GA - Carol Marlin, Margaret Ginn & Kasi Peek, murdered, Cobb County, 1996 & 2005

[concernedperson]

The estranged husband of a Smyrna woman found shot to death in October can't collect on her $500,00 life insurance policy, a court has ruled.

The court filings leading to that decision also provides new details about the hours leading up to the discovery of her body.

The family of Kasi Peek won a temporary court order Friday preventing John Peek from collecting on his wife's policy or any of her other assets until a wrongful death lawsuit against him is heard.

On October 2, John Peek called 911 and said he had discovered his wife's body in her Smyrna condominium. Two weeks later, Peek was in jail charged with murder---but not in his wife's death.

I'm glad the latest's family has blocked him from collecting. I noticed he was already working on another one.

Two for sure. I hope is charged soon with Kasi's death. Notice the size of the insurance policies.....700,000 and 500,000 dollars!

He must have lived well, he collected on the first wife didn't he?

A wrongful death suit forced him relinguish a large portion of the $700,000 but it doesn't say how much. I would say he definately gets around. Creep!

I'm surprised at just how many guys like him are out there. Maybe it's just that we are saturated with daily stories about this sort of thing, but it seems like every time I turn on the TV, there's a story about a husband who has killed one or more wives. And usually, he uses the same method each time.

I can see how the family of the wife might not put things together...but what about his family? Yet another hot tub accident, or a fall down the stairs...or whatever the case. How many funerals can his family attend before they begin to wonder what's going on....
