LOIS REISS MURDERS HER HUSBAND AND STEALS $100,000 FROM HER PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY IMPAIRED SISTER

From the outside, David and Lois Reiss' marriage seemed idyllic. However, their quiet life in the countryside was far from perfect as Lois concealed a serious gambling addiction. She stole over $100,000 from her cognitively impaired sister, taking advantage of her position as her guardian. When David learned about his wife's financial situation, their relationship began to crumble, leading to frequent heated arguments.

Lois murdered her husband and fled the state but not before forging his signature to transfer an additional $11,000 to her own account. She befriended a woman named Pamela Hutchinson, and the two appeared to be best friends until Lois also shot and killed her. She stole her credit cards and attempted to evade the police by committing identity theft, starting a new life as Pamela Hutchinson.

MELANIE CLARK HAS AN AFFAIR WITH HER CONTROL-FREAK HUSBAND'S FRIEND'S DAUGHTER

David and Melanie Clark had ironically witnessed too much crime in their home country of South Africa, so they decided to move to a small town in Worcestershire in search of a quieter life. Melanie already had four children from a previous marriage, and her new husband often tried to exert control over their new family.

The couple had, to put it mildly, a difficult relationship with each other. One night, Melanie had a sexual encounter with the daughter of one of David's best friends. He found out and tried to humiliate Melanie by sending messages to various family members. However, surprisingly, no one responded to the texts, prompting him to seek revenge in another way. David killed Melanie and then called the police, saying, "I killed my wife. I love her, I hate her. I'm going to kill myself."

DENISE WILLIAMS LET THE POLICE BELIEVE ALLIGATORS ATE HER HUSBAND FOR OVER 20 YEARS

Mike Williams was an experienced duck hunter until one day when he went hunting and never returned. His wife, Denise, alerted the police, but despite an intensive search, his body was never found. It was assumed that Mike had drowned, and many people believed alligators must have consumed his remains. However, the truth came to light 20 years later.

Denise had moved on and married Brian Winchester, Mike's best friend. After seven years of marriage, their relationship slowly unraveled. Brian couldn't accept this and kidnapped Denise at gunpoint while she was driving. He was arrested and brought to trial. In a final twist, Brian struck a deal with the prosecution and stated that Denise had planned Mike's murder to collect the insurance money and pursue a new relationship.

GEORGE WORGAN LEFT AN OMINOUS MESSAGE FOR HIS CHILDREN AFTER KILLING THEIR MOTHER

Social media is rarely an accurate representation of a person's life. In this case, George and Kelly Worgan wanted to portray the image of a perfect family to their friends and relatives. However, behind the scenes, they faced all sorts of problems. On what appeared to be a normal day, the police found Kelly strangled in their living room. With no signs of forced entry, there was only one suspect.

Furthermore, investigators discovered a hastily written note: "No more suffering, I was pushed too far this time." George seemingly held Kelly responsible for her own death. He also included a message telling his children that he loves them. After a chase that spanned nearly 500 kilometers, George was apprehended. It later became known that he had taken a large quantity of antidepressants and paracetamol.

MALCOLM WEBSTER POISONS TWO OF HIS WIVES BEFORE SUSPICION ARISES

Claire's family believed Malcolm to be the perfect husband, so they didn't think much of it when she moved from London to rural Scotland because of him. However, he was incredibly controlling, had taken out multiple life insurance policies on his wife, and had a history of pyromania and hypochondria. He began supplying Claire with drugs, and her health deteriorated rapidly.

In a calculated move, Malcolm drugged Claire and drove to the countryside to stage a car accident. He poured gasoline into the car, set it on fire, and burned Claire alive. Just six months later, Malcolm married another woman named Felicity and planned to murder her in the same way. As he drove unconscious Felicity to the location of her "crash," her phone rang, waking her up and saving her life.
