Snapped heads to small-town Mississippi this Sunday at 6:00 PM ET for a case of romantic rivalry that turns deadly. The episode, “Shawnie Vel Young,” untangles a web of obsession and betrayal that leads to murder, proving that even in the quietest corners of the country, jealousy can have fatal consequences.
The story begins with the discovery of a woman’s body, a crime that immediately sends shockwaves through the tight-knit community. When police apprehend a mystery woman at the scene, the investigation quickly narrows its focus to a romantic rival. As detectives dig deeper, they uncover a killer so consumed by obsession that they were willing to eliminate the competition permanently.
Now in its 35th season, Snapped continues to stick to its tried-and-true formula: profiling the cases of women accused of murder and exploring the motivations that drive them to violence. The series excels at turning common assumptions about criminals on their head, and “Shawnie Vel Young” appears to be another classic entry in its long-running catalog of deadly stories. It’s a dark look at how love and desire can curdle into something far more sinister.
“Snapped” airs Sunday at 6:00 PM ET on Oxygen.
