Oxygen True Crime, home of high-quality, true-crime programming, celebrates the 20th anniversary of “Snapped,” which became appointment viewing in 2004. On track to have its most-watched season ever, the series continues to fascinate armchair detectives. From socialites to secretaries, from moms to mistresses and everything in between, “Snapped” has given true crime fans what they crave – tales of ordinary and extraordinary women, of all ages and from all backgrounds, who were driven to murder. With reasons as varied as insurance payoffs, extramarital affairs or ending years of abuse, the women share one thing: they all snapped.

Twenty years in the making, the “Snapped” special re-examines the Internet’s first murder trial, taking viewers back to the days of Internet chat rooms and clever screen names, VHS tapes sent via snail mail and a veritable scarcity of cell phones. During this time, Sharee Miller, a twisted seductress with a skill for manipulation, is convicted of second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. After time in prison, she has a second chance at life and love when her story is examined on “Snapped.” What follows is a stunning final update in her case.
