47: "The Killer Speaks - Dena Riley"

Shear Crime Podcast

On this week’s episode, Ame and Kenzie cover another episode from the A&E series The Killer Speaks. Dena Riley thought she had finally hit the jackpot when convicted sex offender Richard Davis entered her life. He was charming, intelligent, stable...everything that Dena was not. Most of all, he was attentive to her and offered a kind of support she hadn’t seen before. But this love affair was anything but healthy. Knowing her appetite for meth and openness to involving others into their sex life, Richard would lure women who shared the same liking into three way sex that would soon take a dark turn once the camera was rolling. Not only was he excited by the control and power that came with being a sadist, but his violent fantasies were to become even more realistic. By the end of their 8 month long relationship, Richard and Dena would find themselves on the run from police and guilty of raping, torturing, and murdering two Missouri women in 2006.
