On July 24th, 2000, The Jerry Springer Show aired an episode that was recorded three months before called "Secret Mistresses Confronted". During the episode Nancy, who was married to Ralf for 15 months until February 1999, learned for the first time that Ralf and his mistress Eleanor were married. Until recently, she had shared a home with the couple even after divorcing Ralf. Ralf and Eleanor accused Nancy of stalking them and making their lives miserable. On the show, she revealed that she thought she had been asked to appear so that she and Ralf could reconcile.
Just hours after the taping, a judge issued a restraining order against Ralf. She told a judge how he had allegedly chased her with a knife and threatened to kill her and her family. Ralf wasn't allowed near Nancy or her home.
Eleanor, Ralf and Ralf's nephew Marcus, were drinking at a bar while watching the episode as it aired. They decided to go pay Nancy a visit despite the restraining order. The police were summoned to the house after a neighbor said she could hear loud arguments and found Nancy's body, strangled and with her head beaten in. Eleanor and Ralf fled the state, but were later arrested. Ralf said that on the day Nancy was killed, he was so drunk he couldn't remember anything that happened. Ralf is now serving life in prison for Nancy's murder.
