I think if there is an insurance policy on KB, then PF took it out and the beneficiary is himself. In fact, taking out such a policy may have been the first step in his plot to murder. Nothing in this case will surprise me. JMO
A guardianship needs to brought in my state when a minor is named as the beneficiary and the blood mother/father has no rights to the money except through the court. Every dime that is put in the locked account has to be petitioned by the guardian and approved by the Judge. I do not know how this works in Colorado. We just finished this exact scenario - surviving parent is not happy at all.
I tried to name my best friend - United Healthcare denied my beneficiary designation and I had to name a blood relative. This is through work insurance - I know you can carry key-man (woman) policies which name each other/company as the beneficiary - private insurance IMO. If KB had a life insurance policy through her employer - she may have had a restriction like I do. If this is the case, she may have named her mother. No one really knows at this point. I just do not personally believe money was the motive. JMO
I did not see the MSM report, so I do not know the exact wording they used however, as stated here, that is completely inaccurate. The difference in pleading the 5th in a criminal vs. a civil case is that when a defendant asserts their Fifth Amendment rights during a criminal trial, jurors are not permitted to take the refusal to testify into consideration when deciding whether a defendant is guilty. In a civil case, however, defendants are not protected against jury bias with respect to liability. This means that a jury is free to make inferences when a defendant chooses not to testify in a civil trial for fear of self-incrimination. This does NOT mean that they are "declared guilty."
They are headquartered in London, but have employees all over the US, from what I understand.
lol lol lol
Maybe use the post number and thread number. Your post is #871. That's what I do, anyway, if I really want to pick up exactly where I left off.
Yep - most people may not know this because they naturally name their spouse or adult children (depending on the age). I'm sure each insurance company/benefits plan is different - this is just how mine is. They said she had no "special interest" in me because we were not married or blood related.
Oh no, don’t go there...... I never could get past one particular episode of Breaking Bad....
Im going with Door #3 too.
Wouldnt it be something if we find out he dumped her purse and body down a mineshaft and went back to retrieve her car but he had forgotten the keys to her car were in her purse.
I think he's incredibly stupid, and he's a person who's been able to sell his bulldoodles for years. He's sold it so long, he's buying it himself. Look, a smart criminal would have taken at least one vehicle and driven it somewhere and ditched it. Not only was he not smart, he was a moron in that he didn't even pack one change of clothes. Goodness gracious even a 2nd grader would grab a few articles of clothing and burn them or take them with the body. He does none of this. Instead he has his gf take his fiance's phone to her home, send a couple of texts and then think he's going to get away with it. Stupid and lazy. OH and let's not forget he solicits his fiance's murder three times. He doesn't need to talk, his stupid and lazy actions are telling the story for him.
I don't think he did that even that much thinking. He's lazy, that's why he wanted to find someone else to kill her. That's why he had his gf drive 22 hours to get a phone and bring it back home. It's probably why he mooches off his mommy too.
What if a family member, even a distant one, is a solicitee? Frankly, I seriously doubt it, but LE and the Berreths' lawyers must be confident there are no family members involved at any level. Maybe it is spelled out that only certain family members can be contacted.
