Gloria Aiken, who is currently serving a 12-year term in the Texas Department of Corrections following a guilty plea to manslaughter, is breaking her silence from behind bars.
In a revealing interview with Oxygen’s Snapped: Behind Bars, set to air on Sunday, Nov. 16 at 6/5c p.m., Gloria asserts her innocence in the brutal death and subsequent dismemberment of her longtime partner, George Frazier.
“This is the first time I’m telling my story,” Gloria stated in a preview of the upcoming episode. “I am not responsible for what happened to George.”
What Gloria Aiken says now
During the interview, filmed on February 28, 2025, at the Dr. Lane Murray Unit in Gatesville, Texas, Aiken detailed the events that led to her arrest, hoping to vindicate herself.
“I’m sitting in prison,” she expressed in the preview, “because law enforcement couldn’t find anyone else.”
Others interviewed in the episode asserted that innocent people don’t take deals and noted that 12 years is a light sentence.
But Aiken was steadfast. “I would never do anything to hurt that man,” she insisted. “If anything, I would protect him.”
What happened to George Frazier?
In 2005, Frazier and Aiken, a mother of two, had been a couple for seven years. He took care of the household in Ennis, Texas, while Aiken worked at the nearby Hutchins State Jail.
Their lives changed on Feb. 18, 2008 when Aiken called 911 to report Frazier missing. “She said he left to see a friend and never came back,” Ennis Police CID Lieutenant Mike Hopson told Snapped, which covered the case in 2022.
On March 1, 2008, a human leg was found near a nearby lake. In the ensuing days, a head and torso were also discovered. Dental records identified the remains as belonging to Frazier, who’d been shot twice in the head.
After failing a polygraph test, Aiken got a lawyer. A March 11 search of her home turned up blood in a car, on a baseball bat and furniture. Investigators also learned that Aiken was seeing a co-worker and Frazier had a $250,000 life insurance policy.
After a number of twists and turns, the case stalled. In 2014, Aiken, who’d collected the insurance payout, was living in South Carolina. She was arrested there and extradited to Texas.
In 2017, she pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to 12 years.
Aiken is projected to be released in 2026 after serving her full 12-year sentence. She’ll be 59 years old.
