Snapped Patricia Olsen and Neil Olsen

Status: Incarcerated


Patricia Olsen 's story is told in Oygen's Snapped, Season 16, episode 13. The show is described as Patricia Olsen manipulates her son, Christopher into shooting and beating her husband Neil Olsen to death in January 2005 to collect on his life insurance policy.

The murder of her husband Neil Olsen is depicted in the state of Massachusetts .

Christopher Robinson
The victim, Neil Olsen, died as a result of blunt force trauma and multiple gunshot wounds inflicted by the  defendant's son, the victim's stepson, on the evening of January 9, 2005.   Thereafter, in connection with this killing, a jury convicted the defendant of murder in the first degree, as a joint venturer, on the theories of deliberate premeditation and extreme atrocity or cruelty.   Represented by new counsel on appeal, the defendant argues that the trial judge erred in excluding evidence of the defendant's son's reputation for lying, and in admitting testimony of the medical examiner accompanied by graphic photographs depicting the victim's injuries.

The jury could have found the following facts.   The defendant and the victim were married in 1994.   It was the defendant's second marriage.   In 1997 or 1998, the defendant's children from her previous marriage, Christopher and Amanda Robinson, came to live with the defendant and the victim at the victim's home in Lanesborough.   Christopher and Amanda 1 grew to dislike the victim in part because they considered him to be very strict.   Both dropped out of high school and went to live on their own.   The victim “banned” Christopher from the house following a confrontation in the fall of 2004.

During their marriage, the victim owned a sign lettering business that he operated out of the barn at his home.   The victim had a retirement account valued at $102,807, and a life insurance policy with a death benefit of $75,000.   The defendant was the designated primary beneficiary for both assets.   The couple had a number of joint bank accounts for the house and their businesses.   The defendant once operated a nearby video store in Pittsfield, and, when that business closed in 2003, she opened a restaurant named “Mrs. O's Seafood” in its place.   She spent a large amount of money converting the video store into the restaurant.

Patricia was on Candice DeLong's show, facing evil. Candice appears to believe her story that she is innocent, which is pretty amazing when you consider how qualified Candice is to judge that. It's definitely worth the watch if you can find it.
