Muscles, marriage, and murder. A deadly Valentine’s Day like no other.

Ray and Sally McNeil were both professional bodybuilders—a power couple in the world of competitive fitness.

On February 14, 1995, their volatile relationship reached its shocking and violent climax, leaving one of them dead and the other fighting for their freedom.

Was Sally McNeil a battered wife acting in self-defense, or was there something more sinister behind the crime? Join us as we break down the case that rocked the bodybuilding world and examine the dark side of extreme competition.

🎧 Listen now—because strength isn’t always what it seems.
