“They were an explosive couple that each fed off the other and I don’t think the crime would have happened without the passion they had,” defense attorney Kevin McCants said on Snapped: Killer Couples of Shanika Robinson and her boyfriend, who helped to brutally murder her brother-in-law.
“The murder happened in her home, and she had to have known about it,” Robbie Fox, former Sevierville police chief, said on Snapped: Killer Couples, as Shayne Lovera claimed she was innocent. “There was no way for her to get around that.”
“I just couldn’t believe it,” Curtis Smith, Aaron Friar’s friend, said on Snapped: Killer Couples of the plot hatched by the teenager to kill her father. “You know, little girl Ellie—I couldn’t believe it.”
“We never would have foreseen how gruesome this case would have ended up,” said Brandon Medina, former Nash Co. Sheriff’s Chief Deputy, on Snapped, after the discovery of a missing woman's body 15 years later led to more questions about a still-missing man.
