Did Kelly Gissendaner Deserve To Die?

On the morning of February 8th, 1997, Kelly Gissendaner began making frantic phone calls from her home in Auburn, Georgia.

Her husband, thirty-year-old Douglas Gissendaner, had never come home the night before.At first, the possibilities seemed endless.

Maybe his car had broken down. Maybe he had been involved in an accident. Maybe he was lying injured somewhere, unable to get help.

But thirty-six hours later, deep in the woods of Gwinnett County, investigators discovered a burned-out vehicle. The car belonged to Douglas.

Then, less than two weeks later, Douglas Gissendaner’s body was found face down in the dirt, still on his knees.

He had been kidnapped, driven to a remote stretch of road, and brutally stabbed to death.Initially, investigators believed it may have been a robbery gone wrong.

But as police began digging deeper into Douglas’s marriage, they uncovered a months-long affair, dozens upon dozens of secret phone calls, a carefully constructed alibi, and what prosecutors would later describe as a cold, calculated, and meticulously planned murder plot.

And at the centre of it all… was Douglas’s own wife.
