In Snapped season 28 episode 5, titled "Letti Strait," viewers are introduced to the case of a woman named Letti Strait who was accused of killing her husband, Alan Strait. The episode delves into the events leading up to the murder, the investigation, trial, and eventual conviction of Letti.
As the episode opens, viewers learn that Letti and Alan had been married for 20 years, and appeared to have a perfect life. However, that all changed in December 2012 when Alan was found dead in their home. Police were called to the scene and discovered that Alan had been shot multiple times.
The investigation quickly focused on Letti, who seemed to be the only person with a motive to kill Alan. According to friends and family, the couple's marriage had become strained in the months leading up to the murder, with Letti accusing Alan of having an affair.
As the investigation continued, police found evidence that Letti had purchased the gun used to kill Alan, and had even searched the internet for information on how to commit the perfect murder. However, Letti maintained her innocence, telling police that she was at work at the time of the murder.
The case went to trial in 2015, where prosecutors presented a compelling case against Letti, including evidence of her Google searches for murder tips, her purchase of the gun, and testimony from friends and family about the state of her marriage. However, Letti's defense argued that there was no direct evidence tying her to the crime, and that the prosecution's case relied too heavily on circumstantial evidence.
In the end, the jury found Letti guilty of first-degree murder and she was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The episode concludes with a discussion of the impact this case had on the local community, and the lasting impact it had on Letti's family.
Overall, Snapped season 28 episode 5 provides a detailed look at the events leading up to the murder, the investigation, trial, and eventual conviction of Letti Strait. Through interviews with friends, family, and law enforcement officials, viewers gain a greater understanding of the case and the impact it had on all involved.
