- "The Perfect Wife" - Penny Scaggs believed in being a dutiful Christian wife. She even taught local women how to build harmonious relationships. Then she was found brutally beaten and stabbed beside her beloved yellow piano.
Was this a robbery gone horribly wrong-or was something in the Scaggs home out of tune?

When there is an affair at work usually they think they are fooling everyone but the reality is everyone knows.
Seen it time and time again, or when an old man is lusting after a young girl, he thinks he is hiding his game well, but everyone can see it.
The only tears he shed was for himself at the verdict.
The minute I hear 'pillars of the community' that's me suspicious
if these are the pillars obviously the whole world is falling down!!! As we see, lol.
Add other suspicious items: close-knit family, life insurance policies, religion.....very common scenes throughout America.
Heaven forbid that one should "light up a room" or "give you the shirt off their back". 😬
@@krisrobb7709😂As usual, they always do that don't they.😂😂😂
Adultry and divorce would destroy his stellar career…….but murder 🤦♀️
He ugly
Adultery/divorce wouldn't destroy his stellar career but murder would
He’s not a devout Christian, he’s the exact opposite.
Wolf in sheep's closing
Most “Christian’s” are evil in disguise.
I think He dident do it
No that's pretty Christian thing to do.
He finally showed emotion during the verdict/sentencing..he cried not becoz he misses his wife..it is becoz he was caught..
Maybe if he had worn his white leather eagle jacket he would have felt better?
He dident do it!
😆😆😆🤙🏾👌👍
He played along with the "perfect marriage". He climbed the ladder at work with the perfect wife and home. In reality, he hated his strict, dull life and her.
more than that, he hated God
Christianity and all of it ms many many rules
Well that’s how it works. You get married then work until you retire
I remember this story. It really made sick. She didn’t have to die like that. He is a terrible person!
Well, no kidding. Everybody is a terrible person.
My narcissist has friends who would come in and testify like that! Narcissists are the nicest guys at work but different people behind closed doors.
Wow we take for granted how young 57 years is! Sad
LOL It only seems "young" when we're either that age or close to it.
A lot of my friends are grandparents by mid 30’s. Are you kidding me? 57 is ancient. Hello! 57!
I just gotta say, being a good Christian wife DOES NOT make you a prude.
It makes you a lot of other things though.
True!
@@marymary20 oh… are you an expert on what a Christian wife is? Please, enlighten us.😂
It doesn't make you the best wife or better than a wife that isn't Christian either
@@HollyWilliamsgaden It does
They didn’t have to “make a demon out of him”, he did that for himself.
There wasn’t a divorce in the making because there was no way he would give her any of ‘his’ fortune.
....and he won't be so "seductive" to younger women without lots of money. The woman who loved him when he was poor had no value for him.
Whenever I hear “devoted Christians” I know it’s gonna be lit.
The detectives need to ask of the friends of Roger was, “would you have ever thought that Roger would attend a swingers convention or be having an open affair with his secretary while married to his wife? They wouldn’t have believed he would murder his wife. They wouldn’t have believed his adulterous life either.
The friends probably would have said that was a lie also
"Upon discovering his wife, he calls the neighbo..." HE'S GUILTY! Tale as old as time.
lol so true!!
Also when the husband is not one of the folks being interviewed...
She took "submissive wife" to a whole nother level. Heck she worship him, that was the problem. She made him her God, no ma'am. I hate he did this to her. RIH
No one ever knows people
They think they do
But they know what they are permitted to know or what is shared
First red flag. He called the neighbour first in stead of 911.second. the brutallity of the attack. Thats personal. .
Exactly
Colonel mustard with the lead pipe in the piano room
🤣🤣
Joke: Former president Trump, in the bathroom with a plunger.
Best plunger ever made.
You had me at ‘religious couple”😂😂😂😂😂
this man loved his money and reputation more than his wife.
the detective's technique was amazing. he gave the murderer the hood and rope...
he needed a new secretary to manage his household and he found one.
I will never understand why people will not just leave , divorce etc ( your clients will not mind )
Shocker most of your clients are divorced.
But no you had to kill your wife of 30 plus years … just sad
İts usually because the spouse is a entitled greedy narcissist n doesn't want to lose theyre estate, pay allimony, child support etc which is dumb af
Agreed, I find it absurd.
The reason these Defence Lawyers keep saying they believe in their clients innocence is to get more rich guilty clients.
They know their client is guilty.
But it's bad for business to say so.
How sad for that wife! Some people do not live up to vows. Extra marital affairs are cruelty, can lead to abominable actions!
Whatever happened to his girlfriend?
There is just so many of those show …the husband killing the wife ..it,s really scary
I reckon he killed Vanessa too
And there are probably several more who think, consider killing the wife but don't have nerve to do it!!
Yea! It’s like it’s happening in real life!
“People wanting to lock doors”…?
Even when I was a child in the 60’s, my parents instilled in me the importance of LOCKING DOORS and not giving criminals an open invitation. Thanks, guys.😘
Same. I hear people talking all the time about how they never locked their doors, etc. Pfft. I grew up in a Middle-Upper class suburb in the 1970s-1980s. My parents were adamant about locking the doors. During the week, my bedtime was usually 9pm or 10pm depending on my age. On weekends my parents would usually let me stay up. Sometimes my parents would go to bed before me. My dad would ALWAYS do his nightly routine of making sure both the front and back doors were locked and would turn on the security lights that hung over the garage. (He always said that burglars were less likely to hit a house that was lit up with bright lights.😂)
@@deniece0821 Your Dad was a smart man. I hate that silly phrase. "We never lock our doors!" How stupid can people be? Murder has been going on for centuries.
@@js5787 amen!
my mother-in-law lived in a small house on the property of my SIL and her family (her daughter and family) in a rural area. My SIL has a huge home that could probably be described as a mansion and it's on 20 acres. My MIL would brag how she never locked her door and left her keys in her car. My SIL and her husband also left their keys in the car. However, it was never clear if they left their doors unlocked. My MIL would say, "They'll hit the big house first before coming here..." and I wanted so badly to say, "Well, even if you had nothing of value to steal, they could still rape and/or kill you." But I don't think that would have made any difference to her. They used to ridicule me in a very passive aggressive and covert way because of all the precautions I took, which is interesting because at the time, I was a probation officer and knew very well about all the crime and criminals around that most people were not aware of. Not everything makes the news! Don't be naïve. Ugh.
Not all that glitters is gold .
he either figured he was smarter than the cops and everyone else, or he assumed they wouldn’t question a word he had to say because he is beyond reproach (in his deluded mind)
Those 3 ladies who were all standing together speaking about how unhappy Penny was, look like a trio of unhappy gossiping Karens themselves
When "Keeping It Real - During your Mid Life Crisis" goes wrong. So glad he was caught red-handed. God forbid you simply divorce her. You reaped everything you sowed. RIP Penny 🙏🏽✝️🕊️
He wasn’t so “holy” after all. These “pillars” always crumble. Love Tamron.
the people who believe him can’t admit to themselves that they were so easily snowed! they literally worshipped this fool
A difficult lifestyle to uphold being human
It strikes me that both were narcissistic and neither may have been able to deeply love. That would explain the apparent obsession with perfection on both their parts.
Was Vanessa ever found? He could've killed her too so she couldn't testify. I'm sure he was tired of her too after so many years of the affair and wanted something new. Where's Vanessa??
thats what i was thinking
Yea she probably talked him into it
@@vc6122 To me , it seems like he was thinking about that murder for a long time, probably before Vanessa
I was wondering the same where is Vanessa?
I think he killed her
I just don't get the logic of killing someone and losing all when the cheaper option is divorce. And this is the kind of guy that's considered smart.
They don’t think they will get caught. Criminals are dumb: that’s it.
@@AidaShawJ.D. they always get caught even if it's 30 yrs down the line. Like you said just dumb.
Did they ever find the secretary who was desperate enough to have an affair with him? 🤔
Watch those churchgoers! Lol
See is what social media reminds me of. It makes it easier for people to portray Something they are not
This was before social media. It’s easier to create fake personas online, but living multiple lives is harder now. In the 80’s you could have two families, it’s so much harder now.
@@karenneill9109 just curious, why is it harder now
He wasn't on social media. Lol
@@tamilamy303 It used to be u you on could move somewhere, steal a dead persons identity and slowly rebuild and do just fine. It’s very hard to do that now. You have to create a digital footprint, and it has to create a picture of your life.
The evidence in the dumpster, the affair, and the swingers event is enough for me.
He also snapped himself by talking about what she was doing when he walked up to whack her.
Ugggh what a creep.!!!
Poor defense attorney doesn't even believe his own statements.
I mean how can you refute the husband's aka murderer's fingerprints inside the latex gloves with the murder weapons?! Lol
I don't see him doing very well in prison......🤔
Ugh, whenever "typical American family; church-going folks, great marriage" are repeated, you already know 😐Bruh, divorce is ALWAYS cheaper than murder 😳🤦🏾♀️
Which burglar would break into someone’s house, kill and steal their jewellery and then dump the loot in nearby bins? Ludicrous! The defence had no leg to stand on.
I wonder if they ever found his mistress. I hope he didn’t get her.
I read a book about this crime, titled "The Good Wife." Vanessa Ferguson, the mistress, turned up alive and well after the guilty verdict. Then the defense lawyers tried to get a new trial based on this critical witness now being available. Heh. They lost that, and the rest of his appeals.
So many shows lately! Keep em coming!
Scaggs was a "devout Christian" only in word alone. Christ changes the heart! His heart was far from Christ-like. He is a WOLF in sheep's clothes.
Amen
evil selfish pathetic man...a man! oops wrong word! RIP Penny, you truly didnt deserve to pass on in such a brutal manner!!
"Devout Christians" - LOL! 😆 (The Perplexed Atheist)
People from all beliefs,sin 😢
Demon inside.
A killer can’t keep there lies straight,that’s what an affair does
@Sharon Coombs killers and adulterers are two very different things.
Not really. The only difference is you can go to jail for one.
An adulterous affair led to an affair n hate brew n then the fins kill
Why he didn’t divorce, better to be happy with his secretary, broke but free😳
so so smart after all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't understand why people just don't grant a divorce. That old school church stuff is ridiculous! We change. Just everyone be amicable and love life while you're here.
Thank you for another episode so soon ☺️
Stunningly sad, and stunningly stupid, all wrapped up in the arms of wretched sex on tap in the office. Adultery, yet could so easily be divorced, take the cost, and move on.....RIP Peggy. God Bless all in your memory, in Jesus Name.
Pastor was happy to throw Roger under the bus… 😂 😂
Every time I hear, ‘American Christian family’ I cringe 😬.
Add other suspicious vocabulary: Close-knit family, life insurance policies, religion, pillars of the community..... That's alot of drama.
i love this show!
Oh no, Roger is not a demon, he a "good Christian". 👹👹
Some attorneys, I don't know how they sleep at night.
It's called zealousrepresentation of your client.
With a huge bank account!
Tamron Hall looks exquisitely beautiful and her outfit rocks the Casbah!!! 😻☺️💃
Shariff don't like it! Rock the casbah!
Ikr. Glad she is standing up there and not that horrid Banfield!!!
@@paulinetsai I see idiots
@@noteworthy4247 Ashley is nice ibthink
Tamron Hall is absolutely beautiful, I'm always turned on by this woman, she is intelligent, beautiful, tall, and very nice to see.
There’s no hate like Christian love! 😂
Preach sister!!!
LOL! 😆
@jojo All religion!! Doesn't matter which Cult you choose!
You're getting White people confused with Christianity.
@jojo Nah. This story covers a case featuring some so-called Christians. Stay on topic.
these townspeople didn’t think he would cheat, either. it was all an act. her last minutes were spent realizing that all she held dear was….bs
Or perhaps she had second thoughts about refusing the divorce...
I guess when you talk to a pastor , it's not always confidential, he was not suppose to disclose that information in a courtroom. The pastors testimony wasn't even needed. I can't believe Roger actually thought he would get away with this.
I got chills from what he said at 25:15.
Yep, he tripped himself up eerily there. Terrible, terrible scenario. "I've never seen Roger so much as raise his voice etc." but truth is that these are the people that snap worse than others having held it in for so long. Also, anyone "never" having shown any propensity for violence before does not make them immune for same. That "never" only applies "up until", eg. "He never showed any violence in his whole life, up until he killed his wife" ... that is never proof of innocence and people need to get with the program on this fact.
@@sharpedge3355
Perfectly said!
That's exactly right
So what happened to girlfriend??? Sounds like she’s dead because I’m sure with today’s technology investigators would have found her
Exactly what I was thinking
I just lost interest in this story as soon as it said she felt it was her role to do anything for him because it was her role . Episode is called the perfect wife. No woman should ever feel it's their role in life to be anybody's servant especially their spouse.
Yes, cuz. difference between serving each other by choice and being a servant.
When a man tells me that I'm an angel, and would be a perfect wife, I RUN! I don't want to live up to some idea of perfection I'm happily flawed, and have no desire to change! :)
I lost my interest the moment I heard business man, devoted wife and leaders in their local church. You can be 💯 sure there’s lot of sh*t behind the closed door
And yet you took time out of your life to write a comment. 😂
@@js5787 has any man said that to you?
Heck…. He is getting out in just another 7 years? Whoever has decided to check the dumpster thoroughly near his office deserves a medal.
Good Christian family. Yes, of course 😱
Guilty!!!
"No one up there could have done it: It was a suburb, with very expensive houses, owned by Executives..."
Other communities: Yeah! 🙄 We hear you well, sir. We understand the mindset. 🤦🏿♀️
Poor woman.
I hear you
Murder happens anywhere what ever community
I know right, to think because it's a rich, suburb, small town, therefore murders shouldn't happen is quite ignorant.
@@sheilae.9670 And that no one from their community could have done it. 🙄
@@kristelmpone5350 exactly! Smh
I think the point is that these people in expensive suburbs are usually too busy embezzling money from their workplaces, carrying on affairs with coworkers, abusing prescription medication & drinking themselves to sleep every night TO HAVE THE TIME to plan & commit murder. 😉
i blame viagra
Possibly
Each time he came home for dinner, he was maybe trying to do it... So sad...
funny how he had no emotion till he was found guilty and was convicted to 32 years, then came the tears. Selfish and self centered man.
The ONLY time that s.o.b. cried was when his sentence was pronounced. He's pretty old then, so maybe he won't make it until 32 yrs.
Oh yeah, another "devout christian" Killing another human. Figures.
Tamron Hall so beautiful
I can't remember the year this took place I remember seeing this on I think American Justice
Such a devoted wife she didn't deserve that. He got what he deserve and that side piece probably knew of it .
What a nice christian man.
Where is the girlfriend ? You never found her did he kill her too ?
Defense attorney: The prosecution wants you to believe Roger Scaggs murdered his wife for no reason.
No. The prosecution made it clear that he murdered his wife because he disdained her and wanted to act on his "animal lust "
With all his money, you would think that he would hire an attorney who was a little more intelligent.
Is he still alive? In prison?
Yes, he's still alive and in prison...He is due to be released in the year 2030.
What is an all American family .,?
as a matter of fact, these people are the exact people i would predict this to happen with! the self-righteous ones who don’t know their own marriage is a farce. who care more about image than each other. who are wealthy and obsessed with the concept of christianity, rather than trying to live by its tenants and intentions. the kind of people who would have an affair and then kill their spouse bec divorce “is a sin”. yeah, a lot of these episodes are like that &, ofc, the texas part doesn’t help… lol
They live in la la land, delusional about life circumstances
Perfectly said! I couldn’t agree more.
* tenets and yes, I agree.
Wow, the friends are really ignorant. Nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors, and many people put on a front that belies who they really are. I'd be the one friend sitting with Pennys family! And who the Hell gets married 2 or 3 times in one year?!? 😳
The judge should have just put him in a room with Penny’s sisters. Those two women look like they could dealt out some justice!
Keep up the good work on your sanctuary!! Thank you for letting me use your Shop Vac!
The human behaviour is very complex. How can such an intelligent man commit such a stupid crime 😒 and expect everyone to believe him
*🚩calling neighbor instead of police*
His smirk. Thought he can get away w/ murder.
The problem is the crazy amount women get in a divorce
Tamron is one gorgeous woman!🌹
I fe agree💯😃
Why do people think murder is the answer vs D.I.V.O.R.C.E. ? So, you might lose a few clients??? vs take a life and either lose your life or be in prison for life?? 🤦♀️
May this woman rest in peace. 🙏🏼🤍🕊️
What's it like being a perfect wife?
lethal
@@boosqueezy2418 🤣🤣🤣
Boring
@@boosqueezy2418 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
reminds me of "Jacob I have loved and Esau I have hated".... The Lord knows His own.
Has Vanessa ever been located?
The only thing I would consider, besides speculations, is why did the bag containing the pipe, the knife, that was used to kill the victim and the victim's jewelry, was found in a dumpster behind the building where the victim's husband worked
Anyone is capable of committing these acts if you push the right buttons.
The floor is the ground and the ground is a floor now. Why are people getting stupider?
THE ONLY ONES THAT KNOWS THE TRUTH ABOUT THEIR MARRIAGES ARE THE HUSBAND AND WIFE, AND GOD!
