it was the loudest sound i'd ever heard because it was so so i'm thinking run in my head i'm
thinking mike is shot she steps from the back of the car and she screams shoot her shoot her again
[Music] i heard her voice i heard her catherine [Music] catherine shelton [Music]
meet catherine catherine shelton you could get comfy you're fine she says she had nothing to do with that shooting
but it's not the first time she's been accused of a crime fraud sexual offense let me get my
glasses elder abuse s'more fraud arson i can go through a home homicide some call this texas woman a black widow
[Music] men around her have died from unnatural causes but as you can tell from all these
pictures and different cases on your table that's a lot of coincidences my name is jenna jackson and i'm a
journalist for nearly 20 years katherine's story has stayed with me from a fiery 20-something right up until
today just about everywhere catherine shelton has gone trouble has followed for some reason i seem to have attracted
people around me who themselves do not lead adult lives or up to something an ex-boyfriend found beaten to death
case unsolved if you had to have a number one prime suspect it's it's catherine a man named with catherine in a lawsuit
was found with a bullet in his head the circumstances around it odd there's another ex-boyfriend who
catherine actually admits shooting in the back she says it was self-defense she was a lot of fun when
she wasn't trying to kill me and as you're about to hear there's more this is where the case kind of goes from
bad to weird a young man discovered hanging in a house she owned dead and naked his death ruled an accident i lead a
doll life there's that husband and wife shot up in an ambush the husband died the wife survived
telling police her former boss was with the shooter i know it was her i've worked with her i've been at her home
kathryn shelton not me i wasn't there and then there was an older man he turned up dead
rolled up in a blanket in katherine's house she says he died of natural causes she has never been charged with murder
all right for the record i've never killed anybody but i have done a few things yes
i do admit that i well i've never stabbed anyone all right and i've never shot anyone with a
shotgun some say she knows how to beat the system she is a former criminal defense
attorney maybe she didn't do any of this maybe she's just really unlucky it's all
she made just be the most unluckiest person in the world her story has become my obsession to
