In season 6, episode 16 the murder of her
husband Keith Gentry by Darlene Gentry is shown. This murder
occurred in the state of Texas. Oxygen describes this episode of
Snapped as Darlene Gentry shoots her husband Keith in their home in
November 2005 and stages the scene as a robbery so she can collect
life insurance.
At about 6:15 a.m., on November 9, 2005, police responded to a 9-1-1 call at the home of Keith and Darlene Gentry. When police arrived at the home, they found Keith unconscious, having suffered a gunshot wound to the head. Keith was taken by ambulance to the hospital, where he died later that day.
On the night of Keith's death, Gentry volunteered to be interviewed by police. After some questioning, she invoked her Fifth Amendment right to be silent and her Sixth Amendment right to counsel. At that time, police immediately stopped the interview, Gentry was released, and she hired an attorney.
Later that day, Gentry gave consent to search her home. During that search, investigators discovered a pair of latex gloves in the kitchen trash can that contained the casing of a .22 caliber bullet. The gloves were sent to the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Lab, and gun shot residue along with the DNA profiles of Gentry and Keith were recovered. The police arrested Gentry on November 28, 2005 and she immediately bonded out of jail.
Darlene Gentry was sentenced to 60 years in prison.
