Bricen Rivers nearly beat his girlfriend to death in their car in Nashville while on a romantic weekend getaway.

Jailed with bond set high enough so he couldn’t get out, his victim, Lauren Johansen, is recovering in Mississippi when a judge lowers River’s bond, and lets him out to finish what he started.

On this episode of “Body Bags,” Joseph Scott Morgan will explain the horrible injuries Lauren sustained in the first beating in Nashville, while Dave Mack breaks down the backstory on the relationship that was so toxic, Lauren Johansen winds up dead in the back of her own car in the middle of a cemetery.
