Ep 24. Neola Robinson

Neola Robinson was a devout church-goer, a dedicated mother, and a loving wife. She was a hardworking nurse with a passion for helping others. Her life seemed picture-perfect, but behind closed doors she harbored a dark secret that would ultimately lead her to commit a heinous crime.

In this episode of Snapped, viewers are taken on a journey of Neola Robinson's life as a Texas woman who appeared to have it all together. One day, tragedy struck when Neola's husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the family was forced to face the reality of his impending death.

As her husband's health rapidly declined, Neola began to struggle with the prospect of being alone. She sought comfort in her faith and the church community, but it wasn't enough. She became increasingly isolated, and her mental state began to deteriorate.

Eventually, Neola met a man named Richard Robinson, who was also going through a difficult time. The two bonded over their shared experiences, and before long they were in a relationship. Richard moved in with Neola and her family, and they appeared to be happy. However, things quickly took a dark turn.

Neola became possessive and jealous, often accusing Richard of infidelity. She also began to alienate herself from her family and friends, choosing instead to spend all of her time with Richard. Neola's behavior became increasingly erratic, and her family began to worry for her safety.

One day, Neola decided to take matters into her own hands. She made a plan to kill her husband and make it look like a suicide. On the night of the murder, Neola called the police, claiming that she had found her husband dead in their home.

However, investigators quickly discovered discrepancies in Neola's story. They learned of her affair with Richard, and eventually, Neola confessed to the crime. She was arrested and charged with murder.

Throughout the trial, Neola maintained her innocence, claiming that she had only killed her husband to end his suffering and spare him from the pain of his illness. However, the evidence against her was overwhelming, and she was ultimately found guilty of murder.

Neola was sentenced to life in prison, where she remains to this day. Her story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked jealousy and possessiveness, and the tragic consequences that can result.

In this episode of Snapped, viewers will hear from Neola's family members, friends, and law enforcement officials who were involved in the case. Through their testimony, viewers will gain insight into the mind of a woman who, despite appearing to have it all, ultimately succumbed to the darkest aspects of human nature.
