Each episode delves into the criminals’ actions and their lasting impact on the affected communities
Worst Neighbor Ever chronicles four tragic true stories about neighbors who turned violent.
The first episode of the four-part Netflix docuseries, which hit the streamer on July 1, follows married couple Shawna and David Scott who lived in a small community in Mount Sterling, Ky., but their lives changed forever when one of their former family friends, Frances Zaayer, moved in next door.
Meanwhile, the second episode documents the story of an Indianapolis couple blowing up their home in an insurance scam, which resulted in the deaths of their neighbors, John “Dion” Longworth and Jennifer Longworth. In the third episode, Miles Armstead begged the police to stop his former neighbor Jamal “JT” Thomas from harassing his family, but it ultimately cost him his life.
Finally, the fourth episode shows how conwoman Caroline “Carrie” Herrling conducted a fraud scheme that resulted in her allegedly dismembering and disposing of Charles Wilding’s body to prevent anyone from learning the truth.
Here’s everything to know about where the criminal neighbors from Worst Neighbor Ever are now.

Frances Zaayer had grown up alongside Shawna Scott and her tight-knit family in the small town of Mount Sterling, Ky. Upon getting divorced, Zaayer moved back to the community, and Shawna let her move in with her and her husband, David Scott.
However, in January 2017, Shawna told Zaayer that she needed to leave after they had a few fights. Two months later, Zaayer moved into an adjacent home and eventually got into a physical altercation with Shawna that resulted in Shawna being arrested but quickly released, per WKTY.
For the next several months, Zaayer continued harassing both Shawna’s family and the police by shouting at their grandchild, disregarding property lines and recording them and making false claims on social media, per The Guardian. She constantly called the police to report her various annoyances.
On May 26, 2018, Zaayer walked into Shawna and David’s home and shot Shawna in the face and David in the heart. Shawna was hospitalized and survived with serious injuries, but David — a beloved Montgomery County deputy jailer — died.
Zaayer was immediately considered the prime suspect and, after a standoff with the police, was arrested. She was charged with murder, attempted murder and burglary. In January 2022, she pleaded guilty to murder, second-degree assault and first-degree endangerment.
She was sentenced to 35 years in prison and is serving her sentence at the Kentucky Correctional Institution for Women, per inmate records. She is expected to serve until December 2046 and is eligible for parole in May 2038.
