New Florence, MO, 2017: Missouri snake breeder Ben Renick, age 29, is building an empire as a world-renowned breeder of exotic snakes. He has fame, fortune and a young family to share it with, but little does he know, someone he loves is hatching a venomous plot. He was found dead on June 8, 2017. Investigators initially suspected one of his prized serpents had killed him, but after their investigation, they discovered that something or someone more heinous was responsible. In the end, almost three years after Ben Renick's murder, Ben's wife Lynlee Renick and her ex-boyfriend, Michael Humphrey, were arrested for Ben's murder. After their arrests, Lynlee and Humphrey both blamed the other one for firing the fatal shots. The two conspirators were both found guilty of second-degree murder by the jury. Humphrey was sentenced to life in prison, and Lynlee was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
