172. The Love Triangle Murder of Latrese Curtis

A quiet North Carolina highway. A young woman’s body left in the grass. And a love triangle that would unravel into jealousy, obsession, and murder.

In January 2008, 21-year-old college student Latrese Curtis was found brutally stabbed along Interstate 540 near Raleigh. What initially looked like a random act of violence soon exposed a tangled web of relationships hiding beneath the surface of her life. As investigators dug deeper, they discovered a complicated love triangle involving Curtis, a close friend, and a respected church leader whose secrets would shock the community. Robert Reaves, a former pastor, would ultimately stand at the center of the investigation as detectives uncovered a story driven by jealousy, hidden desire, and obsession.

In this episode of our LGBTQ+ true crime podcast, we examine the disturbing murder that grew out of a volatile triangle of relationships and the darker truths hiding behind public reputations. It’s a case that forces us to confront how secrecy, stigma, and unspoken identity can twist lives into tragedy, an unforgettable chapter in modern queer history and true crime with a queer perspective.

Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light—all with a cold one in hand.

Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history.
