So did Sandra mean to die that day? Had she made some kind of sick promise to Terry? And when you found out about the death of Louise and Sandy, how soon before you started to suspect that this had something to do with Terry?

Immediately, because it had happened again. Two suspicious deaths, and both women drafted wills. Louise and Sandra had seemingly prepared for a worst-case scenario. And Wheezy, too, had signed up for a life insurance policy.

So clearly there's a target here for Terry. Wheezy's will gave everything to Sandra. So, in the event of both of their deaths, there would be the same beneficiary. This was beginning to look like more than coercion. This string of deaths seemed to be premeditated.

And that's not all. In the year before her suicide, Sandra's brother, Kroom, had all but lost track of his sister. He told me, and I get this, he was a thousand miles away. He had kids and a life. His sister didn't want his help, despite the multiple tragedies that had beset her. A couple of months before she died, Kroom's son received a phone call. It was his aunt, Sandra.

She called simply to tell him that she had chosen to leave everything to Terry and that if she died, this is what she wanted. There was a defiance in her tone. Like, fuck you. No one is going to tell me what to do. Kroom's wife, Meriwether, said they had no idea what Sandra was even up to.

She'd slipped so far away from them by then that Croom and his wife weren't even the first ones to know about her death. But from the moment he heard about his sister's death, Croom was also suspicious, especially when he found out that his sister and Louise had left everything in their possession to Terry Hoffman.

Croom contested the will. A trial ensued. He wished to recoup in the civil proceedings property he felt was the rightful possession of the Beatty family.

It is a disturbing and puzzling part of the story. How does one become influenced in the way some of the victims' families alleged their loved ones were? I found these tapes of Terry. Tapes of her getting prepared for this trial. And boy, are they something.
