Who is Donna Scrivo, and what did she do?
Donna Scrivo, 68, is a convicted murderer who was arrested for the first-degree murder of her son Ramsay Scrivo, who was 32 years of age. She was also charged with disinterment, body mutilation, and body removal without the permission of a medical examiner.
The heart-wrenching and astonishing true story involving Donna Scrivo goes back to January 2014. Born on February 4, 1954, Donna Scrivo, who belonged to St. Clair County, was 60 years old when she allegedly committed the horrifying crime. She used to be a registered nurse professionally.
She resided in a condo at St. Clair Shores with her 32-year-old son Ramsay, who was diagnosed with a type of paranoid schizophrenia. Reportedly, on January 27, 2014, Donna brutally strangled her son to death after dosing him with lethal amounts of Xanax and two other anti-depressant drugs.
After that, she allegedly used an electric saw to dismember Ramsay's dead body and disperse the body parts in different garbage bags. After an intense investigation, authorities gathered a significant amount of solid evidence against Donna, and later on, she was arrested and convicted for her monstrous actions.
What happened to Donna, and where is she now?
After getting arrested, Donna Scrivo threatened authorities to harm herself. After that, she was shifted to the Macomb County Jail's mental health unit. During her trial in court, she reportedly pleaded not guilty.
According to Donna, an unknown masked man broke into their St. Clair Shores condo and cold-bloodedly murdered her son Ramsay, inhumanly dismembered his dead body with an electric saw, and held her hostage. She further exclaimed that she was forced to follow the man's direction.
However, the jury found Donna guilty of the first-degree murder of her son. On June 23, 2015, Donna received a life imprisonment sentence from the jury without the possibility of parole. Donna is currently serving her life sentence at the Women's Huron Valley Correctional Facility in Michigan.
