The Fatal Obsession: The Tragic Case of Shayna Hubers and Ryan Poston

Serial Napper | True Crime Stories for Naps

On the evening of October 12, 2012, a chilling 911 call shook Highland Heights, Kentucky. Shayna Hubers, just 21 years old, calmly reported, "I killed my boyfriend in self-defense." When police arrived, they found Ryan Poston, a 29-year-old rising star in the legal world, dead from multiple gunshot wounds. Shayna claimed she acted in desperation, but as investigators delved deeper into their tumultuous relationship, they uncovered a dark tale of possessive love, rejection, and obsession.

Ryan was trying to escape the toxic dynamic with Shayna. However, she couldn't accept his attempts to break free. The night of the murder, Ryan was supposed to meet Audrey Bolte, Miss Ohio 2012, for a date, further fueling Shayna's jealousy. As the investigation unfolded, evidence revealed a disturbing pattern of behavior from Shayna, including bizarre statements and actions that raised questions about her true motives. Join me as I explore the twisted events leading up to Ryan's tragic death and the complex trial that followed, where Shayna's claims of self-defense were put to the test. Was it a desperate act of self-preservation or a calculated act of murder?
