Raynella Leath was a well-respected nurse practitioner, devoted wife, and loving mother of two. However, her seemingly perfect life was shattered when her second husband, David, was found dead on their farm in Knoxville, Tennessee. At first, it appeared to be a tragic accident, but when investigators began to look closer, they found inconsistencies with Raynella's story.
In this episode of Snapped, we follow the investigation into David's death and the shocking accusations against Raynella. The evidence against her was compelling, including allegations that she had multiple affairs, had an interest in poisons, and had a financial motive to want David dead. Additionally, when investigators exhumed the body of Raynella's first husband, Ed Dossett, they found he had also died under suspicious circumstances.
Throughout the episode, we see interviews with Raynella's friends and family, along with law enforcement officials and prosecutors involved in the case. We learn about the history of the Leath family and the relationships between Raynella and her husbands. We also hear the testimony from witnesses at trial, including the man who claimed to have supplied Raynella with the poison she allegedly used to kill David.
As the evidence against Raynella mounted, she maintained her innocence, and her defense team fought hard to prove her case. The trial was filled with tense moments and unexpected twists, as both sides presented their arguments. In the end, the jury had to decide whether Raynella was a devoted wife and mother wrongly accused of a terrible crime or a cold-blooded killer willing to do anything to get what she wanted.
This episode of Snapped takes viewers on a dramatic journey through a complex case that shocked a rural Tennessee community. With compelling interviews, stunning footage, and new insights into the investigation and trial, viewers will be on the edge of their seats as they try to determine the truth behind the accusations against Raynella Leath.
