Snapped Daphne Wright and Darlene Vander Giesen

Status: Incarcerated 

In season 5, episode 11 the murder of her ex-girlfriend, Darlene Vander Giesen, by Daphne Wright is shown. This murder occurred in the state of South Dakota. Oxygen describes this episode of Snapped as Daphne Wright kills her ex-girlfriend's friend in February 2006 and then dismembers her body with a chainsaw.



Daphne Wright was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

Wright became jealous of VanderGiesen and thought that VanderGiesen was trying to destroy Wright's relationship with Collins.   On February 1, 2006, Wright met VanderGiesen at a Pizza Hut restaurant ostensibly to plan a Valentine's Day surprise for Collins.   VanderGiesen was never seen again.   Two days after the meeting, VanderGiesen's father reported that his daughter was missing.   The next day, police found VanderGiesen's vehicle abandoned in the Pizza Hut parking lot.   VanderGiesen's car keys, house keys, wallet, and identification were missing.   Police also found clothing matching the description of what VanderGiesen had been wearing on the last day she had been seen.

Detectives examined VanderGiesen's computer and cell phone text messages.   Detectives also obtained information from related communication companies, which led police to VanderGiesen's friends in the deaf community.   Both sources of information eventually led police to Chesmore's home.   The investigators found that e-mails had been sent from Chesmore's computer to VanderGiesen's computer under the user name “Wendy.”   The e-mails advised VanderGiesen to stop visiting the deaf apartments and contained insults directed at VanderGiesen.   Wright had also sent an e-mail under her name stating:  “Hi this is Collins's lover as you know who am I[sic], right? am very disappointment [sic] in you because you always visit Collins when am [sic] not there, enough please, thanks․”
