Ep 14. Kelly Harrod

Kelly Harrod had the perfect life. She had a loving husband, two beautiful children, and a successful business. But one day, everything changed. On October 3, 2014, police found Kelly's husband, Todd Harrod, dead in their home. He had been shot in the head. At first, investigators thought it was a burglary gone wrong, but as they dug deeper, they realized that the evidence pointed to someone much closer to Todd than a random intruder. And that someone was Kelly.

In this episode of Snapped, we delve into the case of Kelly Harrod and the events that led up to her husband's murder. As friends and family members recount their interactions with the couple, a picture of a troubled marriage emerges. Todd had a history of infidelity, and Kelly had recently discovered that he was having an affair with a much younger woman. On the night of the murder, Todd and Kelly had a heated argument, which ended with Kelly storming out of the house.

Police soon discovered that Kelly had purchased a gun several months prior to the murder. She had claimed that it was for protection, but the timing of the purchase and Todd's death made investigators suspicious. They also found evidence that Kelly had searched the internet for information on how to commit the perfect murder. As the evidence stacked up against her, Kelly was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

Throughout the trial, Kelly maintained her innocence, claiming that she had nothing to do with her husband's death. She pointed to the lack of physical evidence connecting her to the crime and argued that the prosecution's case relied heavily on circumstantial evidence. But prosecutors painted a different picture, one of a woman pushed to the brink by her husband's infidelity and lies. They argued that Kelly had planned the murder meticulously, buying the gun and researching murder techniques, before executing her plan on the night of October 3rd.

As the trial came to a close, the jury was left to decide whether Kelly was guilty of murder. In the end, they found her guilty and she was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The case of Kelly Harrod is a tragic reminder of how far some people will go when pushed to the edge. It also raises questions about what drives people to commit murder and how we can prevent such tragedies from happening in the future.

Overall, this episode of Snapped is a gripping look at the case of Kelly Harrod and the events that led up to her husband's murder. Through interviews with family members, friends, and investigators, we get a detailed picture of the couple's troubled marriage and the circumstances that ultimately led to Todd's death.
