As previously reported, Mitt Romney’s sister-in-law, Carrie Elizabeth Romney, was found dead near a parking garage in Valencia, California.
Authorities responded to a call on Friday night on reports of a dead woman near a parking garage.
The woman, later identified as former Senator Mitt Romney’s sister-in-law, Carrie Romney, either jumped or fell off a five-story structure near the Valencia Town Center mall.
The 64-year-old died on scene.
Carrie Romney was married to former Senator Mitt Romney’s older brother, George Scott Romney, 81.
According to divorce records obtained by The New York Post, George Romney was trying to make sure that his wife Carrie got awarded nothing in a bitter divorce battle.
George Romney, a prominent lawyer with a very powerful and politically connected brother, sought to block his wife from receiving spousal support and said they had no shared property.
The two were married for 8 years, and their divorce was not final at the time Carried plunged to her death.
Carrie Romney’s death is still under investigation.
Police do not suspect foul play.
The New York Post reported:
Mitt Romney’s brother filed for divorce just four months before his estranged wife plunged to her death from a California parking garage – and tried to make sure courts awarded her nothing in the split, according to documents.
George Scott Romney, 81, filed the case against 64-year-old Carrie Elizabeth Romney on June 12, citing “irreconcilable differences,” according to court documents obtained by The Post.
The documents suggest Romney, a prominent lawyer, sought to make sure his estranged wife was awarded nothing by the courts.
Despite being married more than eight years, starting in 2016, he said that they had no shared property that needed to be divided by the courts.
Romney also sought to “terminate the court’s ability to award support” to either person, court documents show.
This horrific scenario represents the dark side of trad-wife trend - not saying Carrie was one - but imagine entering such a union, getting abused - whether physically or psychologically, then divorced, and things ending up like this.
Only true faith in Jesus (not lip-service, not Mormonism) as the foundation for anything is the way.
Tis really sad. John Adams our 2nd President experienced painful family matters with a son. I hate to throw dirt on Mitch for something a broken nephew has done. All of us have something similar in our own broken families. I am with Charly, lets Make American Families Great Again.
“The love of money is the root of all evil.” - 1 Timothy 6:10
So sick what that man’s greed likely led to. And what a whole industry of divorce lawyers profit to aid and abet.
Not the first woman to die at the hands of her ex.

Of course…. why would they ever “suspect foul play”. /sarc
An ‘ex’ with lots of money.......................
“ trad-wife”
Did you read it?
She was 64 he was 81. They were married eight years
Whatever happened here, she was not a trad wife. Unless I don’t get the connection to trad wife as traditional wife
The old man is 81. Is he going to take it all with him? I knew a couple like that. They are both dead now and her kids spent all the money.
Your wife is not your servant. Your wife is not your employee. Your wife is not your slave. She is your helper, you are not rivals. You are one flesh working together for the glory of God. I was Charlie's confidant. I was his vault, his closest and most trusted advisor, his best friend. I poured into him and loved him so deeply and empowered him, because his love for me drove me to be a better wife. Every day, he honored me and I prayed that I could be the wife that God needed me to be for my husband.
Yes, there are other younger women with “trad-wife” life gone wrong stories, and Mormonism I must admit does seem to be a common thread. 🫤
In fairness to Mitt Romney though, he and Ann seem to be genuinely happily married.
Think that's a motive...
Maybe Putin is moonlighting for extra cash
Carrie Romney, either jumped or fell. Well l can think of another possibility
What makes you say she died at the hands of her ex?
No.
Women take the easy way out,this is not typical.
That third active, past tense verb: pushed.
The husband got everything but her soul. Stupid.
Do NOT get married men! 75% chance it ends in disaster and the remaining 24% means you’re living in misery the rest of your life. It’s the absolute worst investment you can make in the long run.
