The second episode of “Love You to Death” on Investigation Discovery tells the story of a crude, Shakespearean love triangle that ended with the death of one teen and almost 30 years in prison for the other.

In April 2009, Sarah Ludemann was stabbed to death in Pinellas Park, Florida. The fight was over a boy’s attention. If you want to know more about what happened and where the person who did it and the person for whom it happened are now, we’ve got you covered. Why don’t we find out?

How Did Sarah Ludemann Die?

Sarah Rose Ludemann was born in Pinellas Park, Pinellas County, Florida, on December 7, 1990. She was the only child of Gay Ludemann and her late husband, the cab driver Charles M. Ludemann. Her parents had been wanting a child for a long time, so when Sarah came along, they were very happy. She was a good student who got straight As and wanted to become a veterinarian. She hadn’t been as interested in dating as other teens, but that soon changed when she met Joshua Camacho at a nearby Chick-fil-A. He worked there, and they fell in love quickly.

But Joshua was bad news, and Sarah, who was madly in love with him, didn’t realize it until it was too late. On April 14, 2009, there was a fight between some teenage girls, and at least one of them had a knife. Several people called 911 to ask the police to stop the fight. Sarah had been stabbed twice with a steak knife that was very sharp. Once in the shoulder and once in the heart. The 18-year-old was rushed to the hospital, where she died a few hours later, around 2:20 am on April 15, 2009. Later, the prosecutors said that the murder weapon was bent because she was stabbed so hard.

Who Killed Sarah Ludemann?

The police didn’t have to look for the killer for long because Sarah Ludemann, who was killed, was able to call Joshua and tell him what had happened. He and other people who were there said that Rachel Marie Wade was the one who stabbed Sarah. When the police came to talk to her about the crime, Rachel broke down when they told her that Sarah had died. By talking to her and other students, investigators were able to piece together what happened last night and what led up to it.

Rachel dropped out of high school when she was 16 and worked as a waitress at Applebee’s. She paid for her own apartment and even got her GED. Her high school yearbook reportedly called her the “biggest flirt.” She was said to have dated a lot of boys, but she was crazy about Joshua, who was smooth-talking but stocky. Police say that Joshua was a “player” who had been seeing Rachel, Sarah, and Erin Slothower at the same time for about eight months. Joshua had already fathered a child with Erin, so Sarah and Rachel fought hard to win Joshua’s love.

It was said that the two teens had been fighting, bothering each other, and leaving each other threatening voicemails. Witnesses said that Sarah and her friends bothered Rachel at her job by following her around, hitting her car on purpose, and shooting Silly String at her. Rachel had even told the police that Sarah was making her feel uncomfortable. She also left voicemails threatening Sarah, and one of them was a big reason why she was found guilty.

Rachel went to Joshua’s house on the night of April 14, 2009, to find him with Sarah. She is said to have told Sarah over the phone, “I’m going to stab you and your Mexican boyfriend,” according to witnesses. Sarah decided to talk to her after she left Joshua’s house and drove her parents’ minivan to Rachel’s house. But Rachel seemed ready for her, and in the fight that followed, she stabbed her.

Where is Rachel Wade at the moment?

Sarah Ludemann’s death was blamed on Rachel Wade. Her lawyer said that she had acted in self-defense when Sarah drove up to her and she almost ran her over. The government said that Rachel started the fight and stabbed Sarah before Sarah even got out of the car. Rachel was found guilty of second-degree murder and given a 27-year prison sentence in September 2010.

Court records show that Rachel is being held in a prison cell at the Florida Women’s Reception Center in Ocala, Florida. She is in her early 30s, and according to her prison records, she won’t get out of jail before September 29, 2032.

What happened to Joshua Camacho?

Joshua Camacho’s parents sent him to New York to live with a relative after the crime caught the attention of the media and the public. But people who knew him say that he was still around and that he even briefly talked to Erin, who was taking care of their baby, after the murder. He stays out of the public eye and doesn’t talk to reporters. The only time he spoke in public was when he testified in Rachel’s trial.

Joshua said that he had never gone out with either of the girls. But in a previous interview with the police, he said that he had broken up with Rachel after hearing rumors that “she was sleeping around.” His friends said that Joshua was “devastated by the tragedy” and that he had never been to see Rachel in prison.

The competition with Sarah Ludemann

Rachel Wade and Sarah Ludemann were both interested in Wade’s ex-boyfriend, Joshua Camacho. This made them romantic rivals. In the first six months of Ludemann’s relationship with Camacho, Wade talked to police officers six times about fights he had with Camacho in public. Wade also got into an argument with Camacho’s child’s mother. Camacho hit Ludemann in the face, which is an act of domestic violence, but Ludemann did not press charges.

Wade insulted Ludemann in the voicemails he left for him. Their fights got violent very quickly. They started to bother each other, and Wade says that Ludemann would come to the Applebee’s where she worked to tease her. Ludemann told police that Wade kept calling her cell phone and leaving threatening voicemails.

Murder

Authorities say that Wade was alone in her apartment on April 14, 2009, waiting for Camacho. Camacho was with Ludemann as they watched a movie. Wade was walking her dog outside when she heard a car honk. Ludemann, she said, yelled, “Stay away from my man!” Wade said that she was scared, so she called an old boyfriend named Javier Laboy. He said she should come to his house. She got her purse, opened a drawer in the kitchen, and took a steak knife out.

Wade went to Camacho’s house at 11 o’clock at night. He was inside with Ludemann playing video games. Wade texted Camacho, “Now I know why you’re not talking to me—because it’s you got her.” Camacho spoke back “You’re right. I don’t like you no more. Why don’t you go home?” Wade responded “No. I’ll wait until she gets home.” Later, witnesses said they heard Wade threaten Ludemann over the speakerphone. “I’ll stab you and your Mexican boyfriend,” I told her. Camacho’s sister asked Ludemann to drive her to McDonald’s right before midnight. At a stop sign, Ludemann saw a friend who told her that Wade was at Javier Laboy’s house. Ludemann chose to talk to her. Wade called her while she was driving and yelled at her “I’ll stick a knife in you! You and your boyfriend from Mexico!” Ludemann went to Javier Laboy’s house and saw Wade talking with him and their friend Dustin Grimes.

Wade said that Ludemann slammed on her brakes, almost hitting him, and then stormed out of the car with her fists flailing. Wade said that she was scared when she stabbed Ludemann in the shoulder and chest, and that one of the blows went right through her heart. But the police and witnesses for the prosecution said that Ludemann didn’t get a chance to leave the van and that Wade was the one who came up to Ludemann and attacked him. Ludemann was badly hurt and holding her chest. She called Camacho to tell him what had happened. Camacho ran to Ludemann’s house to tell her father. They both got there by car. Witnesses say that right after Wade stabbed the man, he calmly threw the knife over a neighbor’s house and said, “I’m done.” Ludemann died at a hospital after having his heart pierced. He was pronounced dead at 2:20 a.m. the next day.

When the police showed up, Wade and the other people there were questioned. When they told her that Ludemann had died, she started to cry. Wade was arrested hours later and charged with second-degree murder. She was put in the Pinellas County Jail with a bond of $500,000. She stayed there until the court case was over.

Trial and sentence

The trial, which began on July 20, 2010, when the jury was chosen, was shown on TruTV’s In Session. CNN gave a live internet stream every day after 3 p.m., when TV coverage ended. From July 21 to July 23, three days of testimony were given. The history between the two was brought up by the prosecutors to show that Wade planned to kill her rival over Camacho. The defense used Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law to claim self-defense. Wade’s lawyer, Jay Hebert, said that Ludemann was very angry and that Wade was scared because Ludemann was bigger and there were more of them than there were of her. Hebert talked about the time at Applebee’s when Ludemann and her friends knocked over Wade’s tray, sang Girlfight at karaoke, and teased her. He also said that the two girls had fought and pulled each other’s hair before the stabbing. Camacho, his sister, and Dustin Grimes were the people who testified for the prosecution. Javier spoke in Javier’s defense. Javier said that the two got into a fight, but he said he didn’t see much of it. Grimes and Camacho’s sister both said that Wade walked up to the car and stabbed Ludemann. The jury listened to the voicemails that Wade left for Ludemann eight months ago, in which she said she was going to kill her. This led the jury of five men and one woman to find her guilty of murder in the second degree in just two and a half hours.

Rachel Wade was given a sentence of 27 years in state prison on September 3, 2010. The judge said he thought Wade was planning to kill Ludemann. Wade said she acted in self-defense and tried to get her case changed. In an interview with ABC News in March 2011, she said that she thought social media played a big role in the rivalry and murder. She said that people can say whatever they want on social media with almost no consequences. Charlie Ludemann, Sarah’s father, sued Wade in civil court in April 2011. Wade lost her case on February 17, 2012. Lowell Correctional Institution is where she lives.
