Thank you!
I went and looked. It looks like FR’s is settled, but there’s another hearing for HMR & CRjr on 6/11.
As far as the home owners insurance on DR, I would speculate that she did not have to have PMI insurance on it since there was a 30k down payment and the mortgage would’ve then only been for 30k. PMI is typically only used when a down payment is less than 20% OR when the loan to value ratio is high, I.e when there’s no equity. So my best guess is that no, DR would not have had that type of insurance that would pay off her home in the event of a death. Unless of course, she paid the extra on her standard house insurance to have that clause. Just from experience, most people don’t choose that option because it can be pricey and insurance companies try to not even tell the insured it’s an option.
In regards to the life insurance on the 3 Rhoden kids, I need to research, BUT it used to be in the event of a homicide, life insurance will not disperse funds until the crime is solved OR the beneficiary has been 100% cleared of any wrong doing. I would tend to believe that DR would have listed the beneficiary as herself and probably CRsr as the secondary. Since they’re both deceased, I wonder who she had listed as the 3rd beneficiary (if she even did). If there’s not a 3rd beneficiary, I’m not sure how an insurance company would handle that. Would they default the payout to the next of kin? Or in the event that CRsr wasn’t the 2nd listed beneficiary, who was? And did that person know prior to the murders?
Also, I did an address search of BJM on a couple different databases I use. One came up with zero results (odd). The other two case up with an address I’ve never seen mentioned anywhere. So, if she lived or lived on the property on LFR, she never used the address.
