Exposed: The Secret Life of Jodi Arias

It's the trial that has captivated an entire nation. On June 4, 2008, Travis Alexander was found dead in his home in Mesa, Arizona, and the grisly nature of his death made instant headlines: his body had been stabbed 29 times, his throat had been slit, and he had been shot in the head. Police quickly zeroed in on Jodi Arias, Alexander's ex-girlfriend, as the prime suspect. Arias, who changed her story multiple times, finally admitted to killing Alexander, arguing that it was in self-defense and that she had been a victim of domestic abuse. Yet little about this case was as it seemed, and as the investigation progressed, details emerged about the couple's relationship, including graphic stories of their S&M-fueled sexual encounters. These tawdry revelations turned the murder into a media sensation with trial-watchers from across the country clamoring to learn more about the real Jodi Arias.
