Tuesday night is the series premiere of Investigation Discovery’s latest reenactmentacular true crime series seductively titled Secret Lives of Stepford Wives. The show “features the true story of a housewife whose desire to keep up with the Joneses is matched only by her desperation to sweep her wrongdoings under the rug,” according to the network, and the premiere episode is a real doozy involving a church pianist and Bible school teacher, an affair, Friday the 13th, and a brutal ax murder that has already inspired a book and a movie! Keep reading for the true story of Candace “Candy” Montgomery, who killed Betty Gore with 41 whacks from an ax in 1980 after Betty discovered that Candy (a married church friend) had been having an affair with her husband.
