Also possibly killed a different wife in a staged accident

LINK

quote:

Henthorn told investigators that his wife paused to take photo of the view and fell face-first over the ledge. His attorney, Craig Truman, said prosecutors failed to prove he killed her.

But prosecutors argued during a two-week trial that Henthorn carefully staged Toni Henthorn's death to look like an accident because he stood to benefit from her $4.7 million in life insurance policies, which she didn't know existed. They seized on Harold Henthorn's inconsistent accounts of the fatal fall and said the evidence did not match his shifting stories.

I think it's crazy that more people don't get busted for this, especially back in the day when wives and husbands we're always dying in crazy freak accidents.

You'd think he would be better at covering his tracks, this being his second time to kill his wife!

He put an "x" mark on the trail map where the crime was to be committed. He changed his story, among other things, by claiming that he gave her CPR, even though he hadn't.

What an amateur!

How would she not be aware of polices? The insured has to sign application.

She took the fall for him.

She really fell hard for him.

Who said "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do"? Just look at her.

I wonder if that would work off the Mississippi River level.

Wow. Sounds like he took advice from Vince Marinello.
