Among the thousands of vacationers who traveled to Ocean City, Maryland, on Memorial Day weekend, 2002, were two couples whose lives intersected, with horrific results.  The first couple, Joshua Ward and Geney Crutchley, were good people looking for a relaxing weekend.  But the second couple, Erika and Benjamin Sifrit, had much darker plans.

Join us at the quiet end for Bad Romance.  At first glance, Erika and Benjamin appeared to be a typical young married couple, but they were a deadly match.  They were big partiers, always looking for a bigger thrill.  When drinking and drugs were no longer enough to satisfy them, they moved on to burglarizing businesses and carrying loaded guns.  Then, one dreadful night, the Sifrits played a twisted game of murder and mayhem, showing their gravitation to violence and their complete lack of human empathy.
