Description
In June 2008, in Mesa, Arizona, the body of 30-year-old Travis Alexander was discovered brutally murdered in his home. He had been shot in the face, slashed across the throat, and stabbed in the heart. Alexander had been a devout Mormon, handsome and hard-working, beloved by all, and his death came as an enormous shock.Suspicion pointed to one woman: Jodi Arias. Travis had met Jodi at a conference in Las Vegas just 18 months earlier, and he was instantly taken with the beautiful aspiring photographer. But soon it became clear that Jodi was in the grips of an obsession, and as Travis tried desperately to escape the tumultuous relationship, her fixation continued to grow. When it seemed like she would lose him forever, Jodi drove to Mesa and lured Travis into the shower for a photo-shoot that would end in a bloodbath.Despite a mountain of evidence implicating her, Jodi pled self-defense in the bizarre eighteen-week trial before the jurors found her guilty of murder in the first degree.
