Ep 12. Murder In The Cards

In Fatal Vows season 4 episode 12, titled "Murder In The Cards," we are taken through the story of a couple, Janene and Troy, whose love for each other seemed perfect on the surface, but underneath lay a dark secret that would ultimately lead to murder.

Janene and Troy met while they were both in college, and quickly fell in love. The two were inseparable and eventually got married. As they settled into their life together, Janene began to notice that Troy had a problem with gambling. He spent a lot of their money on it, and it was causing strain on their marriage.

Janene tried to get Troy to stop gambling, but he refused. Matters took a turn for the worse when she found out that he had borrowed $23,000 from her family without telling her, and used it to pay off his gambling debts.

Janene was devastated. She felt betrayed, but she was still in love with Troy. She began to work more, hoping to make up for the financial mess that Troy had created. As time passed, Janene slowly started to pull away from Troy emotionally.

One night, while they were playing cards together, Janene decided to confront Troy about his gambling problem once again. The conversation quickly turned heated and ended with Troy leaving the house in anger.

The next day, Janene was found dead in her home. She had been brutally attacked, and it was clear that it was not a random act of violence. The police immediately suspected Troy, as there was evidence that he had been at the scene of the crime that night.

As the investigation got underway, it became clear that Troy had a motive for killing Janene. Her death would have freed him from a lot of financial pressure, and also from the emotional turmoil of their marriage. The police believed that Troy killed Janene in a fit of rage, during their argument about his gambling problem.

Despite all the evidence against him, Troy maintained his innocence. He claimed that he had been out all night when Janene was killed, but there was no one who could confirm his alibi. Troy was eventually arrested and put on trial for Janene's murder. The trial lasted for several months, and in the end, Troy was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.

"Murder In The Cards" is a gripping episode of Fatal Vows that takes us through the tragic story of a marriage that went terribly wrong. It serves as a stark reminder of how secrets and lies can fester in a relationship and ultimately lead to disastrous consequences.
