Love, Lies, Scams, Murder (12x167)

Air date: Jul 14, 2014

In October 2013, Shay’s 19-year-old brother, Connor, was convicted of second-degree murder in the stabbing death of Shay’s boyfriend, Andrew, and sentenced to 20 to 60 years in prison. In a Dr. Phil exclusive, Shay and her parents share what they believe happened that night and why they feel Connor was acting in self-defense. Why did Connor leave the crime scene, without calling 911, and ditch the knife? Hear texts between the two men leading up to the incident. Should Connor have received a lesser sentence? Then, 71-year-old Mort says he’s in love with his fiancée, “Keri,” whom he met online and to whom he has given more than $100,000. He says “Keri” is currently stuck in Malaysia, while attempting to collect her $2.75 million inheritance, but his daughters, Kim and Ann Marie, think their father is being scammed. Dr. Phil digs for answers in search of the truth -- is “Keri” a con artist? Plus, Alisha says her husband, Dennis, verbally and physically abused her -- and when she worked up the courage to leave him, he shot her five times before taking his own life. Alisha, who is now a quadriplegic, shares her story with Dr. Phil. Tune in to see what big surprise Dr. Phil has for Alisha.
