Cold-Blooded: The True Crime Story of Ben Renick’s Death

In this chilling and heartbreaking episode of Weird True Crime, Gina and Amber unravel the twisted tale of Ben Renick — a world-renowned snake breeder who was tragically murdered in his Missouri reptile facility in 2017.
What initially looked like a freak accident involving one of Ben’s giant pythons quickly unraveled into something far darker. Through twists involving life insurance, poison-laced protein shakes, extramarital affairs, and a murder-for-hire plot, the truth finally came to light — and it wasn’t the snakes who struck.
We follow the investigation step-by-step, from the bizarre discovery of Ben's body to the shocking arrests of his wife Lynlee Renick and her accomplice Michael Humphrey. With firsthand quotes, courtroom testimony, and commentary from those who knew Ben best, this episode dives deep into one of the most serpentine true crime cases in recent memory.
🐍 Was it greed? Jealousy? Cold-blooded calculation?
💔 How did someone so admired in the exotic animal world meet such a tragic end?
🎤 Plus, hear from the community that continues to honor Ben's legacy — including a breed of python named in his memory.
