Poor Bob! Everyone seemed to be after his money. I find it quite odd that Fontelle would think that Bob’s money, house etc should be hers. They were married such a short time and were only reunited after many years. How well did Bob really know her? When they did met when they were young....how long was that romance .... not really that long. Why should Fontelle get money etc that Bob and his wife worked hard to achieve?
I found it totally repulsive to read how Fontelle was throwing items out of the house that were Bobs, his late wife’s and possibly other family members. It was up to family members to go through the house contents. Fontelle certainly was not exempt from greed and certainly imo, exempt from suspicion.
Edited to spell Fontelle’s name properly
Well, I'm sure Bob's children would agree with you. : )
If for nothing else, this sad, sad story serves to remind all of us how critically important it is to have our affairs in order, and have proper legal representation to help stave off charlatans. In this case, it's unclear WHO the charlatan(s ) were.
Although, I must say, I am leaning heavily in one direction based on the neighbor's blog I just finished reading.
In certain aspects, this case reminds me a bit of Anna Nicole Smith and her old rich husband "Paw-paw". From the grin on his face in pictures, it certainly seems she made him happy. His son fought her ferociously over "Paw-paw's" estate, and lost. Oddly, both Anna Nicole and the son passed away not too terribly long after that money battle.
Unless someone has been deemed incompetent, they can spend their money as they see fit, and give it to whomever they wish. In this case, Bob chose Fontelle. Was Fontelle opportunistic? Who knows, and it really doesn't matter.
This type of scenario of an old guy threatening his kids inheritance with a new honey is nothing new. However, murder, (as is being speculated), is rarely an outcome; at least that we know of.
Wherever you are Bob, I hope you are at peace.
I hope that the family and Fontelle can come to some rationale settlement, and focus on seeking justice for Bob if they haven't already.
