Ep 2. Behind Closed Doors

Behind Closed Doors is the second episode of season 6 of the true crime TV series Fatal Vows. The episode features the harrowing story of a woman named Jeanette Kirby, who was brutally murdered by her husband, David Kirby, in their home in a small town in Missouri.

Jeanette and David Kirby had been married for 14 years and had two children together. On the outside, their marriage appeared to be a happy one, but behind closed doors, things were much different.

David was described as a controlling and jealous husband who had a history of abusing Jeanette. He would often accuse her of cheating on him and would keep a close eye on her at all times. He also isolated her from her family and friends, making it difficult for her to seek help.

Despite the abuse, Jeanette remained in the marriage and tried to make things work for the sake of their children. However, things took a dark turn on June 10, 2010, when David brutally murdered his wife.

The episode explores the events leading up to Jeanette's death, including the couple's turbulent relationship and David's increasing paranoia. It also features interviews with family members and law enforcement officials who worked on the case.

As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that David had carefully planned out the murder, even going so far as to plant evidence to make it appear as if someone else had committed the crime. However, forensic evidence eventually led to his arrest and conviction.

Behind Closed Doors is a chilling episode that highlights the dangers of domestic abuse and the devastating consequences that can result from a toxic relationship. It serves as a reminder to viewers to look out for the signs of abuse and to seek help if they or someone they know is in a similar situation.
