Each year, approximately 16,000 people are murdered in the United States. 7% of the killers are women. Each episode of Snapped chronicles the life of a woman who has been charged with murder. Did they really do it? If they did, why? Whether the motivation was revenge against a cheating husband, the promise of a hefty insurance payoff, or putting an end to years of abuse, the reasons are as varied as the women themselves. These shocking but true stories turn common assumptions about crime and criminals upside down, and prove that even the most unlikely suspects can be capable of murder. From socialites to secretaries, female killers share one thing in common: at some point, they all snapped.
