EP135: MONEY CHANGES EVERYTHING

Popstar Cyndi Lauper once sang, “Money Changes Everything” and
nothing could be more true. People fight about money every day, and
it pits family members against one another. Husbands against wives,
siblings against one another, parents vs. children…it goes on and
on. One such family that was affected by money was the Mack family
in Reno, Nevada. When Charla met Darren Mack and they fell madly in
love, Darren didn’t mind lavishing his bride with trips and
expensive gifts. But when Charla filed for divorce, the wheels fell
off the bus, so to speak. Once earning in excess of
$40,000.00/month, Darren claimed he only made $5,000.00/month and
could afford the financial agreement he made with Charla in Court.
But when he was ordered to pay Charla her million-dollar
settlement, Darren lost it. He decided murder was the only way to
solve his financial problems…but Charla wasn’t the only victim he
had in mind.
