Ep 21. Betty Neumar

Betty Neumar was a seemingly sweet and innocent 76-year-old grandmother in North Carolina, but behind closed doors, she had a dark secret. In episode 21 of Snapped's 26th season, the show explores how this seemingly unassuming woman became a killer.

Betty had been married five times throughout her life, and each marriage ended in either divorce or the death of her husband. However, it wasn't until her fifth husband, Harold Gentry, was found dead in their home that police began to suspect foul play. He had been shot in the back of the head while he was sleeping.

As investigators dug deeper into the case, they began to uncover a web of lies and deception. They discovered that Betty had a previous husband who had also died under mysterious circumstances and that she had collected large sums of money from his life insurance policy. They also found evidence that she had attempted to hire hitmen to kill at least two other men in her life.

During the trial, the prosecution argued that Betty was a black widow who used her charm and looks to lure in wealthy men and then poison or kill them for their money. The defense, on the other hand, claimed that Betty was an innocent victim of circumstance and that there was no evidence linking her to the murder of her husband.

The trial was filled with shocking revelations and unexpected twists and turns that kept viewers on the edge of their seats. However, in the end, the jury found Betty guilty of first-degree murder and she was sentenced to life in prison.

Snapped's season 26 episode 21 provides a fascinating look into the mind of a serial killer and how they can operate undetected for years. The show raises important questions about the criminal justice system and how easy it can be for someone to get away with murder if they are careful and cunning enough. With gripping storytelling and expert analysis, this episode is a must-watch for any true crime fan.
