Ep 3. Gambling Lives Away

In the third episode of season nine of Deadly Women, entitled "Gambling Lives Away," the show delves into three distinct cases where the love of money and addiction to gambling leads women down a dark and deadly path.

The first case explores the story of Jane Andrews, a former dresser and friend of the Duchess of York, who became obsessed with gambling and developed a dangerous delusion that she was in a secret, romantic relationship with the high-stakes gambler, Dodi Fayed. When Fayed cuts off Andrews' financial support, she spirals out of control, leading to a brutal and savage murder that shocked the UK and the world.

The second case is about the life and crimes of Linda Couch, a Las Vegas cocktail waitress who becomes addicted to gambling and risk-taking behavior. Desperate to fuel her addiction, Couch turns to robbery, targeting casinos and high rollers. Her crimes escalate in violence and danger until she's finally caught.

The final case looks at the shocking story of Amy Bosley, a loving wife and mother who dabbles in gambling to help her family out of financial struggles. Her addiction, however, quickly spirals out of control, and she embezzles over two million dollars from her employer to fund her habit. When she's finally caught, Bosley resorts to extreme measures to protect herself, including hiring hitmen to take out witnesses and anyone who could testify against her.

Throughout the episode, viewers are offered a glimpse into the psychology and motivations behind the women's deadly actions and the impact their schemes had on their victims and loved ones. The show expertly weaves together interviews with law enforcement officials, family members, and true crime experts to create a compelling and thought-provoking narrative. The episode sheds light on the darkest parts of human nature and explores the dangerous consequences that arise when gambling addiction takes hold.
