Strip & Kill: The True Crime Story of Cherrylle Dell

by Jessica Riley

In a small town marred by deceit and tragedy, the chilling tale of Cherrylle Dell unfolds. At just seventeen, she embarked on a turbulent journey when she married Scott, a man two years her senior. Their relationship teetered on the edge from the start, yet they managed to weather the storm for over two decades before parting ways in 1992. But fate had darker plans in store. In 1995, Scott Dell's lifeless body was discovered in his farmhouse near Killaloe, Ontario. Initially ruled a suicide, it seemed his battle with depression, the aftermath of their separation, and a cancer diagnosis had claimed his life. The truth, however, would soon emerge. Two years later, Cherrylle Dell found herself accused of her estranged husband's murder, facing a daunting trial that would irreversibly alter her life. In January of 2001, she stood convicted of first-degree murder, condemned to a lifetime behind bars. Yet the story did not end there. In April of the same year, Cherrylle faced another trial, this time charged in connection with the tragic fire that claimed the life of her former lover, Nancy Fillmore. The courtroom became a battleground of secrets, manipulation, and shattered trust.
