Ep 2. Leslie & Mike MacKool

Leslie & Mike MacKool, the second episode of Killer Couples Season 7, explores the dark and twisted relationship between Leslie and Mike, who committed a series of heinous crimes including murder and fraud.

At first, Leslie and Mike appeared to be the perfect couple. They had a beautiful home, successful businesses, and were adored by their community. However, their facade soon crumbled when their illegal activities were brought to light.

Leslie, a former beauty queen, and Mike, a successful businessman, appeared to have it all. But behind closed doors, their relationship was far from perfect. Leslie had a troubled past, having been previously married and divorced twice before meeting Mike. She was also addicted to prescription drugs and suffered from severe depression.

Mike, on the other hand, was a serial philanderer who had committed fraud and embezzlement in the past. He saw Leslie as a way to climb the social ladder and boost his own business ventures. The couple began a whirlwind romance, and Mike's business soared thanks to Leslie's connections in the community.

Their criminal activities began with fraud, as they embezzled money from their businesses and lied about their income on loan applications. However, their crimes soon turned violent. In 2015, they were involved in a car accident that left a woman dead. Rather than report the incident, they fled the scene and left the woman to die.

Leslie and Mike's crimes continued to escalate, including a scheme to steal millions of dollars from investors by falsely claiming to have discovered a new cancer treatment. They also committed fraud by selling fake stock in their business.

But their most heinous crime was the murder of Mike's ex-wife, Sandy. Sandy had been awarded custody of their three children and had filed multiple lawsuits against Mike over unpaid child support. She also threatened to reveal his criminal activities to the authorities.

In a fit of rage, Mike convinced Leslie to help him murder Sandy. The couple hired a hitman and orchestrated the murder, making it look like a suicide. However, law enforcement soon caught wind of the couple's activities and launched an investigation.

Leslie and Mike were eventually arrested, and their trial captivated the nation. The couple tried to blame each other for their crimes, but both were ultimately convicted and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The Leslie & Mike MacKool episode of Killer Couples Season 7 takes a deep dive into the couple's complicated and twisted relationship. It explores the motives behind their crimes and the impact they had on those around them. Viewers will be shocked and horrified by the actions of the couple, and fascinated by the details of their trial.
