I can't help but believe that old guy's family is behind both her death, and her son. We are talking billions and billions of dollars, and the family of the old guy honestly believes right or wrong, that she stole the inheritance. If I was in their shoes I'd want her dead too as cruel as it may be.
The entire story reads like a perfectly executed plan once you take a step back and look at it. She couldn't be straight up killed because her eldest son would get the fortune, so he is killed first. With him out of the way she is right for the taking, and it was done. I just hope someone has that little baby in hiding. Since the baby is far from 18 and legally the old man has other surviving relatives, so I'd say their fortune is now safe.
You may be on to something. Maybe Stern on the family payroll?
Please tell me you're not serious.
"Since the baby is far from 18"
What counts is who gets named guardian....
