Summary

In 2021, a romantic anniversary trip to Vermont turned into a gruesome crime scene when Joseph Ferlazzo murdered his wife, Emily. Though the defendant claimed he acted in self-defense during a violent domestic dispute, prosecutors argued he premeditated the execution before hiding the body in their camper. Following the shooting, Ferlazzo dismembered the remains and lied to family and investigators to maintain his freedom. His deception eventually crumbled when he confessed the killing to a friend, who immediately alerted the authorities. Ultimately, a jury rejected his version of events and found him guilty of first-degree murder, leaving him to face a life sentence.
