Some criminal cases truly divide the public, and the murder of a wealthy Irish businessman Jason Corbett was certainly one of them. He was viciously killed by his second wife Molly Corbett and her father Thomas. Even though the killers claimed that it was self-defense because Jason tried to strangle Molly, the evidence spoke a different story. It was clearly a planned killing that had a different goal - securing Molly with the life insurance money and gaining the custody of Jason's children. She met Jason while she worked as an au pair and got very attached to the youngsters.
The police conducted a thorough investigation that shocked everyone involved. It was clear that the murder was personal and that Molly got rid of Jason in a most horrific way because he wanted to leave her and move back to Ireland. She couldn't allow that to happen and she probably asked her father, a retired FBI agent to help her get Jason out of the picture so she could continue to live a lavish life in a large mansion located inside of a gated community. It is unclear if Molly had any psychological issues at the time of the slaying, but she was diagnosed with bipolar depression in the past which could explain her erratic behavior that cost this innocent man his life.
