And I've seen some mixed numbers.

Some sources say that John left behind $42 million in assets.

Some people say $44 million.

But either way, we are talking tens of millions of dollars.

There were millions upon millions just up for grabs, even with them having a bigger family.

Everybody was going to get a large chunk of money.

And with that type of money, you can have all the independence in the world.

And even though Nathan hadn't been paid yet, he was spending the money that he did have from John while he was alive, knowing that it would eventually be reimbursed, with even more left over after the fact.

So he bought a nice three-story farmhouse in Connecticut for only $70,000, and he made it his own.

He even bought a small $50,000 fishing boat that he named Chicken Pox.

Now, given the area that they were in, being out on the water was pretty second nature for people in Middleton.

Linda had always been somebody who enjoyed boating and fishing, and after Nathan got his own boat, they bonded even more, going on fishing trips and really just spending quality time together on the boat, reconnecting.

And it almost sounds like a happy ending, right?

As far as Linda and Nathan were concerned.

They were all set for life financially.

They were finally reconnecting.

But we know that money cannot buy happiness.

But it surely can solve a lot of problems.

And as odd as it may seem, it seemed like it really magically solved years worth of issues between Linda and Nathan.

But, you know, if you're listening to this episode, that we wouldn't be here today if there weren't more to this case.
