Status: Incarcerated
In Season 20, episode 3, Oxygen's
Snapped, the story of Tracy Fortson is shown
This does not end well for Doug Benton
as they end up dead in the state of Georgia.
Tracy Fortson is not eligible for release as she is serving life without parole.
The show is described as: A body
encased in concrete leads to questions about a former sheriff's
deputy and her boyfriend's ties to law enforcement.
On June 19, 2000, Benton's body was found on a cattle farm and game
preserve in Oglethorpe County; Fortson had access to and knowledge of
the farm from hunting there. The body was wrapped in two shower curtains; the shower curtain from
Benton's bathroom was missing, and on June 4, 2000, Fortson purchased a
shower curtain. In addition to being wrapped in the shower curtains,
Benton's body was encased in concrete in a horse feeding trough; the
trough had been painted in a camouflage pattern and placed in an obscure
location on the farm. On June 4, 2000, Fortson had also purchased a
horse feeding trough and ten 80-pound bags of concrete mix. Samples of paint from spray paint cans found at Fortson's residence
matched the composition of the paint on the trough. Recent scar marks
on trees at the site where the trough was found matched marks on
Fortson's pickup truck. Concrete in the bed of her truck had the same
geologic origin as that in which Benton's body was encased.
