Ep 3. Heather Kamp & Ethan Mack

Heather Kamp and Ethan Mack's relationship started as a fairy tale romance, but it quickly turned into a nightmare that ended with two people dead. In season 16 episode 3 of Snapped: Killer Couples, we delve into the disturbing details of their tragic story.

Heather and Ethan met in 2010 and fell head over heels in love. They moved in together and soon got engaged. On the surface, they seemed like the perfect couple – happy, successful, and in love. But beneath the surface, their relationship was far from perfect.

Ethan was a successful businessman, but he had a dark side. He was controlling, possessive, and had a violent temper. Heather was a kind and gentle woman, but she was also deeply troubled. She struggled with addiction and had a history of mental health issues.

Despite their problems, Heather and Ethan decided to get married in 2012. But their relationship continued to deteriorate. Ethan's temper got worse, and he began lashing out at Heather verbally and physically. Heather, in turn, began using drugs again.

In August of 2014, Ethan's behavior took a horrifying turn. He was convinced that Heather was cheating on him, and he went on a rampage. He hit her, threatened her with a knife, and even held her captive in their home.

Fearing for her life, Heather finally confessed to an affair with a man named Aaron Lilly. The confession did little to placate Ethan, who continued to abuse her both physically and emotionally.

On August 27th, 2014, Heather and Aaron decided to flee together. They packed Heather's things and were on their way out of town when Ethan caught up with them. He followed them onto the highway and rammed their car with his own.

After the accident, Ethan shot and killed Aaron before turning the gun on Heather. Miraculously, Heather survived the attack and was able to get help. Ethan was arrested and charged with two counts of murder.

Throughout the trial, Ethan insisted that he was acting in self-defense when he killed Aaron. He also claimed that Heather was a drug-addled liar who had made up the affair to hurt him.

But the evidence presented at the trial told a different story. Witnesses testified to Ethan's violent behavior, and Heather herself testified to the abuse she had suffered at his hands.

In the end, Ethan was found guilty of both murders and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Heather, meanwhile, struggled to rebuild her life in the aftermath of the horrific events she had survived.

Snapped: Killer Couples season 16 episode 3 explores the abusive relationship of Heather Kamp and Ethan Mack, and the tragic ending that came from it. The episode tells the story of their relationship, the abuse that was inflicted upon Heather, and the ultimate outcome of their toxic marriage.
