Hall of Shame Inductee #1

Man who killed, dismembered body of woman he trafficked watched crime shows for cover-up tips

In a real-life plot twist fit for a poorly written crime show, Cory Martin — a New York City resident — found himself at the center of a grisly murder trial that even Netflix might pass on. Martin, now 36, was recently convicted of strangling Brandy Odom, a woman he had trafficked, in a chilling murder-for-hire scheme. But the real kicker? He allegedly relied on crime shows like Dexter and The First 48 for tips on how to pull off his gruesome act without getting caught. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work.
