Amy Murray was supposed to help people heal. Instead, she brewed up a deadly cocktail of antifreeze, lies, and fire. In today’s gripping breakdown, we dive into the unbelievable case of a Missouri prison nurse who poisoned her husband, set their home on fire, and plotted a future with a convicted murderer—all while claiming innocence.
Joshua Murray was found dead in his bedroom in 2018—but not from the fire that engulfed the house. A toxicology report revealed antifreeze in his system, and investigators say it was his wife, Amy, who put it there. Why? Because she was secretly in love with Eugene Claypool, a convicted killer serving a life sentence. And yes—she was having a full-blown affair with him while working at the prison.
Prison calls revealed the twisted truth: Amy telling Claypool that her husband was “out of the picture.” That picture? A burning house. The motive? Marriage. But when detectives poked holes in her McDonald’s alibi and found untouched food at the crime scene, everything unraveled.
Amy Murray took an Alford plea, dodging a life sentence in exchange for a 12-year bid for second-degree murder. But here’s the kicker—she’s also facing sexual abuse charges for her prison relationship with Claypool. That case is still pending, and we’ll be watching.
How did a healthcare professional end up a murder convict? What drove her to risk everything for a killer? And is justice truly served with a 12-year sentence?
