Plot Synopsis

Using re-enactments and first-person interviews, SCORNED: LOVE KILLS uncovers the dark side of love with a voyeuristic peek into the lust and obsession that fueled some of the most senseless, but definitely not emotionless, crimes to make front-page headlines. The love crimes include everything from dalliances to love triangles: in Fayetteville, NC, David and Joan Shannon hid a secret double life as members of an underground swingers' club when Joan fell in love with another swinger and pressured her 15-year-old daughter to murder her stepfather before David could kill her new love; in Philadelphia, PA, Craig and Stefanie Rabinowitz led a charmed life until Craig fell for a high-end strip-club dancer and later made a frantic 911 call to report finding Stefanie dead of an apparent accidental drowning -- except she showed signs of strangulation; in Winston-Salem, NC, Renee Poole grew tired of her house-wife life with her high-school sweetheart Brent and took a job as a dancer at the local gentleman's club, where she fell in love with another man and Brent was soon gunned down on his wedding anniversary; in Derry, NH, Pamela Smart, who grew tired of her husband Gregg's new corporate lifestyle, seduced her 15-year-old student, Billy Flynn, and instructed Billy and his accomplices to stage a burglary as cover, leading to murderous consequences; and many more stories of love, lust and obsession that has fueled horrible crimes.
