Snapped Dixie Shanahan and Scott Shanhan

Status: Released

In Oxygen's Snapped, Season 4, episode 5 the story of her husband Scott Shanhan and Dixie Shanahan is shown. This happens in the state of Iowa. Oxygen describes this show as: Dixie Shanahan is accused of shooting her husband Scott in August 2002 and then leaving his body in the bedroom of her home for over a year..

Dixie Shanahan was found guilty of second-degree murder April 30, 2004. The conviction carried a sentence of 50 years, making her ineligible for parole before she served 35 years in prison. She was granted work release in 2018 and later paroled. 


Her appeal includes:
Dixie and Scott Shanahan were married in 1995, and they lived in Defiance, Iowa in a house Scott inherited from his parents.   Scott did not work.   Dixie worked at various jobs.   They had two children during Scott's lifetime, Zachary and Ashley.   A third child, Brittany, was born after Scott's death.

Dixie and Scott's relationship was characterized by both physical and mental abuse.   Dixie testified Scott “could flip on a nickel,” threatened her life, and often threatened to take their children away from her.   There were many instances of abuse, which Dixie often attempted to cover up.   Three of the incidents led to the prosecution of Scott for domestic abuse.

On July 21, 2003, the Shelby County sheriff's office received a call from a concerned citizen who advised law enforcement that Scott had not been seen in or around Defiance for a considerable amount of time, which the caller considered out of the ordinary.   Sheriff Gene Cavenaugh first tried to locate Scott in Atlantic, Iowa because the officers had heard he might be there.   Cavenaugh was unable to do so
