Snapped Erika Sifrit Joshua Ford, and Martha "Geney"Crutchley

Status: Incarcerated 

In season 6, episode 11 the murder of another vacationing couple Joshua Ford, and Martha "Geney"Crutchley by Erika Sifrit, is shown. This murder occurred in the state of Maryland. Oxygen describes this episode of Snapped as ErikaSifrit, a scrapbooker, and her husband Benjamin are charged with murdering another vacationing couple in Ocean City, Maryland in May 2002



Erika Sifrit, was convicted and sentenced to life plus 25 years in prison.

On Friday, May 24, 2002, Martha Crutchley and her boyfriend, Joshua Ford, drove from Virginia to Ocean City, Maryland, for the Memorial Day weekend.   Erika and her husband Benjamin were also vacationing in Ocean City over the holiday weekend.   On Saturday night, May 25, 2002, the Sifrits met Ms. Crutchley and Mr. Ford on a bus on their way to Seacrets, a popular Ocean City nightclub.   The Sifrits did not have the exact change for the fare so Ms. Crutchley and Mr. Ford offered to pay the Sifrits' fare if they would buy them a drink when they arrived at Seacrets.   The foursome and two other people from the
bus, friends Anne Carlino and Jeff Hysee, spent the rest of the evening together at Seacrets.
What happened in the early morning hours following the night at Seacrets is unknown.   We do know, however, that at 3:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, May 26, 2002, Erika called 911 claiming that people she did not know were in her condominium unit and she could not find her purse.   She was “afraid I'm going to have a robbery here.”   The call abruptly ended and no one was dispatched to the condominium.

The oddest thing about this case is both families insist neither of these individuals would have killed on their own. So either, that's true and they are the couple made in hell or they both gas lighted their families to death. Either way, it's likely easier to blame the other person then wrap your brain around what happened.
