Snapped Heather Horst and Brandon James Horst

Status: Incarcerated


Heather Horst's story is told in Oxygen's Snapped, Season 15, episode 11. The show is described as Heather Horst was a young military bride who solicited a friend to murder her estranged husband for life insurance in August 2013.

The murder of her military husband Brandon James Horst is depicted in the state of Minnesota.

The marriage between Horst and her husband, Brandon, was troubled. During the course of the marriage, both spouses were unfaithful to one another. Horst told multiple friends that Brandon had been verbally and physically abusive toward her and that his abuse had caused multiple miscarriages, although there was no evidence presented at trial to substantiate either claim.

In the summer of 2013, Brandon's stepsister, A.P.; A.P.'s then-fiancé, Aaron Allen; S.K.; and S.K's girlfriend were living together in an apartment in South St. Paul. A.P. and Horst were acquaintances from high school, but they became particularly close that summer and spent considerable time together at the apartment. One day, Horst “came storming in” to the apartment. Allen testified that Horst was angry and that the first thing she said when she arrived was “I want him dead,” referring to her husband, Brandon. Horst told Allen, A.P., and S.K. that, the night before, Brandon had punched her in the stomach, which caused her to miscarry. Upon hearing that Brandon had caused yet another miscarriage, Allen became “livid,” “ang[ry],” and “saw blood.”


Heather Horst is convicted of murder and Sentenced to life in prison without parole.
