The producers of “Signs of a Psychopath,” a series on the subscription-based television channel Investigation Discovery, announced earlier this week that their latest episode, “Breakfast on Him,” airing at 7 p.m. Sunday, will be about Susan Monica.

Monica was convicted by a Jackson County Circuit Court jury April 21, 2015, on two counts of murder and two counts of first-degree abuse of a corpse for the shooting deaths and dismemberment of 59-year-old Stephen Delicino in August 2012 and 56-year-old handyman Robert Haney in September 2013. Monica was also convicted of identity theft for using Haney’s credit card knowing he had died.

Monica claimed at trial that she discovered Hanley was being devoured by pigs at her West Evans Creek Road property and shot him in a “mercy killing,” according to previous news reports. She also claimed she shot Delicino five times in the head in self defense during a struggle in her barn.

Monica claimed to investigators that she thought her pigs would be killed if she reported the men’s deaths, according to previous news reports. She also told them she values animals more than people.

Judge Timothy Barnack — who described the woman as a “cold-blooded killer” at the trial’s conclusion — sentenced Monica to two consecutive terms of 25 years to life.

Monica, who turned 75 July 8, is housed at the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility in Wilsonville.
