In Poisoned Love: The Stacey Castor Story, viewers meet Stacey, a widow who finds love again with her boss, David (Mike Dopud). When David is found dead of an apparent suicide, police become suspicious, especially when they discover David’s death is reminiscent of Stacey’s first husband. As the evidence starts to point toward Stacey, a suicide attempt by her daughter Ashley (Chanelle Peloso) throws the investigators for a loop. Is Stacey a black widow or just a victim of tragic circumstance? Poisoned Love: The Stacey Castor Story is executive produced by Danielle von Zerneck, Frank von Zerneck, Cindi Riddle and Peter Hunziker. Jim Donovan directed from a script written by Michael Vickerman, Riddle and Hunziker.

The real Stacey Castor was convicted of murder for the death of David and attempted murder of daughter Ashley. She was sentenced to 51 years to life in prison in 2009, but died of a heart attack while incarcerated in 2016.
