Does anyone know where I can find info about the people in the real life case that this episode was based on?
"I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't"
Kacey Musgraves "Pageant Material"
I think this Wikipedia page might help:

I watched this episode really for the first time fully last night. Very good, with several twists and turns.
One thing that was not clear, is why the lady turned against Delgado, after practically worshiping him before. What was the critical event or realisation, that changed her mind, and made her determined to kill him?
My thoughts during the episode was that she changed the first time she killed the one girl, and that she never felt comfortable doing what she did. She learned what Delgado did, his tips and tricks, so when he wanted to marry her after she was upset she knew he was going to kill her. So i think with that knowledge she figured he wouldn't stop trying to kill her and that he probably would keep hurting people and decided to kill him? That entire episode was pretty rushed and wasn't well played out.
shareIt doesn't make sense, she knew from the beginning what delgado was doing..i think it was seeing they were going to steal from people who were in love that made her change her mind..
shareI just re-watched this episode online yesterday. The reasons that Martha Puck turned against him had to do with (a) being saddened after reading a touching inscription on a watch from one of their victims (the watch appeared to be an heirloom dating back decades that must have been handed down). That inscription reminded her of what true love really is (remember, she was a reader of romance novels and being one half of a murdering duo is not the stuff of romance) and (b) she concluded that if he wanted to marry her that that meant that he wanted to get rid of her (kill her). With that said, the fact that her tape was playing when he later killed himself suggests that he actually did love her and wanted to be with her, not kill her.
