In this Florida Man Friday episode of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, I tell you the case of Stanley Elias Eckerd, a young man caught in a love triangle with his brother Sean and a woman named Samantha Rowe. What began as a familial rivalry over shared romantic interests spiraled into a deadly confrontation leaving one brother dead. Stanley and Sean, the youngest in a family of seven, shared a strained relationship marred by jealousy, competition, and a mutual affection for Samantha. This rivalry reached its breaking point on June 19, 2010, when a heated argument between the brothers led to a fatal altercation Was this a premeditated act fueled by jealousy, or a tragic accident born out of a moment of rage?
