Hello, True Crime and Wine Time friends. I am beyond excited to tell
0:16
you about our sponsor this week. And no it's not just because they're our
0:21
sponsor, it's because their wines are amazing Usual Wines. These wines are low
0:30
carb and have zero grams of sugar. Usual Wines are wines for the modern
0:37
drinker who loves wine made with minimal intervention. Each bottle is six point three
0:43
ounces, which is either a heavy pore or about a glass and a half.
0:48
For me, it's just my size. I love that my rose is
0:53
never stale, always fresh, and the single serve bottle design is not just
0:59
functional, but in my opinion, adorable. I no longer have to worry
1:04
about opening a bottle and feeling like I have to drink all of it that
1:08
night or more than I want to, just so don't have to pour wine
1:12
down the sink the next day, which we all know is a horrible thing.
1:19
The single serve is perfect and also allows me to have a glass of
1:23
the Brute and then try aglass of the Brute Rose with zero wine waste that
1:30
night. Usual has a red blend a Rose and a sparkling white wine called
1:37
Brute, and they have a limited production Brute Rose just for the summer,
1:44
and I have to say it is my new favorite. Usual Wines are made
1:48

True Crime and Wine time friends. It's Terry your host, and first off,
2:46
I want to say thank you for joining me today. I hope that
2:50
you are all doing well staying safe during these times. I know that I
2:54
am personally looking forward to the stay at home order being lifted and getting back
3:00
to some sort of type of normal life. Today will be part one of
3:06
two, a story about Jill, the Cereal bride, bigamoust, con artist
3:14
and murderer. I hope you're ready for a story that gives new meaning to
3:19
cereal bride and to Bunny boiler crazy. For today's episode, I am enjoying
3:25
a red blend from Usual Wines. This red blend is a bright, satisfying
3:31
sip of bean cherries, dark chocolate, and fresh violets. This wine is
3:38
expertly made in small batches from sustainably farmed grapes with no additives in minimal intervention
3:45
the real way. I am so excited to try this red blend. The
3:50
rose and the bruit are two of my new go to favorites, so I'm
3:54
hoping to add this one to my list. So let's get this opened and
4:00
poured. It's one of those nice easy openers, as I call them.
4:06
There we go. Ooh, what smells very chocolate. Ooh, I might
4:21
just need to sniff this one instead of drink it. It smells heavenly.
4:26
Let's give a little quick sip here. Ooh, very smooth and good.
4:36
Oh, really good texture. Okay, I can definitely taste chocolate in there.
4:47
Oh my goodness, that is yummy. Okay, I guess I need
4:51
to get to the case and not sit here and just drink this yummy glass
4:56
of wine. So let's get to it. Before get started, I need
5:00
to let you know this episode contains graphic content adult language. It may not
5:06
be suitable for all listeners. On July one, nineteen forty four, Henry
5:12
Albert Billiot married Juanita Engelman in New Orleans, Louisiana. They had two children,
5:18
Jill and Mark Billiot. Henry and Juanita were your typical loving couple who
5:24
worked hard to give their children a good life. Little did they know that
5:30
their lives would forever be changed when they had their daughter, Jill. Jill
5:33
was born in June of nineteen forty four. Jill was known to lie about
5:39
her age, and there is speculation that she was born sometime between nineteen forty
5:45
three and nineteen fifty. However, guys, you know I like to dig
5:49
into those things. Based on her conviction records, I'm going to assume those
5:54
are the most accurate. Her birthdate is listed as June eleventh, nineteen forty
5:59
four. Jill had a normal childhood growing up around the Bayous in Louisiana.
6:05
I don't know I live here in Texas, However, I've spent time in
6:10
Louisiana. Family members and kind of where our family comes from. Bayous can
6:15
be fun, also can be a little dark and scary, but a fun
6:18
place to grow up. Jill was a pretty girl and was very popular at
6:24
school. At the age of fifteen, Jill was sent to live with her
6:28
grandparents in Indiana, Guys. I tried not to laugh at this part.
6:33
It has said that Jill was sent there due to boy trouble, which we
6:39
can only assume means she was being a little promiscuous. I mean, she
6:43
was popular, she was beautiful. Maybe she was a little ahead of her
6:47
age group and getting into some trouble. However, her parents thought sending their
6:53
daughter to live in Indiana. It was a smaller city and had many farms.
6:59
It was a much slower life than New Orleans for a teenage girl.
7:02
Now I'm going to share a little thing about New Orleans. Since my mom's
7:08
deceased. She probably is cracking up up in heaven as I say this,
7:12
because I think I shocked her. My dad was working in New Orleans.
7:16
He was in the oil and gas business, and I was there staying for
7:21
a couple weeks during the summer, and one of his counterparts at work had
7:27
a daughter. Shannon was about the same age we were on Bourbon Street.
7:30
The apartment was overlooking the street, and I totally remember telling my mom,
7:34
Mom, when I grow up, I want to be one of those girls
7:39
down there that have on all of those sparkly clothes and the feathers and the
7:44
makeup and their hair's all done. Yeah, guys, I had no idea
7:49
what those ladies were, but I thought they were pretty and they looked cool.
7:53
So I can only imagine Indiana farm towns much slower than New Orleans.
8:00
Thing I didn't live in New Orleans, or my mom probably would have shipped
8:03
me off to a convent, so, oh my goodness. Jill once told
8:07
reporters that she became sexually active in her early teen years and that she loved
8:13
the attention of the boys. Upon getting settled into high school in North Manchester,
8:20
Indiana, Jill set out to make new friends and almost overnight became popular
8:26
with the boys, who were said to have loved her southern draw. Okay,
8:31
guys, I guess maybe moving from New Orleans to Indiana got a pretty
8:33
girl A had that Southern draw. What can I say? She They liked
8:39
her there too. It sounds like at the age of seventeen, Jill dropped
8:41
out of high school and eloped with Larry Eugene Ainen, who was nineteen.
8:48
He would become the first of many husbands for the well known, pretty and
8:54
popular Jill told a reporter, I mean many many years later, that she
9:03
wore street clothes and not a white wedding dress because white was for virgins and
9:09
she wasn't one. Wow, talk about being a little bit open about Yeah,
9:16
you know, I just wore street clothes because I wasn't a virgin,
9:18
so I shouldn't wear white. I mean, didn't have to broadcast it.
9:22
Oh well. Larry continued his job as a bricklayer and Jill found a job
9:28
working at the local bindary. As many of us know, with many young
9:33
marriages, they don't last long, and it just didn't work out. Jill
9:37
filed for divorce in March of nineteen sixty two, along with the restraining order,
9:43
alleging inhumane treatment. She said that Larry treated her very inhumanely. Larry's
9:52
side of the story is that Joel cleaned out their joint bank account took all
9:56
of his hard earned money. He probably made more. Larry also told the
10:01
courts that it was he who had suffered inhumane treatment, but he agreed he
10:07
and Jill could no longer live together as husband and wife. Guys, their
10:11
divorce was granted just a few weeks. Shy of what would have been their
10:15
one year anniversary, I gave it a goog. I couldn't really find out
10:20
what inhumane treatment, you know, was referred to. I found so many
10:26
different things. It was just too too wide open for interpretation. So basically
10:31
they didn't last a year. They got divorced. After the divorce, and
10:33
at age eighteen, Jill moved back to Louisiana with her parents and guys.
10:39
She finished her high school education and got her diploma, So that that's a
10:45
good thing, you know, getting her feet back on the ground. Wasn't
10:48
gonna let it distract her, or so she thought. After Jill got her
10:54
high school diploma, she enrolled at Northwestern State University of Louisiana and Natcha.
11:00
In there she met husband number two, Stephen Moore. Stephen was a fellow
11:07
student at Northwestern State University and was said to be one of Jill's most persistent
11:13
suitors. Persistence paid off. Jill was popular once again with the guys on
11:18
campus, just as she had been in high school. And also Jill was
11:22
known for being dressed to the nines and knew how to get and keep a
11:28
man's attention. A lot of the articles I read said that she practiced this.
11:33
I mean, she made eye contact with them, knew how to hold
11:35
that linger just a little bit longer used her womanly ways. I guess is
11:41
the easier way to say that. On May fifth, nineteen sixty four,
11:46
Stephen and Jiel married in a civil ceremony in Mississippi. On May fifth,
11:50
nineteen sixty four, Stephen and Jewel married in a civil ceremony in Mississippi,
11:54
with a full religious ceremony following in October in Louisiana. A few weeks after
12:01
getting married, Jill realized she was pregnant, and on March twenty eighth,
12:07
nineteen sixty five, Jill and Stephen welcome their son, Stephen Seth Moore,
12:13
into the world. Sadly, at the time that Stephen was born, Jill
12:20
and Stephen were already separated. Their marriage was irrepairable. Jill took right back
12:26
up where she left off and was enjoying life again. I mean here she
12:31
had a young son still in diapers. But Jill met the man who will
12:37
become husband number three. Okay, guys, I don't know if you're keeping
12:41
track, but I mean within a couple of years we're on. Husband number
12:46
three gets a little crazy from here on out. William Clark Quoit Junior,
12:50
who went by Clark, worked for Tenaco Oil and Gas and was in Louisiana
12:56
overseeing a project when he met Jill. Clark had worked hard all day and
13:01
stopped by Barns enjoying a cool drink when he laid eyes on Jill. Clark
13:07
was single, in his mid thirties and had spent all of his time working
13:11
his way up the corporate ladder. However, it is said one look at
13:16
Jill and Clark was mesmerized by her beauty and he began to think maybe it
13:24
was time to settle down. I mean, guys, she was magical somehow,
13:28
I guess. And Jill thought Clark was perfect. He had an excellent
13:33
job, made above average money, with lots of future earning potential. Clark
13:39
loved Jill's beauty and her youth. Little did he know that she was also
13:43
extremely ambitious, ruthless, and was already becoming well versed at spinning her web
13:52
of wise deceat and being a con artist. Hey, True crime and Wine

15:54
without the are Best Fiends. August twenty seventh, nineteen sixty five, Jill
16:02
filed for divorce from Stephen Moore, husband number two. Clark and Jill were
16:06
living together in Clark's apartment and were said to be totally head over hills in
16:11
love. You know this first couple of months or hetty, Everything's perfect,
16:15
like brand new pair of shoes. Right that Thanksgiving, Clark took Jill home
16:18
to Cleveland so he could introduce and show her off to his family. Jill,
16:22
being that master of luring people in it is said she made a great
16:27
impression on the family. I found this very interesting. Clark's family was not
16:33
aware that Jill had an infant son. Jill left her infant son back in
16:38
New Orleans with the babysitter. Hello, that should have been a red flag
16:45
for Clark. Or maybe Clark didn't want his family to know because he wanted
16:48
him to fall in love with her before he found out she had a child.
16:52
But me, I think that's a little odd. I mean, I
16:56
can't help but wonder if that was Jill's idea, if she figured parents would
17:00
not be thrilled to have their son dating a married woman who, yes,
17:04
she was separated, still married, and had an eight month old child.
17:08
Clark was very close with his brothers, his parents, and their families.
17:15
In the new year, Clark and Jill celebrated their love by getting married on
17:19
January twenty ninth, nineteen sixty six, making Clark officially husband number three guys.
17:27
Clark's family was shocked and devastated to find out that they had gotten married.
17:33
They were not invited, which was so a Mike Clark. He was
17:37
known as that fun uncle. He hung out with the kids, went to
17:41
see his parents, talked to his brothers on the phone. I mean,
17:44
he was close with them. They were happy because Clark met somebody settled down.
17:51
Wasn't always putting his job first. I mean, I'm a mom,
17:53
I would I can see that You're like, you know what, I wish
17:56
we could have been there, but so glad that you're happy. However,
17:59
Clark and his family were all kept in the dark of the fact Jill was
18:03
still legally married to Steven Moore, and in fact, their divorce was not
18:10
finalized until March twenty third, nineteen sixty seven. Yes, friends, Jill
18:17
was officially a big miss and was married to two men for fourteen months.
18:22
I mean, trust me when I say this is tame. Jill's life gets
18:26
a lot crazier and she will become a woman with so many secrets. I
18:33
don't know how in the hell she kept them straight. I couldn't keep them
18:37
straight just reading and researching. I literally had to get out my marker on
18:41
my whiteboard and follow it because it's crazy. So Yes started her career as
18:47
a big a mess. Now. Jill and Clark were happy in the beginning,
18:51
and when they moved to Houston, they became close friends with another couple.
18:56
BB McCurdy also worked for Tennaco and the we purchased a home near the
19:00
McCurdy's. Babe's wife, Virginia, was a former Georgia Peach and got along
19:07
great with Jill. They were both these Southern women, you know how it
19:11
goes in southern bales. Yes, I'm getting a little twangy here. Like
19:14
I said, they got along great. The couple lived in Sharpstown, which
19:18
at the time was a very nice neighborhood with its own country club in Houston.
19:22
I haven't been to the Sharpstown area in several years. Last I remembered
19:26
it had started to take a turn being an older neighborhood. I'm still there's
19:30
still some really nice pockets within Sharpstown, but back then it was up and
19:37
coming country club, very nice place to be. This foursome spent many nights
19:41
in weekends hanging out together. They had a lot of fun. They did
19:45
barbecues, trips. It was just two young couples enjoying life. Jill and
19:53
Clark were enjoying their life in Houston, and we're excited to welcome a baby
19:59
boy on November eleventh, nineteen sixty six, whom they named William Andrew Quait.
20:07
They called the New Bundle of Joy. Andrew since quite Stad went by
20:11
William and Clark went by Clark to kind of keep things straight. Like I
20:17
said, my brain gets a little confused with all these Williams. But like
20:21
I said, a fact that just keeps blowing my mind is that Jill was
20:25
still legally married to Stephen Moore when she had this baby. H It's crazy.
20:30
This lady had some serious issues. Thankfully, we have the internet,
20:34
we have computers nowadays. Thankfully. By the time Clark and Jill's next Sun
20:40
was born on March first, nineteen sixty eight, Jill was divorced and only
20:45
married to one man. See it's the little things that make me happy,
20:52
you know. She was only married to one man when she had that second
20:55
baby. This baby was named William Clark quite a third. Here we go
21:00
with William again, and they decided to call the baby Billy or Bill to
21:07
keep things simple because he couldn't go by Clark obviously. I mean, guys,
21:11
I guess the family liked the name William, but they didn't want to
21:15
have a lot of William's up functions. But I guess, I guess it
21:19
makes sense. During the birth of Billy, a partial hysterectomy was performed on
21:23
Jill friends, I'm telling you you may want to put a pen in that,
21:27
as this topic will come up time and time again. The family was
21:33
like most young families. They spent time grilling out, having friends over,
21:37
and it has said they in truly enjoyed the family life. Jill, however,
21:42
became bored and was a huge flirt that took her flirting a little bit
21:48
far. Her behavior started causing huge issues for the couple and for their close
21:53
friends, the McCarty's. In the year after Billy's birth, story started going
21:59
around about Jill having affairs with several men, everything from pool boy, the
22:06
kids, doctors, they're sports trainers. I mean. The rumors were that
22:11
she was getting around's best way to say it. It was rumored that she
22:15
slept with many people. The mccurty said they felt sorry for the couple.
22:21
They were sorry for Clark if Jill was having these affairs, and they were
22:25
sorry for Jill if it was all just rumors, because she was being slammed.
22:30
Unfortunately, during a holiday party, Jill was upset and over shared with
22:37
BB McCurdy that a guy she was seeing had the audacity to be cheating on
22:41
her. I mean, come on, she thinks it's okay for her to
22:47
cheat, but not for the guy to cheat on her. I mean she's
22:52
married, hello. But needless to say, she threw a huge fit,
22:56
so little one sided. Not long after this holiday party, Clark and Jill
23:02
started the merry go round cycle of separating, getting back together, separating,
23:07
getting back together. Clark loved her and he really wanted to keep his family
23:14
together. Jill filed for divorce in October nineteen sixty nine, claiming that Clark
23:18
was drunk. She wanted full custody of the boys, plus she wanted half
23:23
of everything. Imagine that. A few weeks after Jill filed the divorce papers,
23:30
her and Clark once again decided to get back together. Jill withdrew the
23:34
divorce petition and moved back into the family home. I mean Jill thought about
23:40
it. She was like, he's a good provider, he was generous with
23:42
his money. He loved the boys. So and Clark had adopted Jill's first
23:48
son, Steven Seth Moore. I tell you his full name because they legally
23:55
changed his name. I don't know why, but to Jonathan Seth quite,
24:00
I mean change his last name. But we had to change his whole name.
24:03
What I also found interesting is that no one let his biological father know
24:10
about this. And I researched Doug. I couldn't find anything about whether or
24:15
not Steven was still involved with his son. Maybe he was totally out of
24:18
the picture, and that's way he wasn't informed. After the reconciliation, Jill
24:23
started her first of many legal battles that will follow through the rest of her
24:29
life and still going on today. Jill was rear ended and filed a huge
24:34
lawsuit against the driver and the company who employed the driver. The case never
24:41
went to trial and was settled for an undisclosed amount. Clark and Jel's marriage
24:47
was not getting any better, and in September of nineteen seventy one, Clark
24:52
arrived home to find the boys home alone with the housekeeper. Jill had packed
24:56
up, went home to New Orleans and resumed her single lifestyle. Okay,
25:03
Jill, you're not getting any mother of the Year points here, Okay,
25:07
just not okay, guys, this wine is really good. I can really
25:11
taste the bean cherries now, Okay, I may need to like stop recording
25:17
and go drink some more of a it's so good. Jill left her boys
25:19
back in Houston for five months and only visited them a few times. Then,
25:26
out of the blue, on February twenty second, nineteen seventy two,
25:30
Clark returned home from work to find that much of the furniture had been removed
25:34
and his youngest son, Billy, was left behind and was crying. Guys,
25:41
why did she leave the little kid? I don't know. A few
25:44
days later, Jill returned, cleaned out the rest of the furniture, and
25:48
took Billy with her. On March first, nineteen seventy two, Clark filed
25:52
for divorce in Harris County, accusing his wife of abandoning her husband, home,
25:59
family, and he asked for primary custody of the children. Yeah,
26:03
I mean he took care of him for five months while she was off running
26:07
around. Wednesday, March twenty ninth, nineteen seventy two, Clark failed to
26:11
show up for work and a little after eight am, BB McCurdy called his
26:15
wife, Virginia and said, Hey, go over to Clark's house check on
26:21
him. You know, went out last night for drinks. Maybe he drank
26:23
too much. But in the back of you know, Bbe's mind, he
26:26
was like, uh, oh, did he take his own life. He's
26:29
been really depressed. He really loves Jill. What's going on now? I
26:33
also have to tell you. Bbe specifically told his why if he doesn't answer
26:37
the door, don't go in the house, don't do anything, just call
26:41
me. Well, Virginia went over there, she pulled up. She knocked
26:47
on the front door. There was no answer, so she went around to
26:49
the back door, tried knocking again. Once again, there was no answer.
26:55
However, she decided to try the door and it was unmocked. Virginia
27:00
carefully led herself into the home and she walked through the laundry room, the
27:03
kitchen, then into the den, where she peered down the hallway into her
27:10
shock and horror, there was Clark lying on the floor in his boxers and
27:15
T shirt covered in blood. There was a large pool of blood on the
27:18
floor and smears on the wall. Virginia grabbed the phone in the kitchen and
27:23
called her husband and said, I quote, I don't know if he's dead
27:27
or not, but there's blood all over and he's laying in the hall.
27:34
Bibe instructed her to call for an ambulance and then to call for the police.
27:40
Friends, for those of you who were like me and are saying,
27:42
why didn't she just call nine one one? Well, guess what, Nine
27:47
one one wasn't a thing back then, which I didn't realize that seventy two
27:51
we didn't have nine one one. Apparently we did not. Bibe then told
27:56
a fellow coworker that he was heading over to Clark's house because something was not
28:00
right. The coworker, Revis Maggard, decided to go along with baby to
28:03
Clark's house. The duo worried that Clark had done it to himself because he
28:08
had been severely depressed. He missed his wife, he missed his children.
28:14
However, even without an autopsy, the police could tell this was not an
28:18
accident. It was a murder clar and simple. They could tell this by
28:22
the gunshot wounds on Clark's body. Upon checking the house and being informed that
28:27
Clarke had withdrawn ten thousand dollars the previous day and had been carrying in his
28:32
wallet and shown it at the bar, the police did not find the ten
28:36
thousand dollars that Clark had been showing around the bar earlier the night before,
28:40
or Clark's wallach, which he was known to carry a decent amount of cash
28:45
in his jewelry was still on his body, and the only other item that
28:48
was missing was a forty one caliber Magnum gun. During the autopsy, the
28:52
medical examiner found twenty two caliber bullets. Clark Quait had been shot in the
28:57
back and in his head. One of the twenty two caliber bullets had bounced
29:03
around inside Clark's body and caused massive amounts of internal damage. The bullet pulled
29:08
from his brain was shattered into many small pieces. On the final report,
29:14
it was stated that Clark quite died from one gunshot wound to the head and
29:18
one to the back. Clark'swhile it was found several days after his death in
29:22
a ditch, the murder weapon, to this day has never been found.
29:26
Clark's friends and family told the police about the contentious divorce and all of the
29:32
crazy stunts that Jill had pulled over the last several months. Jill was,
29:36
as most spouse as are, somewhat of interest, and the police wanted to
29:41
talk with her. Many of Clark's friends, co workers, and the general
29:45
public in Houston were outraged with the Houston Police Department during this time. The
29:52
public felt that the police did not care about solving crimes and that maybe they
29:56
were corrupt. Let me go back to when Clark was killed, BB,
30:00
who is Clark's closest friend, was the one to call Jill at her parents'
30:04
house in New Orleans to notify her that her husband had been killed. Biebe
30:10
says that Jill reacted as one would think they would when getting bad news.
30:15
She was shocked. She asked why, how, how could this happen?
30:21
Et cetera. Within roughly forty eight hours, BB received to call at his
30:26
office in Houston from a Luis A d Rosa, Jill's attorney, who was
30:32
calling to ask about the company's death benefits. Okay, guys, really within
30:38
forty eight hours, could we have a funeral bury him? Let some time
30:45
go maybe drive to Houston, Jill. Seriously, However, the reason they
30:49
called BB is because he was the company's employee benefit manager at the time.
30:56
Guys, I have to say I can't imagine being BB in getting that call
31:00
just within a couple of days after Clark's death. I mean, this was
31:04
his best friend. I'm sure Boebe was sitting there and going, really,
31:10
Be, you're calling and asking me this, Why aren't you calling to see
31:15
what we found? Out something besides oh when can I get my money?
31:18
Sorry, guys, it enrages me. Just dismidged that. I mean,
31:22
she had children, he adopted her son. Why did she not have a
31:27
little bit more? Even if you're getting divorced, you care about you know,
31:33
your soon to be ex husband, the father of your children, or
31:36
maybe you don't. Jill and Clark were still legally married, since Clark had
31:41
only filed for the divorce twenty days before he was murdered. Still, I
31:47
guess it. I think she could have waited to get an attorney and start
31:51
asking about the payout. Cold hearted b Okay, I guess I can say
31:56
cold hearted bitch is the nicest thing I can say about Jill. Jill received
32:00
one hundred and fifty six thousand dollars from Clark's benefits, along with six hundred
32:04
and eighty nine shares of Tenneco stock. It has also reported Jill received Clark's
32:09
parents estate that was left to Clark through one hundred and fifty thousand dollars trust
32:15
fund set up for the boys. See, guys, Jill got to control
32:21
all of that money. Jill's attorney de Rosa notified Bby that Jill had been
32:24
checked into a psychiatric hospital after cutting her own wrist. Jill was extremely upset
32:30
about how she would survive as a single mother and raise three boys on her
32:36
own. Interestingly enough, by being in the hospital, the Houston police were
32:40
not able to question Jill about her husband and his murder. Houston detective Sergeant
32:47
Benford said, and I quote, we wanted to talk to her, but
32:52
she hid behind attorneys. The same detective told the National Inquirer twenty years later
32:58
that Jill Quoit was the only only suspect and they never questioned her. Okay,
33:04
guys, I think I would be like the coworker's friend's family in Houston,
33:09
saying, why are you not researching this? You think it's this woman?
33:14
When she got out of the hospital, why weren't you tracking her down?
33:16
I mean, come on, guys. Clark's family handled the scheduling of
33:22
the funeral. Jill nor the children attended the funeral for William Clark Quoite.
33:28
Clark's family spread Clark's ashes at the Chagrin River. Clark's brother Charles told author
33:35
Clifford L. Lindecker, who wrote Poisoned Vowels, that twenty years later he
33:40
still had not heard a word from the Houston Police Department about his brother's murder.
33:46
After being released from the psychiatric hospital, Jill decided it was time for
33:52
a change of scenery, or, as I suspect, a new pool of
33:55
suckers for her to go after. She packed up the kiddos and headed to
34:00
sunny California. Jill, being the conniving woman she is, told her boys
34:05
that their dad died of a heart attack. I guess that was easier than
34:09
saying I killed him, had someone to kill him, or someone shot him.
34:15
I mean all that's just my opinion. Jill and the boys settled in
34:20
Los Angeles to start their next chapter, and as you can guess, friends,
34:24
it wasn't long before Jill had a couple of new men in her life.
34:29
And I have to say, one of these relationships is very weird and
34:34
a whole lot creepy. But that's all for today. We will continue next
34:39
week with part two. Thank you for listening to True Crime and Wine Time.
34:45
Until next week, stay safe, watch out for crime, and enjoy
34:51
your wine time. This episode was researched by Terry Dusaul, edited by Handsome
