It came after Bonnie disappeared.
But it's like not spicy at all to me.
Rick had taken out a loan against his like profit sharing plan at his company.
And without getting to the weeds on this, it would basically be like taking out money against your 401k or something.
And he was thinking about changing jobs.
But if he changed jobs before it was paid off, there would be this really big penalty.
So they cashed out the life insurance policy that, by the way, was on Rick.
And they did it together.
People knew that Bonnie was aware of it.
Some say that she had to kind of be like talked into it, but she was aware of it.
And investigators confirmed that the money did go to paying off that profit sharing thing.
So it's not like he's making money off her going missing.
She had two and they totaled like 50 grand.
But those are life insurance.
Like you get paid out when someone is dead, not if someone just goes missing.
So while he does end up getting that, he doesn't see a dime of that until he has Bonnie declared dead seven years later in 2004.
I mean, they never had a lot of money, not before Bonnie went missing, not after.
