    About this ebook

    Claiming to be a victim of rape and other abuses, a distraught Tracey Grissom would travel to her ex-husband Hunter's workplace and shoot him six times in the back, receiving a twenty-five-year life sentence for his murder. 
    Her defense attorney would argue that Tracey was motivated by post-traumatic stress disorder caused by her Hunter's constant abuse and sexual assaults. One jury member had even asked the judge to be lenient in her sentencing as they were not allowed to hear details of her Hunter's alleged abuses (beatings, rape, sodomy). 
    But what really happened in the years that led up to May 15th, 2012? Was she in fact the victim of years of abuse by a psychotic husband? Or did she want to cash in on his $100,000 life insurance policy?

      Husband Killer Tracey Grissom - Sarah Camden

      Claiming to be a victim of rape and other abuses, a distraught Tracey Grissom would travel to her ex-husband Hunter's workplace and shoot him six times in the back, receiving a twenty-five-year life sentence for his murder.

      Her defense attorney would argue that Tracey was motivated by post-traumatic stress disorder caused by her Hunter's constant abuse and sexual assaults. One jury member had even asked the judge to be lenient in her sentencing as they were not allowed to hear details of her Hunter's alleged abuses (beatings, rape, sodomy). 

      But what really happened in the years that led up to May 15th, 2012? Was she in fact the victim of years of abuse by a psychotic husband? Or did she want to cash in on his $100,000 life insurance policy?

      INSTANT ATTRACTION

      The couple would meet during a dinner party in 2003 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Tracey was twenty-one years old and going through a divorce. She had a son, James Michael, from the previous marriage.

      Family and friends would describe the union as love at first sight. Hunter was blown away by the young Tracey's blue eyes and facial beauty.

      For him, it was love at first sight, crime author William Phelps said. She was gorgeous.

      A whirlwind courtship would ensue and the couple would elope in 2004.

      In the beginning, it was good, Tracey told CBS' 48 hours. We had a friendship. Just your normal, honeymoon phase marriage.

      He was fun, Tracey said. And he was attractive.

      Hunter was two years younger than Tracey, however, and his mother felt that he had jumped the gun too early in the relationship.

      Her words proved to be prophetic as after only eight months into the marriage, the marriage went south.

      According to Tracey, their marital problems began with Hunter's drug addiction. 

      I had caught him smoking marijuana, Tracey said.  Doing illegal things could cause a problem and I couldn't risk losing my son over.

      Tracey claimed that she threatened her new spouse with a divorce but Hunter gave her his word that he would stop with his drug use. She stated that the relationship improved and the decided to start a construction company together.

      I took out an equity line to start a company, Tracey said. Which was Grissom Construction. It was all in my name.

      Hunter specialized in building elaborate boat docks. He had an artistic eye and could do docks, stairs, and other accouterments. The business began to grow in short order. 

      They're going to take on the world, Phelps said. They're going to be entrepreneurs and they're gonna make it. 

      They then had a daughter of their own, Anna Grace. The child was a long time coming for the couple. They had been trying for a long time as Tracey had five miscarriages before Anna Grace was born. 

      She was premature, Tracey recalled. Her heart and lungs were not developed. A very stressful time.

      Behind closed doors things were rocky. On the surface, however, things looked good. They had a young family and were making money.

      All-American family, Phelps said. White-picket fence. The whole nine yards. Middle-class. Suburbia. Maybe the Prince Charming that she's been waiting for.

      But again, this was only on the surface. Tracey harbored secrets of her own. One of which was her own addiction to prescription drugs.

      Psychologically, there's something going on here, Phelps said. There's something going on behind those beautiful eyes and it ain't good.

      Tracey would often
