GUILTY MO - Criste Reimer, 47, thrown from balcony, Kansas City, 14 Aug 2007

Did the woman have terminal cancer? I didn't see it mentioned in the linked articles. If the woman had SSI then she should have had Medicaid. Sounds like she recently left him and that's why he killed her.

Not nessisarily (SP?). my FIL was denied medicaid at first and recieves SSI. He was put on a temporary waiver through medicaid. He can be dropped at any time.He will qualify for medicaire in the year 2009. he didn't qualify for traditional medicaid because his whopping 640 dollars SSI was too much income I guess. It is not as easy and cut and dry as you might think to get on medicaid. I thought the same thing until this all started with him.

Could not find any MSM about the resolution of this case, but I believe Reimer took a plea deal. According to Missouri DOC records, he's now serving life in prison for 2nd degree murder.
