Ep 10. Alice and Gerald Uden

Alice and Gerald Uden are the focus of this episode of Snapped: Killer Couples. The couple, who met in Wyoming in the 1970s, seem like an ordinary, loving pair. However, their pasts hold dark secrets that eventually lead them to commit separate murders years apart.

Alice was always known as a sweet and caring person by her family and friends, but after marrying her first husband, Richard, things started to change. Richard was an alcoholic and abusive to Alice, eventually leading her to shoot and kill him in their home. She claimed it was self-defense, but the evidence didn't add up and Alice was sent to jail for 10 years.

Meanwhile, Gerald married his first wife, Mary. They had a tumultuous relationship and Mary eventually left him and moved to another state with their two children. Gerald fought for custody but lost, and Mary cut off all communication with him. In 1974, Mary and her children suddenly went missing, and Gerald was the prime suspect. However, without any concrete evidence, he was never charged with their disappearance.

Years later, Alice and Gerald met and fell in love. They moved to a remote area in Missouri, where they lived a quiet life. However, in 1980, Alice's parole officer discovered that she was married to a convicted felon. This led Alice to confess to the murder of her first husband, Richard, and she was sent back to prison. Gerald was left alone in their home.

In 1985, a hunter stumbled upon a barrel in the woods that contained the remains of Mary, Gerald's first wife, and their two children. Forensic evidence eventually led back to Gerald, who was charged with their murders. He was already in jail for unrelated crimes, so he was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

The episode delves into the backstories of these two killers and the events that led up to their crimes. Interviews with friends and family of both Alice and Gerald shed light on their personalities and the shocking revelations that came after their arrests. The show also explores the investigations and trials that followed.
