He had employment woes, was accused by his daughter of sexual molestation, and had an affair with a younger woman while married to his first wife. He was the prime suspect in the bludgeoning deaths of his first wife and her mother. He lost hundreds of thousands of dollars as a day trader, by one account he may have lost $300,000 in the year before the incident. Source(s): None.
