One person I forgot to mention in my financial gain post -- AC's attempted assassination of Brandon Boudreaux. BB was the father of four kids, a successful businessman/sales rep providing his family of stay at home wife and four kids with a comfortable living.
A a sole breadwinner, he would likely have had one or more significant life insurance policies that would have paid out to Melani, who was enough of a Lori alcolyte that she walked away from a great marriage. Had AC been successful, there was a house, cars, life insurance, other substantial assets, really quite the bonanza for Melani.
I still can't believe that Melani skated on all this. I'm sure investigators worked hard to tie her to the attempted murder of her husband BY HER UNCLE, AC, during an acrimonious divorce.
Side note: I was googling for some background info on Brandon and Melani and came across this article on thelorivallowstory.com about BB's successful defamation lawsuit:
Who paid Brandon Boudreaux $12,000,000
CV was a decent man and a good husband. BB also. LCD is in jail, Melani has lost contact with her children with BB. They walked away from great lives with good and caring husbands for a cult that believed in zombies, because they believed they'd become exalted as part of the 144,000.
