A Snake in Sheep's Clothing - The Disturbing Death of Ben Renick | Prime Crime

Ойын-сауық

Ben Renick, a famous exotic snake breeder from Missouri, was found dead in a brutal murder scene at his reptile farm in June 2017. His body lay face down in a pool of blood, surrounded by some of the very animals he cared for. Ben's wife and brother initially believed the horrible puncture wounds and crushed skull indicated he was attacked by one of his own snakes. But as investigators arrived at the grisly scene, doubts began creeping in about this first theory.

As the evidence spirals out like hissing serpents, more sinister motives and suspects emerge in Ben Renick's mysterious death. Finally, a complex murder-for-hire plot reveals a deeply personal betrayal and an intricate coverup at work.

    Somebody needs to start looking at changing custody laws. A killer's family should not be allowed to take custody unless the victim's family is unable. Half the time, the killer's family enabled the killer or even raised the killer.

    ABSOLUTELY on point. Really. If they raised a psychopath who’s to say they won’t do the same again now with the grandkids???! // Regarding the person who says she’s having a “civil exchange”, yeah sure, they were the first one triggered and calling names, said I was narrow minded, when I was just stating facts about infancy and psychology (fortunately her aggressive reply has been deleted now). No point in arguing with anyone with such heavy projection issues. She’s right now name calling another user saying they’re “sketchy”.

    His surviving brother had no involvement or interest in the snake business. In fact Ben was in process of selling off a lot of the snakes at the time of his death. Largely due to Lynlee constantly comparing about the time he spent on the business and that sometimes she had to help. Obviously she was not a team player and wanted all the money for herself including a 1 million dollar life insurance policy. A divorce settlement wasn’t good enough. Thus the murder. It’s sad for brother Ben that she also managed to sell the family farm, originally owned by their parents, as well as getting 100% control of the kids and Ben’s ashes! I have never heard of the murderer getting rights to ashes of their victim! Shameful on Missouri!

A convicted murdered must get life in prison for taking someone’s life, it’s only fair that way. Like image taking someone’s life and only getting 16 years in prison with parole. That’s freaking insane she might not even finish her sentence in jail.

    It wasn’t the judge at fault here it was the jury! They convicted her of second degree not first degree murder so the judge was limited by the laws governing sentencing. The judge even expressed disgust at the verdict and said “you got lucky” to her at sentencing. I watched the entire trial and many interviews with people involved. She was guilty! She had numerous affairs during their short marriage and used Ben for money to open a spa. She quickly ran it into the ground and needed more money. A divorce settlement wasn’t enough for her, she wanted the 1 million in life insurance money. Plus she sold the family farm and his burgeoning snake business before her conviction so she made our like a bandit despite not getting that life insurance (I assume because she was convicted that the company did not pay out to her but it likely went to the kids (one biological, the other she had with another man but Ben raised as his own). Now her family has custody of the kids til she gets out, therefor she in essence does have control of all the money because those kids are so young 😞. I feel very sorry for Ben’s brother, he was cheated out of everything including his brother’s ashes!!

    Just one reason why I'm single. I had a girlfriend like her. Luckily I got out alive.

    My son is so leery of women, and he is a wonderful kid. The women of today are scary and as a mom I agree. Not all, but the feminism is contagious in a bad way. They talk about toxic masculinity but I think it is toxic femininity. I will not back down.

    One bad girlfriend and you swore off women after that? Open your heart. Most people aren’t like Lynlee.

    So very sorry for your history; not all women are like Lynlee or your ex. It'll just take you a little longer to Trust again. Just try not grouping all females together, though. There are women who are kind, loyal, loving, respectful and trustworthy. Bless your heart, take care 🤗

    @@californiagrandma It wasn't just one girlfriend that I had experienced deceit with. I am 60 years old. I speak with a lifetime of experience. Not All women are like this. What I am saying, from experience, is that a Majority of women are. Out of all five of my relationships only one was of pure heart. She was the Love of my life and my true Soul Mate. Unfortunately her life was taken by a drunk driver. I large part of me died the day she did. So, No....not All women are evil, just like men are, but a large majority are. Just my experience of course.
