CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A cold case squad for the U.S. Navy is re-examining evidence in the death of a man who was the third husband of a woman who has five dead husbands in five states, including Ohio.
Family members of the late Petty Officer Richard Sills praise the Navy for taking a second look at his death, which was ruled a suicide in 1967. Sills was living in the Florida keys with his wife, Betty Neumar, when he died.
The 77-year-old Neumar has been charged in North Carolina with solicitation to commit first-degree murder in the 1986 death of her fourth husband, Harold Gentry.
Authorities in Ohio have also said they are re-examining unsolved 1970 slaying of Betty Neumar's first husband, Clarence Malone. Records show Malone and Neumar were married in 1950 in
Ironton, Ohio.
