In March 2024, police in Davenport, Iowa, discovered the brutal murder of 31-year-old mother of two, Taylor Escontrias. Hours earlier, she’d sent a text message that read: “If I get killed, it was Chris.”
Her boyfriend, Christopher Behal, had met Taylor during rehab at Country Oaks Recovery Center, where both were fighting addiction. But once outside those walls, sobriety slipped — and their relationship turned deadly.
This episode of REDRUM True Crime explores the devastating chain of events that led to Taylor’s murder, the chilling details of the crime scene, and the shocking confession that followed.
