    I really like how the doc described their romantic attraction; she was really interested in his money, he was really interested in her body. 😂 Sounds magical!

      His mocking tone is out of bounds because literally biologically men are born to seek attractiveness in their female mates and women we are born to hunt men with resources so to be used to protect ourselves and our children which biologically makes perfect sense to me

    I live in Tucson, and I remember this case so well. A friend of mine, Keisho Kudo, was sitting in his minivan next to Gary Triano’s car when it exploded. It scared him so much that he decided to move back to Japan. I haven’t seen him since. It took so many years for them to solve this, but they finally did. This is one of those cases in which the Tucson police department did a very good job. It might’ve taken a while, but that’s because their prime suspect absconded to another country.

      His first wife was probably a normal person. But he decided she wasn't good enough

    I just want to point out that life insurance would always go to the wife. It would not go to the children as they would have been under age, and no other extended family beneficiary would have been deemed acceptable by the insurance company. They always look into this with great skepticism, everyone knows this if they have tried to open a life insurance policy. This alone is not reason for suspicion. This fact should have been left out.

    The kids did not lose a father. They lost a selfish oinker. Dying doesn't mean he was a good guy or good dad. Raise the bar. It's in the mud where most people like to keep it.

    Someone had money as premiums on that much insurance are very expensive. So stupid to think murder will solve their problems. Eventually you'll get caught and prison is no way to enjoy retirement.

    I don't like when people are killed, especially by jilted lover's, but this case made me laugh the first time I heard it. That was a few years ago. I just couldn't believe this was real! Thanks for covering it.
