Felony Friday - Snake King (Patreon)

In early 2017, 29-year-old Ben Renick, owner of Renick Reptiles which specialized in breeding of boas, pythons and anacondas, was on top of the world. He created a successful enterprise on the 72-acre property he grew up on since he was a kid. Ben was from the small town of New Florence, Missouri and had big dreams for his life that he shared with his wife and children. After negotiating a million dollar deal with a star NHL player, life was looking to get even better for the Renick family, until a fateful day in the summer of 2017 when tragedy abruptly ended all of their future plans.
