I've seen speculation that this may be related to this:

Although it may sometimes seem like it, not everything is pedophilia-related! Another article said both were 77 years old. The missus had been confined to a wheelchair for a year or two and had descended into dementia. No signs of kid-diddling . . .

Here's the scary part: your guess might not be far-fetched.

Although it may sometimes seem like just pervs getting off on kid diddling, human trafficking has a exceptional tax-free reward for those who have the up-front money with which to invest.

Wife had dementia. Instead of shopping around for another model, he took her out and then joined her. $200 million couldn’t save her mind. One theory, anyway, FWIW.

Back in 1990, I met Irwin Jacobs when I was looking at Larson Boats to sell. Nice guy, but I never sold his boats. RIP and prayers to the family.

I'd laugh at that, but I spent yesterday afternoon working on mine. I'm not going to shoot myself, but I'm going to need alcohol in mass quantities by the end of the week.

The guy had 5 kids. That’s a low life move... and he didn’t have the excuse of poverty. He could have afforded all the care possible.

Low life.

“Well he didn’t trade her for trophy wife or go for a massage.”

Yeah, Kraft going for a massage years after his wife died. That’s exactly the same as sailing a .38 through her head./s

It’s a hell of a thing to watch a loved one slowly wither away and die.
