Snapped Leslie MacKool and Janie Ballard

Status: Incarcerated 

In season 6, episode 27 the murder of her mother Janie Ballard by Leslie MacKool is shown. This murder occurred in the state of Arkansas. Oxygen describes this episode of Snapped as Leslie MacKool is accused of stabbing her mother Janie Ballard 74 times in September 2003 so she could inherit her parents' multimillion-dollar estate with her husband, Michael MacKool



Leslie MacKool is sentenced to life imprisonment without parole on the capital-murder charge and five years' imprisonment on the theft-of-property charge.

At 6:00 a.m., on September 13, 2003, Mickey Holloway, a crime scene specialist for the Little Rock Police Department, found Ms. Ballard dead in her home.   Ms. Ballard had been stabbed over seventy times, and her throat had been slit in an attempted decapitation.   Further, one of Ms. Ballard's vehicles, a coin collection, and jewelry were missing from the home.

Holloway was a friend of Ms. Ballard's, and he checked in with her daily.   Because he was unable to reach Ms. Ballard on the telephone, he stopped by her house on the morning of September 13.   After finding Ms. Ballard's body, Holloway immediately contacted the Little Rock Police Department, and Officer Steve Dodge was dispatched to the Ballard home to secure the crime scene and begin an investigation into the murder.   Upon Dodge's arrival, Holloway told him to question Leslie and Mike because they were probably responsible for the murder.

Holloway suggested that Dodge question the two because on numerous occasions, Ms. Ballard had told Holloway that she was afraid that Leslie and Mike would kill her for her money.   In the days leading up to her death, Ms. Ballard expressed those same fears to others.   After her husband and Leslie's father, Lester Ballard, died on August 19, 2003, Ms. Ballard became much more fearful.
