Summary

Many of the stories we cover revolve around the disintegration of a marriage. It’s often a deeply traumatic event, upending entire lives and making an imagined future just vanish into nothing. It can drive some people kind of crazy. But other people are just built differently, and can move effortlessly from one marriage to the next as easily as changing a pair of socks. The woman in this week’s case certainly could do that, and she took that same casual attitude into matters of life and death.

It's often a deeply traumatic event, upending entire lives and making an imagined future just vanish into nothing.

It can drive some people kind of crazy.

But other people are just built differently and can move effortlessly from one marriage to the next as easily as changing a pair of socks. The woman in this week's case certainly could do that, and she took that same casual attitude into matters of life and death. This is Red Weddings, theimes of Jill Coit.

So, campers, for this one, were in the Colorado Ski Resort Town of Steamboat Springs, October 23, 1993.

1:11.9

Douglas Boggs was worried.

1:16.6

His brother Jerry hadn't shown up for work at the family business, Boggs Hardware,

brother on the phone, so he drove to his house on Hillside Court West, a quiet cul-de-sac on the

1:40.1

edge of town. He found that the back door was open and inside there was an awful scene.

1:46.7

Jerry Boggs lay dead on the floor of the kitchen, a thick pool of blood underneath him,

1:51.4

and spatters of blood all across the floor and walls. Douglas, frantic, called 911, and in the

1:58.0

call he made it clear who he thought was responsible for this horrible crime.

2:02.3

It was Jill, he said. Jill must have done this. It's probably easiest to describe Jill as Jerry's

2:09.5

ex-wife, although in fact their marriage had been legally invalidated due to the minor

2:14.3

inconvenience of her already being married at the time.

2:18.8

Ooh, whoops.

2:19.9
