In today’s article, we will be exploring some disturbing details of Gina Scramuzza, the wife turned murderer of Mario Scramuzza.

Gina Scramuzza, a 45-year-old CAT scan technician, had had enough of her miserable marriage to fire department paramedic Mario Scramuzza after 20 years. Rather than filing for divorce, she and her boyfriend, Carlos Rodriguez, thought it would be a better idea to murder her husband.

Moreover, Gina met Rodriguez in the East Jefferson General Hospital in Metairie, Louisiana, a few months before the crime, in 2008. She believed their relationship would grow into something more, despite the fact that they were never sexually connected, as described in this week’s episode of Oxygen’s “Killer Couples.”

According to the New Orleans Advocate, Gina Scramuzza had been telling Rodriguez that her husband was violent, and one day, her boyfriend Carlos Rodriguez asked if she wanted to get rid of him and she agreed.

According to ABC News, Gina Scramuzza paid Luis Hernandez and Erly Montoya $500 apiece on February 28, 2009, to accompany Rodriguez to her house in Covington, Louisiana.
