'Murder for Hire' explores how a therapist ordered her patient to gun down her ex-husband

Cynthia Guy, a disgruntled ex-wife, wanted to take revenge after feeling dissatisfied with her divorce settlement
UPDATED APR 3, 2019

Oxygen's latest original series 'Murder for Hire' gives us a glimpse into the grim world of contract killings, especially after investigators reported a sharp increase in hired hits across the country in the past decade. 

The first installment of the docu-series, which debuts on April 7, recreates the true story of "an ex-wife's revenge."

Cynthia Guy, a professional therapist and divorcee, married businessman Terry Thomas just seven months after they met online. According to Thomas, she was smart, caring, and for once he thought he was "doing it right."

"Cyndy appeared to be a fun person," he told producers. "She was able to laugh, not just at others, but at herself as well...When I looked at her come down the steps in her wedding gown, I thought to myself, 'I think I did this one right.'"
