- Californian wife and mom-of-three Michaela Rylaarsdam (31) has been arrested and charged over the death of Michael Dale (55) in 2023. It is alleged his death happened following a consensual BDSM session that Michael paid for. Michaela is alleged to have wrapped Michael in saran wrap, at his request. She allegedly filmed OnlyFans content as he lay dying beside her.
- Brendan Banfield has been accused of murdering his wife Christine in 2023. It is alleged that Brendan worked with the family au-pair Juliana Peres Magalhaes to conduct the crime. Brendan and Juliana made an account on a fetish website and tried to set up a man named Joseph Ryan to come into their home. The plan was that Joseph would assault Christine as part of a role-play and that her death would occur as part of that scenario. Both Joseph and Christine ended up being killed.
