Matthew James Phelps

About this episode

Matthew Phelps and Lauren Hugelmaier married in 2016. Less than a year into the marriage, Matthew called 911 early one morning to report that he had taken too much cold medicine and believed he had killed his wife. 

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the case of Matthew Phelps. Phelps was not working, spending too much money, and not helping out around the house. Lauren told family members that she was tired of it and was going to end the relationship. It seems as though Matthew Phelps couldn't handle that and killed Lauren, although at trial, he blamed his actions on taking too much cough medicine.
