I don't know about you, but I, along with many of my friends, often joke about wanting to find a sugar daddy to pay for all my stuff and send me on nice vacations and all of that. But obviously, most of us are joking. I know I am. I enjoy being an independent lady who doesn't rely on a single person to fund my life.

However, there are still so many women out there whose lives are completely funded by older men who like to provide a life of luxury to younger women. Sometimes there is a sexual relationship. Sometimes it's a fully transactional relationship. Sometimes there may even be a real connection between the two. If you're in any of these situations, more power to you.

But with Kelsey Turner, she fully sunk her claws in and wouldn't let go until she got everything she possibly could out of her sugar daddy. And when he threatened to cut her off, things took a devastating turn for the worst. This is the tragic case of Thomas Burchard.

71-year-old Thomas Burchard was originally from Boston, Massachusetts before he and his family moved to Virginia, where his father started to work as the dean of Virginia Tech's College of Architecture and Urban Studies. Thomas was always known to be very motivated and driven, and that was clear in his career choice.

Thomas went to medical school to become a doctor, and while in school, he realized that he wanted to become a child psychiatrist. He ended up doing some of his residencies at some of the top colleges in the country, such as Cincinnati Children's Hospital, UCLA, and the Community Hospital of Monterey Peninsula in California,

where he would ultimately end up working and where he spent 40 years of his career. Thomas never went on to have children of his own, but he was known to love children. He was passionate about his job as a child psychiatrist and he was good at it too. He was a part of the Los Angeles' Magic Castle, which is a club of pro-level magicians and illusionists.

Thomas took his skills to work, impressing the children he worked with with magic tricks and illusions. Back in the early 2000s, Thomas met a woman named Judy Earp, who was 12 years younger than him and had four children of her own. Both Thomas and Judy previously had been married, but of course they were single when they met.

The two met through mutual friends while they were on a trip to Vegas together. These two were the only people in the group who didn't drink or gamble, so the two ended up spending a lot of time hanging out by the pool together, having conversations and just enjoying each other's company. That is how the two got to know each other.

After meeting and starting a relationship, Judy moved to Salinas, California into Thomas's home in the country to live with him. There, they shared the home with three of Judy's children. They raised goats together, horses, mini pigs, donkeys, and chickens. They were living a simple life while Thomas worked as a doctor and Judy worked as a real estate agent.
