Unraveling the Truth Behind the Ax Murder Case

The story of Candy Montgomery and Betty Gore is a chilling tale of love, betrayal, and violence. It all started with a secret affair between Candy and Allan Gore, Betty's husband. They met at a church volleyball game and decided to keep their relationship a secret. They even made rules for their affair, like ending it if either of them got too emotionally attached. Betty was pregnant during the affair, but the show got this part wrong. She wasn't pregnant when she died, but she did think she was. The show also got some other details right, like Betty and Allan going to a marriage counseling camp. They spent the weekend writing love letters and trying to fix their marriage, but Allan never told Betty about the affair. Candy ended the affair after Allan said he wanted to focus on his family. But Betty found out about the affair and confronted Candy. Things got heated, and Betty grabbed an ax. Candy said Betty tried to hit her with it, and they struggled for control. In the end, Candy killed Betty with the ax, hitting her 41 times. She only stopped when she was too tired to go on. Candy said she killed Betty in self-defense and was acquitted of murder. But the show took some creative liberties, like changing the names of the Gore children and adding a foster son that never existed. It's important to remember that this is a true story, and the people involved are real. The show might be entertaining, but it's not always accurate.
