Luckily, someone looked deeper. When police figured out that Henthorn received a a hefty amount of money from her life insurance, he was arrested and charged with murder.

During his trial, it was proven that Henthorn had meticulously plotted the death of his wife. They fear it most likely wasn’t the only time he’d done something like this. Scary!

This led prosecutors to look deeper into the suspicious circumstances of the car accident that claimed his first wife’s life in 1995, although he was only convicted of killing his second wife.

Justice was served and the jury found him guilty. Henthorn was sentenced to life in prison. Of course, he maintained his innocence the entire time.
