What Happened to Fugitive Mom on Dr Phil?

Dr. Phil spent approximately two hours interviewing Davis, who stands accused of the 2012 murder of his mother. Although Sheriff Williams wasn’t present for this session, Dr. Phil and his crew spent much of the interview in an empty courtroom nearby where his trial is set to commence on April 23.

In 2007, an emotional Texas marriage was examined in depth on an episode of Dr. Phil. Entitled “A Model’s Dangerous Marriage,” it featured then-model Stephanie in the midst of her turbulent relationship with her then husband whom she accused of strangulating her with a knife while their daughter watched on from nearby.

Heist was out of contact for 11 years before reappearing last year in Florida and revealed on the show that she had been living an eccentric beach bum life, traveling, working as a housekeeper, stealing driver’s licenses of her clients, and eventually landing herself behind bars. While on camera Heist’s mother surprised her by coming in during an interview and offering support. She expressed that she loved and wanted to help heal Heist as an individual.
