About
Travis Alexander was a 30-year-old motivational speaker and salesman for Pre-Paid Legal Services (now LegalShield) who was found stabbed 27 times, shot, and nearly decapitated in his Mesa, Arizona home on June 4, 2008. Born in Riverside, California and raised in difficult circumstances, he converted to Mormonism in his twenties and became an active member of his congregation. He had ended a tumultuous relationship with Jodi Arias months before his death, though the two remained in contact. His murder trial drew national media coverage due to graphic crime scene evidence and Arias's evolving accounts of what occurred.
