A Florida woman accused of killing her husband was once his stepdaughter, according to a report.
Michael Redlick, who was found stabbed to death in January, fell in love with Danielle Redlick after her mother — and his second wife — lost her battle with cancer, according to WFTV. Authorities came to the conclusion that he had married Danielle’s mother to help with her medical coverage.
“In fairness to Mike, Danielle’s mother was dying of cancer when they were dating,” a family friend told the station. “She had terrible insurance.”
Records obtained by WFTV painted a turbulent picture of Michael and Danielle Redlick’s marriage. She claims that he flew into a rage in their Winter Park home after finding texts sent from another man.
Michael Redlick was stabbed in the shoulder during the ensuing altercation and died from his injuries, and his wife was charged with murder.
[More News] Arizona teacher accused of repeatedly having sex with sixth-grader and texting him ‘I want you every day’ pleads guilty » "I'd say to him on numerous occasions, 'Mike the consequences are going to get worse here,'" friend Jerry Rubacky told WFTV. "They're going to get more dramatic."
Danielle Redlick told investigators that he cheated on her and they had separated before deciding to move back in together, according to records.
She said the night before the stabbing he was “following me around the house,” according to WESH.
“I locked myself in the bathroom. He broke the door open. He was scaring me, so I decided to leave,” she told cops.
Danielle Redlick would also claim that her husband stabbed himself and may have had a heart attack, according to WESH.
Their children are expected to testify during the trial after telling cops that Danielle was often the aggressor during their arguments, according to WFTV.
Michael Redlick, who was 65, was a faculty member at the University of Central Florida and had previously worked as an executive with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Why did he marry this sweat hog?
I’m sure there are many back stories about these two, what with the step relationship of their past. This sounds a bit like a soap opera at first.
Florida Man Alert!
(Marries his step-daughter? Why is this not West Virginia?)
The story posted yesterday said he married the mother so she would be covered by his health insurance.
don’t fret neighbor, half of florida came from WV
I agree. Likely a sad story of a broken dysfunctional relationship.
She’s probably very adept at sucking a golf ball through a garden hose.
You don’t stop being a stepdaughter. Marrying doesn’t change that.
Wow! Sun yi is not aging well. He’ll be trading in for a younger stepdaughter soon.
I lived for forty years in the suburbs of Orlando, where WFTV is the local ABC station. Back then I thought California was the strangest place in the USA. It wasn’t until after I moved to Kentucky that I realized how unreal life in Florida can be.
That's West By Gawd Virginia to you
Michael Redlick, who was 65, was a faculty member at the University of Central Florida!
Sounds like a California left Wing professor!
Soon-Yi Previn (/ˈprɛvɪn/; born c. 8 October 1970) is the adopted daughter of actress Mia Farrow and musician André Previn, and the wife of filmmaker Woody Allen. Previn is notable for her relationship with Allen, who was Mia Farrow's romantic partner before becoming involved with Previn. Previn's relationship with Allen became national news in 1992.
It sounds like he “married” the mother as a ruse so she (the mom) could get health insurance — she was dying of cancer.
Insurance fraud, yes.
Still an OK guy, yes.
Just like you never all somebody an “Ex-Marine.” Ever.
What He Says!
It is a simple explanation if you just ‘listen’.

I’m My Own Granpa
Many, many years ago when I was 23
I was married to a widow who was pretty as can be
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
My father fell in love with her and soon they too were wed
This made my dad my son-in-law and really changed my life
For now my daughter was my mother ‘cause she was my father’s wife
And to complicate the matter even though it brought me joy
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad
And so he became my uncle though it mad me very sad
For if he were my uncle that would also made him brother
Of the widows grown-up daughter who was of course my stepmother
Father’s wife then had a son who kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild for he was my daughter’s son
My wife is now my mother’s mother and it makes me blue
Because although she is my wife she’s my grandmother two
Now if my wife is my grandmother then I’m her grandchild
And every time I think of it, nearly drives me wild
‘Cause now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother I am my own grandpaw
Oh I’m my own grandpaw
I’m my own grandpaw
It sounds funny I know but it really is so
I’m my own grandpaw
(Listen to this now)
I’m my own grandpaw
I’m my own grandpaw
I’m my own grandpaw
