When a family member of one of the victims realizes the murderer is her own stepdaughter, police rush to stop her before she can kill again.
