I think this is so horrible. Probe after fourth husband is killed THE ASSOCIATED PRESS http://www.nydailynews.com/news/us_world/2008/06/21/2008-06-21_probe_after_fourth_husband_is_killed.html Saturday, June 21st 2008, 7:53 PM CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A man walked into the Stanly County sheriff's office with a wild tale: A woman had just offered him money to kill her husband. The officer on duty took down the information and passed it on to his superiors. "They never did anything with it," that officer, Donnie Mullis, told The Associated Press. "They just brushed it off." A few weeks later, Harold Gentry was dead. Authorities charged Betty Neumar last month with one count of solicitation of murder in his July 1986 death. Gentry was the fourth of five husbands she has buried in her 76 years. The case has drawn national attention because investigators want authorities elsewhere to look into the deaths of the other four, including one who was shot in the head and another who died of an infection that could indicate he was poisoned. Neumar, who lives in Augusta, Ga., is being held on $500,000 bond in the Stanly County jail.
