True Crime Tuesday: Money leads to lies murder forgery but NO JAIL TIME!

On this week's edition of True Crime Tuesday, we received a call that left us all in shock. This girl killed her father to get all of his money but she roped her best friends into the plot without them knowing but in the end! Wait till you hear what happened!!

The Shocking Story Unfolds

Our caller recounted how her best friend and her husband found themselves entangled in a nightmarish situation. It all began when Liz, a mutual friend and an attorney, called them in a panic. Liz’s father and his fiancée had been brutally attacked at their luxurious Lake of the Ozarks home in Missouri. The fiancée did not survive, and Liz’s father was left critically injured, eventually being life-flighted to the University of Missouri Hospital.

In the midst of this chaos, Liz claimed she had urgent legal documents related to her father's estate that needed immediate attention. These documents, she said, had been signed but not yet notarized. She requested our caller’s best friend and her husband to witness the signing of these papers, trusting their close friendship.

The Plot Thickens

As it turned out, Liz had forged her father's signature on these documents. This revelation pulled our caller’s friends into a web of legal trouble they never saw coming. They were charged as accomplices to the murder because one of the documents they witnessed was a durable power of attorney, which allowed Liz to make critical decisions about her father's medical care. Liz ultimately chose to take her father off life support, a decision that further implicated our caller’s friends.

They spent 13 days in jail and then were placed under house arrest for a year and a half until the trial. The suspense and emotional strain were unimaginable as they awaited their fate.

The Courtroom Drama

When the trial finally arrived, the truth began to unravel. Evidence suggested that Liz herself was involved in the attack on her father and his fiancée. Her cell phone records placed her near the scene of the crime at the time of the murders. Despite this damning evidence, a procedural error in subpoenaing the cell phone records led to her acquittal on the charges related to the fiancée’s murder.

The Aftermath

In the end, no one was convicted for the murders, and Liz inherited her father’s fortune. The fiancée’s son, who was poised to inherit a significant portion of the estate, filed a substantial lawsuit against Liz. The case not only revolved around the financial inheritance but also sought to bring justice for his mother’s untimely death.

Reflections and Reactions
