In season 5, episode 6 the murder of her estranged husband, Robert Dorotik by Jane Dorotik is shown. This murder occurred in the state of California. Oxygen describes this episode of Snapped as Jane Dorotik, a successful healthcare executive, murders her estranged husband in February 2000 so she would not have to pay alimony.

In February 2000 appellant and her husband Robert Dorotik (Robert) were living on a ranch they rented in a rural area near Escondido. The pair had three adult children. Appellant and Robert frequently argued about money. Appellant and daughter Claire were horse enthusiasts. Robert disapproved of the money spent by appellant to support that interest. The couple was not particularly affectionate, sometimes discussed divorce, but never had a physical confrontation. In 1997 appellant and Robert separated. Robert filed for divorce and sought spousal support from appellant whose employment was considerably more remunerative. The couple reconciled in 1998 and resided together at the ranch, agreeing to keep their finances separate. Their relationship was uneven and at times they argued. Robert started a business but it did not do well. On the evening of [Sunday,] February 13, 2000, appellant called friends and asked if they had seen Robert. Appellant explained Robert had gone for a run at 1:00 p.m. and had not returned. Appellant called the sheriff and reported Robert missing. A search was undertaken. The next day a sweatshirt, which appellant stated Robert was wearing on his run, was found on a road about two miles from appellant's home. Shortly thereafter, Robert's body was found in brush next to a road about a half mile from where the sweatshirt was located. Appellant was notified. She started to cry and asked if her husband had suffered.
