Missouri Snake Breeder Murder: The Ben Renick Story

Missouri Snake Breeder Murder: The Ben Renick Story

In June 2017, Ben Renick, a 29 year-old Missouri snake breeder, was found dead inside his reptile barn. At first, rumors spread that one of his massive pythons had killed him.


But the truth was far more chilling: Ben had been shot eight times.
With shell casings on the floor, no stolen snakes, and conflicting alibis, the investigation into the Ben Renick murder case quickly turned toward someone close to him. As detectives uncovered financial strain, secret affairs, a million-dollar life insurance policy, and a jailhouse confession, the story only grew more shocking.


In this episode of Clues, Morgan and Kaelyn break down the timeline, the evidence, and the courtroom twists behind one of Missouri’s most disturbing true crime cases.
