Snapped Misty Witherspoon and Quinn Witherspoon

Status: Incarcerated

In season 6, episode 8 the murder of her police officer husband Quinn Witherspoon by Misty Witherspoon is shown. This murder occurred in the state of North Carolina. Oxygen describes this episode of Snapped as Misty Witherspoon claims the September 2005 shooting of her police officer husband Quinn was accidental and suicidal until the family finances are examined.

Defendant and Quinn, a K-9 officer with the Concord Police Department, had been married for 11 years and had three children.   At the time of Quinn's death, the couple was experiencing financial problems.   In 2004, it was discovered that defendant had taken approximately $18,000.00 from the family's church, where Quinn served as the church's treasurer as well as a deacon.   The pastor and the deacons met and it was agreed that defendant would repay the money, and no police report would be filed.

Defendant was responsible for paying the family's bills and was behind in paying the utility bills and making the mortgage payments.   The utility companies would threaten to cut off service to their house.   On one occasion, Quinn had to borrow money from his supervisor to make the mortgage payment.

In March 2005, Quinn went to his credit union to discuss a delinquent credit card account.   He believed defendant had a spending problem and was concerned that the monthly bills were not being paid promptly by defendant.   Quinn had defendant taken off of his credit card account and had the spending limit reduced.   He also paid off some debt with a personal loan that was repaid in monthly installments from his paycheck so that he did not have to worry about defendant's making the payments on time.   When the credit union manager went over Quinn's credit report with him, Quinn became upset when he found out that there were credit cards and finance companies he did not know about listed on the report.


Misty Witherspoon was sentenced to life in prison without parole on July 15, 2007.
