Synopsis: Boyfriend Killer On Lifetime Movie Network
Sandra Cruz Durro is grieving after the loss of her 24-year-old son, Preston, who dies accidentally. And she isn’t the only one who is distraught over Preston’s death. His fiancée, Krystal Kellers, had envisioned spending the rest of her future with him.
Fighting back the tears, Sandra wants to find any pictures that exist of her son through his friends on social media. But as Sandra examines her son’s account, she finds that he had some disturbing conversations with his girlfriend, Krystal, who was trying to solicit him into killing her ex-boyfriend.
As this grief-stricken mom probes further, she learns that Krystal’s ex-boyfriend actually did die recently. Now, she believes that her son’s death was no accident but a coverup to somehow conceal her involvement in the crime.
Soon Sandra’s grief turns to anger as she sets out to prove that Krystal is a double killer. It doesn’t take long before this concerned mother turned sleuth starts to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
Meanwhile, it comes to light that Krystal is an emotionally unstable woman who was stalking her former lover. Everything from vandalizing his car and following him on dates with other women to breaking into his home and watching him while he showered, Krystal has proven to Sandra and the police that she is a woman who has come completely unglued.
But setting out to prove that Krystal orchestrated both murders could be dangerous for Sandra, leaving her vulnerable to a deliberate predator. Will Sandra and the police investigators solve the mystery before Krystal catches on or will Krystal get away with murder for a third time?

True Story Of Stalking And Murder Recalled
One can’t be sure of the inspiration for the movie Boyfriend Killer, and it doesn’t appear to be based on a true story. However, the case of Shayna Hubers is one that was called to mind. In that story, Shayna Hubers killed her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Ryan Poston, a handsome attorney who wanted to move on with his life. Authorities say that Shayna Hubers was a woman obsessed. She stalked Ryan Poston and followed him around town. Ultimately, she shot him multiples times in his apartment. He was found dead on the floor when police arrived.
In a Topix discussion, a poster stated the following.
“Ryan was very into aggressive and kinky sex…his ‘sex’ messages to her were very f’d up. He is the one who did not want to be in a relationship with her anymore. He and his cousin both tried to break it to Shayna in several different ways that he did not want to date her or even speak to her again. Ryan wanted Shayna out of his life, but she kept stalking him. She would dress up and drive to his apartment unannounced. She broke into his house one night and walked up on him while he was asleep. They got into a huge fight and he had to physically carry her out of his apartment. She couldn’t let go. They were/are BOTH insane! However, no one deserves what happened, and she deserves to be behind bars.”
According to WLWT-5, Shayna Hubers’ Facebook emails were her undoing. In those messages, she told friends on social media that she wanted Poston dead and for it to look like an accident. The case was profiled on the following shows. Read about those airings below.
