Female killers tell Piers their stories
KILLER WOMEN WITH PIERS MORGAN ITV, Thursday, 9pm
IN THIS second series Piers Morgan meets five more of America’s most notorious female murderers in a quest to discover what drives a woman to kill.
Piers interviews these convicted female murderers in the high-security prisons they now call home. Coming face to face with the women behind these unspeakable crimes, Piers delves into each complex case to uncover the truth and gain insight into whether justice has been served.
He meets the people whose lives have been touched by the crimes, to shed light on the truth behind the shocking headlines. Piers speaks to the investigators and lawyers who worked to bring the killers to justice and those who believe in their innocence. In moving encounters, he meets family and friends to find out how their lives have been shaken by these shocking crimes.
In the first episode, Piers travels to Lowell Correctional Institution in Florida to meet Rebecca Fenton, found guilty of the murder of her husband Larry, who was found dead in their home, shot multiple times. Rebecca claims she had no reason to kill him – but unless she can clear her name, she will stay in prison for the rest of her life.
In a remarkable encounter with Piers, Rebecca seems to have an answer for everything and in a fascinating game of cat-and-mouse, he attempts to determine if Rebecca really did gun down her husband at point-blank range.
Is Rebecca a “cold, calculating murderess” and “the best liar” Piers has ever met, or is she innocent and the victim of an appalling miscarriage of justice?
