Apparently, the wife's plan succeeded in the fact that her husband was killed.  The interesting thing is that she failed to find out if the husband had updated the beneficiary.  Guess who got paid out of this?   :facepalm:   

Of course, she is getting free room and board for life anyway.

Reminds me of the guy who killed his children for the life insurance money (burned the house down) but forgot to pay the premium.

Seems like the daughter should have been tried as an adult.

I see she also tried to play the "he was abusive!" card.

Be careful who you marry.

Remember that ALL humans are flawed and don't expect perfection. You will find something about EVERYONE that you don't like. (Most of us, even about ourselves.)

However, "won't kill me" ought to be a minimally acceptable starting point. (And that ought to include not just intentionally doing so.)

At least run their name through http://www.judici.com/ (http://www.judici.com/), or whatever your local equivalent is.

I've often wondered how many "black widow" murders there are out there, adjudicated or not.

I had an acquaintance who, I strongly suspect, was a victim of this syndrome.  I heard from a relative that she was really, really upset when she found out afterwards that the house was in his mother's name, not his. This, while a natural reaction, was in addition to prior little things.

Cremated and refused an autopsy would seem to be key items, I guess.
