Anne Scripps and Scott Douglas

An heiress to the Scripps newspaper fortune, Anne Scripps had a privileged upbringing. When her first marriage ended in divorce she quickly met and married a new man, a house painter named Scott Douglas who was nine years younger than Anne. All Anne wanted was the simple life of a suburban housewife, doting on her children and giving them the warmth and love that she didn’t receive in her own childhood. But her new marriage quickly turned into a nightmare, with a tragic outcome that would reverberate for years to come.Today's snack: Easy homemade biscuitsSubscribe on Patreon for early, ad-free access and a monthly bonus episode.Sources:https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5chme0https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3047747/Scripps-newspaper-heiress-24-saw-socialite-mother-hacked-death-claw-hammer-father-released-prison-drugs-telling-judge-lost-family-friends-pets-hope-future.htmlhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6033219/Scripps-heiress-Tori-Scripps-Carmody-arrested-stealing-adoptive-moms-car.htmlhttps://nymag.com/news/features/63034/https://www.crimelibrary.org/notorious_murders/family/anne_scripps/1.htmlMangaliman, J.
