Emily Jean Ferlazzo (née Schwarz), a 22-year-old nurse from New Hampshire, was brutally murdered by her husband, Joseph Ferlazzo Jr., during what was supposed to be a celebratory one-year wedding anniversary trip to Vermont in October 2021.
The case, which involved a shooting, post-mortem mutilation, and a cover-up attempt, drew significant attention due to its shocking details and the couple’s “van-life” lifestyle.
Ferlazzo, a 42-year-old tattoo artist at the time, was convicted of first-degree murder in December 2024 and sentenced to 42.5 years in prison without parole in April 2025.
