The Black Swan - The story of Ashley & Doug Benefield

A young, beautiful ballet dancer.   A recently widowed serial entrepreneur 30 years her senior.  And a 14-day courtship straight to marriage.  To the naked eye, a love at first sight romance story.  But not all is as it seemed (ain't that always the truth), and this story took a quick left down poison street, straight onto bankrupt business lane, and a hard right onto murder way.  In this episode of Dinner and Drama with Kristin & Drew, we explore the suspected murderer dubbed, the Black Swan, and the crazy relationship of Ashley & Doug Benefield.
