“Love Doctor’s Secret Love Child—and the Revenge of a Woman Scorned”

When Kate Culpepper was brutally stabbed to death by her husband, Ian, inside their Pebble Beach mansion, no one knew she had a shocking secret. A secret so dark it may have led to her demise: she was pregnant with another man’s child.

A source close to the investigation confirmed to The Downtown Star that DNA testing excluded Culpepper as the father of Kate’s eight-week-old fetus. Did Culpepper learn of his wife’s affair and stab her in a jealous rage? Insiders say the blonde-haired beauty had a wandering eye much like her husband and had hopped into bed with one of his colleagues shortly after their arrival in sleepy Carmel. But no one, not even those closest to the couple, suspected the truth about the Love Doctors’ ill-fated marriage.

In another bombshell revelation, Ian’s ex-wife, Ava Lawson, was indicted for his murder, after mounting evidence pointed to her involvement in the attack. Reminiscent of the infamous “scorned woman” Betty Broderick, the suburban housewife who shot to death her ex-husband and his second wife, it is believed that Lawson sought her revenge against her ex-husband in a vicious Valentine’s Day slaughter. Pictured below, arriving back at her Carmel cottage, Lawson looks remorseless, apparently unperturbed by the allegations against her, leading some to dub her the “Valentine Vixen.”
