But when the detectives then probed and asked if that fight had anything to do with what happened the next morning, you know, Keith being shot in the head, she was very quick to say no.

She said that was just all a complete coincidence.

Now, does it really make sense for Darlene to kill her husband just because he was trying to rein in her spending?

I mean, not exactly.

If anything, she'd be able to spend even less without his income.

She wasn't working.

Now, Keith was only 31 years old when he was murdered.

But I will say, he was smart, and he was prepared.

After getting married, having three kids, and being the family's sole provider, he made sure that his family would be financially protected if anything ever happened to him.

And it's a very harsh and daunting reality to face, but it's true.

None of us are guaranteed to be here tomorrow.

And Keith wanted to make sure that Darlene and the boys would be okay if something catastrophic ever happened to him.

So because of that, he took out two different life insurance policies.

And they totaled to about $750,000, which back in 2005, that was a lot of money.

It's still a hell of a lot of money today.

But imagine what that kind of payout could have bought back then.

which let's actually just see what that would equate to today with inflation.

Theory with inflation, if there was $750,000 in 2005, what would that equate to today?

Let's see.

Okay, so it looks like today that would be worth about $1.2 million, an increase of about $500,000.
