The episode details Chavers' pattern of luring vulnerable men into relationships, then murdering them to collect insurance payouts and Social Security benefits, maintaining the ruse of being a grieving widow for years. Specifically, the source chronicles the disappearances and eventual discovery of her two victims, Clint Chavers and Cody Bowles, whose bodies were found in a shallow grave and a backyard well nearly two decades later. The explanation focuses on the forensic investigation that brought her to justice in the late 2000s, explaining that her case exemplifies a type of female serial killer who uses manipulation and poisoning rather than brute force, exploiting societal assumptions about grieving women to evade suspicion.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/murder-files-unsealed--6017387/support.
