Charlton, who reportedly had been dating Ingrid Lyne for a month, has been charged with first-degree murder in her death. Authorities say Lyne was murdered and her body was dismembered and subsequently disposed in the trash.

Charlton is currently in jail on a $2 million bond and faces at least 28 years in prison if convicted.

"It makes my skin crawl. It makes me sick. I regret not saying anything to anybody. I didn't even tell my own mom. The least I could have done is tell somebody," said Danishefsky.

Danishefsky tells her story of her relationship with Charlton, her allegations of his controlling behavior, the emotional abuse she claims she suffered and how he allegedly choked her twice. She claims that Charlton had a secret dark side which she says made her not surprised to hear he was a suspect in the murder. Also, find out about the surprising photo Danishefsky took of Charlton and the blanket her daughter keeps as a reminder of Charlton.
