The true story behind Donna Scrivo’s crime ahead of Snapped

**Snapped Revisits the High-Profile Michigan Murder Case of Donna Scrivo**

The true crime series *Snapped* returns with an episode focusing on a case that drew widespread attention in Michigan. Donna Scrivo was convicted of first-degree murder in the 2014 killing of her son, Ramsay Scrivo, and received a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

### Case Background

In late January 2014, Ramsay Scrivo was reported missing. Within days, county crews and deputies discovered multiple bags containing human remains along rural roads in St. Clair County. Among the grim findings was an electric saw found inside one of the bags. Authorities quickly identified the remains as those of Ramsay Scrivo, according to reports from Reuters.

### The Defense Account

During the investigation and trial, Donna Scrivo’s defense presented an alternative narrative. She claimed that a masked, armed man was responsible for Ramsay’s death and that this intruder held her hostage for several days. Scrivo alleged that she was forced to move the bags containing the remains. However, the jury did not accept this version of events, as reported by CBS News.

### Trial and Verdict

In May 2015, a Macomb County jury found Donna Scrivo guilty of first-degree premeditated murder as well as mutilation of a body after brief deliberations. The evidence presented included the electric saw, the scene at the condominium, movements and activities in the days following the death, and phone records that corresponded with the timeline of events. This detailed coverage was reported extensively by the *Detroit Free Press*.

### Current Status

According to the Michigan Department of Corrections, Donna Scrivo is currently serving her life sentence without parole at the Huron Valley Complex for Women.
