Ep 6. Denise Bozarth

In season 15 episode 6 of Snapped, titled Denise Bozarth, viewers follow the gripping story of a woman who seemed to have everything going for her until things took a shocking turn.

Denise Bozarth had a successful career, a loving husband, and three children. She appeared to be a devoted mother, always putting her children first. However, in the early morning hours on July 25, 2007, her husband, 43-year-old Kevin Bozarth, was found dead in their home.

Denise immediately became a person of interest in the investigation. The police discovered that Kevin had been shot multiple times with a .22-caliber gun, and they found no signs of forced entry. Initially, Denise claimed that she had been sleeping with two of her children when she heard a noise and went to investigate, only to find her husband dead on the living room floor.

However, as the investigation continued, Denise's story began to unravel. She was found to have been having an affair with her boss, 38-year-old Steve Stevenson, and phone records showed that she had been in frequent contact with him on the night of the murder.

The police also discovered that Denise had purchased a .22-caliber gun just two months prior to the murder, and ballistics tests confirmed that it was the same gun that killed Kevin. In addition, investigators found a blueprint of the Bozarth's home in Denise's car, leading them to believe that she had planned the murder.

As the evidence mounted, Denise was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Her trial was highly publicized and garnered a lot of attention.

During the trial, the prosecution argued that Denise had killed her husband so that she could collect on his life insurance policy and be with Steve Stevenson. They also presented evidence that Denise had previously expressed a desire to kill her husband and that she had urged Steve Stevenson to do it for her.

Denise's defense argued that she had no motive to kill her husband and that she was a loving wife and mother. They also suggested that Kevin may have been killed as part of a drug deal gone wrong.

Ultimately, the jury found Denise guilty of first-degree murder, and she was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Throughout the episode, viewers are taken through the investigation and trial, seeing the evidence and hearing from those involved in the case. The episode provides a chilling look at the lengths people will go to for money and love and the devastating effects those actions can have.
