Ep 7. Laurie Jean Cone

Laurie Jean Cone was a beautiful and successful real estate agent in the small town of Huntsville, Alabama. She had a loving husband, a beautiful home, and two children that she adored. But behind closed doors, Laurie was struggling with a dark secret that would ultimately lead to her downfall.

In the early morning hours of September 20th, 2004, Laurie called 911 to report that she had been brutally attacked in her home. When the police arrived, they found Laurie lying on the floor, barely conscious and covered in blood.

Initially, investigators believed that Laurie had been the victim of a random home invasion. But as they dug deeper, they began to uncover evidence that suggested that Laurie's injuries may have been the result of a staged attack.

As the investigation continued, authorities began to piece together the events that led up to the attack. They discovered that Laurie had been having an affair with one of her clients, a married man named Glenn Turner.

Glenn was a wealthy businessman who had hired Laurie to help him sell a piece of property that he owned. The two quickly became involved in a passionate affair, despite the fact that both were married to other people.

But when Glenn's wife discovered the affair, she filed for divorce and threatened to take everything he had. In an effort to protect his assets, Glenn began plotting to kill his wife and make it look like a home invasion.

According to authorities, Glenn recruited Laurie to help him carry out his plan. They allege that Laurie helped Glenn gather supplies and gather information about his wife's routine.

On the night of the attack, Laurie let Glenn into her home and he proceeded to attack her, making it look like a home invasion gone wrong. But when the plan fell apart and Laurie survived the attack, Glenn panicked and fled the scene.

After a lengthy investigation, Glenn and Laurie were both arrested and charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder. In the end, Glenn was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, while Laurie was given a sentence of 20 years.

The case of Laurie Jean Cone is a tragic example of how even the most successful and seemingly put-together individuals can be taken down by their own secrets and desires. Through interviews with friends, family members, and investigators, this episode of Snapped delves deep into the mindset of a woman who was willing to risk everything for love.
