The bubbly and beautiful Darlene Gentry was a real-live Texas homecoming queen. After high school, she became a dental assistant and married Keith, a hunky, good-natured, local boy who worked as an electrical engineering assistant. The couple had 3 children and, to many at least, seemed to have the perfect life.
Then she shot him. It was staged as a robbery, but the cops were suspicious from the get-go. After her frantic 911 call, Darlene seemed preternaturally calm and composed, even laughing and joking at Keith’s funeral.
Hidden strains in the marriage (including major debt, run up by Darlene) and almost a million in insurance money didn’t make Darlene look any more innocent. She sealed the deal, for the cops when she was taped trying to retrieve & move the murder weapon.
Darlene's case was depicted in the TV show Deadly Women.
