In Evil Lives Here season 11 episode 8, entitled "Divorce? Never. Murder? Maybe.," viewers are introduced to the story of Cynthia and Scott Svenson, a seemingly normal couple who, over the course of their marriage, became consumed with jealousy and ultimately led to a deadly outcome.
Cynthia and Scott's relationship began as many do, with love and excitement about their future. However, as time progressed, Cynthia became increasingly jealous and paranoid about Scott's interactions with other women. This jealousy was coupled with a deep-seated fear of losing Scott, which led her to make drastic and ultimately deadly decisions.
Viewers are given a glimpse into the couple's life through interviews with Cynthia's loved ones, including her sister and daughter, who describe her growing obsession with Scott and her irrational behavior. Cynthia's sister recounts instances where Cynthia would hire private investigators to follow Scott and would become enraged when they found nothing incriminating.
As Scott attempted to distance himself from Cynthia's controlling behavior, she became more and more desperate. In a shocking twist, Cynthia began to plot her own murder in order to frame Scott for the crime. She enlisted the help of a man named Tim, promising him a large sum of money in exchange for his assistance.
Tragically, Cynthia's plan went awry, and Scott was not the victim of her plotted murder. Instead, during an altercation between Scott, Cynthia, and Tim, Tim was killed. Cynthia attempted to cover up the crime by dismembering Tim's body and stashing the remains in garbage bags throughout the city.
As the police investigation unfolded, Cynthia's true nature was revealed. Her loved ones struggled to come to terms with the fact that someone they once knew so well was capable of such heinous acts. Cynthia was eventually sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Tim, leaving behind a shattered family and unanswered questions about how a seemingly normal marriage could descend into such darkness.
