Their luxurious life was a fiction…I Crime Podcast

They lived a dream life. They were a happy, loving family raising a little son. She was a beautiful, famous influencer who collaborated with Chloe Kardashian, and he was her handsome manager. They drove luxury cars, went on paradise vacations, bought expensive jewelry. Behind this fairytale life, there was a secret.

 A secret that was never meant to see the light of day. [Music] [Music] Rutin and Antonio had been married for many years. There is no information about where and how they met or whether they fell in love at first sight. Perhaps their love came over time, but they must have felt great affection for each other because they had four children: the eldest, Julian, born in 1996; twins Andre; and Fabian, born in 2001.

 They all lived in Perf, Australia, in a beautiful, spacious house they purchased at the beginning of the century for $307,000 in the picturesque, wealthy Bigon neighborhood located right by the river.  In the southwestern part of the city, although initially they were a harmonious, loving team, a prosperous life and a complete family are not always a guarantee of eternal happiness.

 At some point, Colin and her husband broke up. The feelings fizzled out, and their paths began to diverge. In 2010, the couple separated and divorced. Antonio moved out of the house and then completely cut off contact with them. He lost interest, sending them only a little money from time to time.  The woman was left completely alone with four children, perhaps not very young, but still requiring care.

 The twins were 14 years old at the time, and her youngest son was only 12. Her life must have been quite difficult at the time. After all, she worked alone to support her loved ones in the family business, ST GRP, which dealt with stone mining, where she served as an assistant. Fortunately, over the years, her life situation stabilized somewhat.

The children grew up and no longer required as much attention. Eventually, they moved out of the house and started living on their own. Julian left for Sydney. Mon moved to Kalula, located half an hour away, and Andre settled in a  town half an hour away.  Beaconsfield with his girlfriend, with whom he started a relationship in 2015.

 Years later, he welcomed his first son, Romeo, leaving only the adolescent Fabian in the nest at home. This meant that with each passing year, Colle had more and more time for herself. She decided to take advantage of this opportunity in 2013, at the age of 51. She moved to part-time work and began studying medicine at Murdoch University, which she had always dreamed of, but due to raising children, she had no time for it.

 Student life became her great passion. She passionately supported younger students and actively participated in all events organized by the faculty. In 2017, she received a bachelor’s degree in biomedical sciences and forensic biology, but he didn’t stop there. Immediately after, she began her master’s degree, and when she graduated in 2020, she intended to pursue  postgraduate studies.

 At that moment, however, she was about to start her first job in a new profession. From what her loved ones said, she was very excited about this. Interestingly, her determination, motivation, and passion clearly inspired her daughter again, because the girl  She decided to follow in her footsteps in 2020 and returned to her hometown to do it here, not in Kaluli.

 She completed a course in emergency medical services, so she could truly be an inspiration to many, and not only because of her relatively late education. The 58- year-old was sociable, passionate, and took great care of herself. She ate healthily and exercised regularly. She went to group classes and went for walks.

 She also ran often, as she suffered from Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that attacks the thyroid gland, and had heart problems for years. She took the recommended medications, never skipping any, because she wanted to live a long and happy life. 10 a.m., Australia. May 2, 2020. Preston Point Road. This morning, Colin drove her 19-year-old son, Fabian, to work around 10 a.m.

 and promised to pick him up around 2 p.m. However, the time passed and her mother didn’t show up. She called a second time, then a third time. After saying that something must have happened, she would walk home. Interestingly, at the same time, her mother’s house was trying to call her daughter unsuccessfully.

 Her daughter was also supposed to arrive soon. A friend of hers picked up some clothes, so should she still go to her place? Is everything okay with her? Kla is trying to contact you to pick up her bags. Finally, Monik wrote to her. Her mother didn’t reply. Meanwhile, Fabian arrived at the apartment. He opened the door with a key from the inside and saw her leaning against the wall in the shower and showing no signs of life.

 Fabian did everything he could to help her. He called for help and then, following her, although the police and paramedics arrived almost immediately, they also couldn’t help her. Everything indicated that she had fainted while taking a shower. The medics concluded that she had died of natural causes.

 Besides, there were no signs on her body indicating the involvement of third parties. The house didn’t look suspicious. The bathroom was spotlessly clean. Fabian was shocked. He couldn’t believe his eyes and ears. Just a few hours earlier, he had seen his mother. She felt fine, even very well. In general, she was the picture of health. She was only 58 years old.

 She regularly attended fitness classes, took great care of herself, ate healthily, and was in excellent physical condition. There was nothing seriously wrong with her, although she had had a heart condition for years.  She also struggled with Hashimoto’s for years, but both conditions were under control. She was under constant medical care.

She took medications daily, had regular blood counts, and didn’t complain about anything. He was in such shock that he couldn’t hold the phone, so he asked his friend to inform his relatives. He asked them to come to his mother’s house as soon as possible.

 “Something’s wrong here, there are a lot of people here, you can go home.” He later wrote personally to his sister Monika and a moment later called his brother, 2-year-old Andre, but he didn’t answer. Besides, it wasn’t just him who was playing, his girlfriend Odi Cz also tried to contact him. Andre had arranged a meeting with her cousin who had just visited them.

 She wanted him to come home as soon as possible. From 11:10, she called and sent him numerous text messages and emails asking where he was and what he was doing, and each subsequent message was filled with increasing frustration, anger, and misunderstanding. All of them went unanswered. Fabian didn’t know about this and also started to get irritated, thinking that Andre clearly couldn’t talk at the moment or had muted his phone, which he usually did. He sent him a message. “Counting on it.

”  ”  Please answer. Mom’s dead. Please come home.” Fortunately, unlike Andre, his sister reacted to the text message quickly as soon as she read the message. She ran out of the medical course and ran home. There, she tried desperately to call Andre. Because the boy seemed unaware of anything. And yet such a tragedy occurred after numerous unsuccessful attempts to contact him at 155. She sent him a series of chaotic text messages.

 ” Did you answer Fabian’s call? Do it immediately.” “Come to your mother’s house now.” Now her hard work paid off. Andre soon showed up at his mother’s house. He came with Grace and their little son. Everyone talked for a moment with paramedic Antoni Gar. The man then said that Fabian was crying very hard. Mona, calmly, the paramedics all went with him to Beaconsfield, to his home, because at least for the moment they couldn’t stay in a place that reminded them of such a huge loss.

 The only sibling missing was his eldest brother, Julian, who lived permanently in Sydney. When he found out about what had happened, he immediately  He boarded a plane and arrived in his hometown the very next day to mourn with his loved ones and, as the eldest son, take care of all the formalities.

 In the following days, an autopsy was performed, but it did not provide a clear answer to the direct cause of death. Although additional tests were carried out on the organs, the pathologist suggested natural causes, such as arrhythmia, because Colin had heart disease. However, strangulation could not be ruled out.

 He claimed that sometimes it leaves no traces on the body or in the brain. Nevertheless, the case was considered closed. This is especially true since the inspection of the scene did not seem suspicious. The commissioner found no signs of forced entry or any signs of a struggle. All the windows were locked at the scene, and there was no evidence pointing to the death.

 There was also no  farewell letter, so cremation took place shortly thereafter. This closed the possibility of re- examining the possible causes. The family received this news with pain and plunged into mourning. Over time, however, everything began to return to normal. Otarli – his work and maternal duties.

 In accordance with her will, he put the house up for sale for purchase offers. There was no need to wait long on April 13, 2021.  The buyer paid over a million dollars for him, and Julian shared the money with his siblings. Andre’s life also didn’t change fundamentally, as it had before. He lived a happy, luxurious life with his beloved girlfriend and son, going on expensive vacations and making expensive purchases.

 However, all this only lasted for three months. Later, an unexpected turn of events occurred. One of the insurance companies, where another had a life insurance policy, contacted the police. While the employees were processing this unremarkable claim, they considered the disturbing documents they received. They looked suspicious, seemed different, as if  forged, similar to the voicemail sent by the psychologist who treated the woman.

 Therefore, they immediately went to the police station. It turned out that the experienced insurance company employees were right. When the police examined the documents, they discovered that a copy of the medical report prepared by the psychologist was indeed a fake. Moreover, she was not the only one.

 The will and report of Washington State Coroner Michael Jenin, dated July 29, 2020, mentioning a ruptured aneurysm.  The abdominal aorta was also autopsied, but it did n’t reveal any cause, and the police knew it well. After analyzing the voicemail mentioned by the uniformed officials, they became even more suspicious.

 Another one, she only came to me for general consultations. There was nothing serious wrong with her. She certainly didn’t intend to do anything to herself. I hope this will help with Mr. Rebelo Andre’s claim. He told me about the family’s financial problems, so I hope everything will work out as they expected. He said in the recording a female voice.

 This voice was as strange as the message itself. It sounded not really like a human being, but rather like a robot, as if it had been generated by artificial intelligence. They immediately contacted the woman to confirm that she had recorded the voicemail. It turned out that she hadn’t. Someone was impersonating her.

 As if that wasn’t enough, after checking the purchase date of the life insurance policy, it turned out that it had been purchased a few days before her mysterious passing. This wasn’t the only revelation, as there were more policies in the woman’s name, including TR, and all TRs purchased at the same time amounted to a total of just over a million or  According to other sources, even one and a half million dollars were claimed, and TR started applying for the money days after her death.

 Interestingly, only one of the policies did not have a designated beneficiary. The other two policies were  thinking about money because what child, TR, files a claim with the insurer days after her mother’s death and provides the necessary documents for payment? Everything was very suspicious. The uniformed officers knew that the girl had not one, but four children, all of them.

[Music] They should have taken the simplest possible route and asked them what they knew. Did the mother mention her plans to buy three life insurance policies, all for the benefit of just one of them? When the children found out, they were obviously surprised. Not only did they have no idea that the mother was even considering buying such insurance.

 She was, after all, the picture of health and in good health and was not going to the other world under any circumstances, but they were certain that she would definitely not have done such a thing. She would definitely have told them about her plans. They did not leave them with nothing and certainly did not name 2-year-old Andre as the sole beneficiary.

  Moreover, he had the best financial situation of them all. He has a  beautiful house and expensive cars. He became involved with an increasingly recognizable influencer, Grac Pris, a girl who took Instagram by storm in 2019, gathering hundreds of thousands of followers. Everyone was sure that she had n’t bought those policies herself.

Someone had to do it for her behind her back. Rozow, the older of his siblings, turned out to be the final and decisive piece of the puzzle. After hearing so many new details about the case, he slowly began to connect the dots and connect them with the very peculiar behavior of his brother Andre.

 A call from the coroner. His younger brother, Fabian, one day went with Andre to the hairdresser and overheard that a crown doctor called him. It  seemed very suspicious, so he immediately told him about it. Julian decided to ask Andre directly about the reason for the call. The man stated that it was nothing serious, he was just checking what they could do to help them with the insurance issue.

 His mother had purchased life insurance with ANZ TOS, but it was unusual. Neither of them knew about the policy, and Andre had never been close to her. He didn’t care about matters or life problems.  He was so confused that he couldn’t understand why he was interested in this particular aspect of her life. Why did she tell him about it? Maybe because he decided to advise her, maybe he persuaded her to make this purchase, maybe he bought it himself.

 It would make sense. The missing driver’s license. Another reason for concern was the mysterious disappearance of the driver’s license. Although Andre never admitted to taking it, they eventually found it in his apartment. It’s unclear how he explained it. However, on top of that,  two strange notifications from the post office soon arrived at their mother’s apartment about her letters being redirected to a different address.

 Julian, who was handling all the formalities and house matters at the time, did n’t apply for anything like that, so he thought it must have been some kind of fraud. [Music] He did n’t rule out the possibility that one of them had decided to redirect their mother’s mail to themselves for some reason. As a result, he created a Facebook group and asked if any of them had applied for mail redirection.

 Then he received a message from Andre. Yesterday I thought it was a sensible solution in case we had to sell the house. [Music] The translator pointed this out, but when s weeks passed, Later, when Monik returned to Sydney, she texted him that she was coming home. He started getting worried and told his sister to contact Andre and ask why he hadn’t withdrawn his request.

 A while later, another strange situation arose.  Her mother’s psychologist, Otman Ton, immediately called Monik, claiming that Andre was trying to use her name to get money from her mother’s insurance. So she wrote to her brother to explain it, and he replied that the psychologist must have made a mistake. This explanation didn’t reassure her, so she wrote to Julian [Music] that the psychologist had misled her patients.

 A while later, Andre texted me saying that Narina had apparently confused the women and that the problem was with a different person. He knew who Narina was. I don’t know how he knew her name since he never spoke to her. Monique later said that   her mother’s sister, Perl, was also suspicious of Andre. The woman lived nearby on the same street as Colin, so she often drove past her house on her way to work.

 This was also the case on May 25, 2020, the day of the tragedy. After finishing her shift around 1:30 p.m.  She passed her sister’s house as usual, looked in its direction to check if everything was alright, and then a  car she had never seen there before caught her eye. She didn’t think much about it, but  her sister could have been visited by someone, not necessarily someone she knew, but when she saw the same car again, this time near the cemetery on the day of her funeral, she decided to check who it belonged to. She parked nearby and

waited for Wła when she saw her nephew Andre and his family getting in. The boy didn’t mention visiting his mother at her house that morning. This confession made the investigators’ eyes increasingly focus on the 2-year-old. Why would he conceal such an important fact? Why didn’t he say he saw his mother? If he had nothing on his conscience? He shouldn’t have told Andre immediately. There were more questions for Andre.

 Why did he try to forward his mother’s mail to himself? Why was he the only one who knew about the police? Why did he falsify the documents because it seemed obvious to everyone that he had to do it to get the answers. The services began an investigation on September 9, 2020, and  They started to look into his life at first glance.

 Andre didn’t arouse any suspicions. He was 24 years old and lived a dream life, although he himself wasn’t. He was at the peak of his career, working at KES as a supermarket supplier and part-time. He was trading cryptocurrencies, where he had earned about $20 so far. His partner, Pris Opo, was in the best shape of her life in 2019 when she was pregnant with their son.

Romeo took part in an advertising campaign for a clothing brand owned by Chloe Kardashian. This decision turned out to be a milestone in her career after she became the first pregnant brand ambassador. She was promoted, gaining increasing popularity on her Instagram account, gathering hundreds of thousands of followers, and the number of her fans was growing every month.

 At one point, Andre even became her manager. I met her on the set. She told The West newspaper about her ex, quoting her ex, about her meeting with Chloe. She was so nice. She even gave me a few tips about my upcoming delivery. Romeo, their son, who became famous. Even before he was actually born, he was born shortly after.

  Adored by his parents, who often showed his image online because it became an integral part of their Instagram lives, the couple received numerous collaborations. Gracy advertised clothing stores and cosmetics, so she couldn’t complain about a lack of money, and it was clearly visible. The lovers led a very luxurious and lavish life.

 They drove an expensive car. On her profile, the girl showcased designer handbags and shoes. She wore accessories from Bottega Venetta, Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Chanel, Gucci, and Dior. She wore diamonds. And under her Christmas tree in 2021, as we can see now, there were  exclusive gifts on the screen. They often went on foreign holidays to the Maldives with great pomp.

 They organized family events, including their son’s birthday, after the end of their relationship, not much changed in their lives, or at least that’s how it looked from the outside. Gracy never stopped posting her photos online. The day after the tragedy, on May 26, she posted on Instagram.  A photo frame in  Calvin’s underwear advertising a company selling self-tanners, and two days later, she posed with a solid bag.

 On May 29, she posted photos with her son, captioning them “My little Romeo. Is n’t he handsome? I’m the happiest mom in the world.” On June 29, she celebrated her 24th birthday. In one of the posts from that period, she teasingly asked her followers what they would think if they expanded their family. Would such people have any interest in getting rid of their own mothers for such a primitive reason as profit? But more and more clues indicated that this was the case.

 On  September 16, 2020, she searched their home. She confiscated all phones, computers, modems, routers, hard drives, surveillance footage, and documents, including bank statements, and checked their contents. She was quite shocked, and not only because shortly after the tragedy, Andre had entered his computer with keywords such as “pulse” or “investigation,” and cleared his entire search history between December 2019 and July.

  2020 because it turned out that under the shell intricately woven from beautiful Instagram photos of expensive cars, handbags and jewelry, there was something completely different. And what Andre and the players had been proudly showing the world for several years was fiction, even though the girl was a very well-known media personality, earned money from posts, videos and often very beneficial cooperation.

 During the investigation, it came to light that the couple had recently been struggling with serious financial difficulties to create the appearance of a luxurious life, using credit cards without restrictions and taking out loans. Their debt in 2020, according to some sources, reached as much as $121,000 on one of his cards in May 2020.

 Andre had a debt of as much as $40,000, which was pursued by two debt  collection companies. He also failed to pay the apartment they were renting and for this reason he even asked the property manager to take pity on him and reduce the amount of  $880 at the time. Were the lovers living beyond their means, so they showed on the internet a life they really could not afford?  They could afford the life they wanted, the people around them thought they were living in luxury, affording the most expensive brands, the best cars, and vacations. It was this desire to show off,

the desire to arouse public envy, building contentment on prosperity is a popular path to the top these days. Ultimately, it drove their entire family into debt and, as a result, may have led to the tragedy. Andre apparently secretly bought life insurance policies for her, then took them away from her. He hoped that insurance companies wouldn’t discover the fact that he had falsified all the documents and that his siblings would never know that he had received the money.

 However, the lie had short legs. Investigators, searching Andrea’s phones, discovered another important clue: a mysterious break in their contact on the very day of the tragedy, May 25, 2020, between 1110 and 1135. Around the time she tried unsuccessfully to contact her boyfriend on the dial, she sent him text messages and emails asking where he was and why he was n’t answering her calls.

 She was furious, and he repeatedly communicated this to him. Andre Where is your phone, where are you? Oh my goodness, what’s wrong with you? Answer me, I ‘m furious with you, so furious. Despite her agitation, Andre didn’t answer or reply to a total of 12 calls, didn’t reply to text messages, he only responded to 13 of them at 11:33.

 Interestingly, at 12:1, when the mother was probably already dead, he wrote her a text message asking if she could take care of his son tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. This was the result of the insistence of Gracia, who had been asking him for some time to take her son to his grandmother. According to investigators, Andre didn’t answer the phone because he simply couldn’t be at his mother’s house and stage it.

  Confirmation of this theory came with checking the surrounding surveillance. It turned out that the boy’s aunt was right and Andre was indeed at his mother’s house that morning. The cameras recorded a car that looked remarkably like his white Range Rover. As if that wasn’t enough, his phone connected to the local station between 10:33 and 11:44.

 Importantly, Andre didn’t tell anyone about the police visit, which  She didn’t come to the scene of the incident, nor did she, or her family. In October 2022, when the police had enough evidence that Andre had taken his mother’s life, the man was arrested and charged. As you can imagine, he didn’t confess to anything, but Gracy was probably the only person who believed him.

 Moreover, she defended him with great dedication, giving him an alibi. She maintained that on the day of the tragedy, he was behaving completely normally. He spent the entire morning at home with her and didn’t hide the fact that he went to his mother’s for a moment to leave old clothes for Fabian. This was untrue, as revealed by wiretapping recordings in their home.

 After Andre’s arrest, she disappeared from Instagram and Tiktok for two months. She didn’t respond to offensive comments and messages trying to provoke her to respond to all this. At one point, she even accused the media of spreading false information about her boyfriend, but at some point she also had to confront reality.

 On December 8, 2022, she finally spoke out by issuing a short statement on her profile. I would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding of my absence for the past two weeks.  I’m grateful to everyone who tried to contact me. They sent me messages of love and support because it was an extremely difficult time for me.

 Now I want to focus on my child. Thank you all for understanding and respecting my and my son Romeo’s need for privacy. At the beginning of the year, even her image changed significantly. Platinum hair was replaced by a more natural brown. The fundamental question we can ask ourselves at this point is whether Gracy really knew nothing about anything.

She had no idea about the debts, the forgeries, and her boyfriend’s plan. The girl maintained her marriage all the time. After all, she earned money. She collaborated with numerous brands. She earned income from YouTube and Instagram. She thought their fairytale life was the result of her work. She earned enough to cover expensive expenses: expensive clothes, accessories, cars, holidays, investments.

 She thought this because she had no insight into the family budget. She trusted Andrea, so without hesitation and without any doubt, she made him her manager and let him handle the accounting on his own, and he never mentioned it to her. Not even a word about them having any problems. Yes, the income did fluctuate. She sometimes checked her account, but she didn’t worry about it because she knew that Sooner or later, one of the platforms would come.

 She didn’t think that all this could have a hidden meaning. Especially since Andre was involved in cryptocurrency trading. Although he appeared on the market relatively recently and was still in its infancy, he was actively developing his social media profile called Asset Mastery and Investing, where he presented himself as an outstanding investment specialist.

It is possible that when his personal debts reached too high amounts, he reached for Graca’s income. During the investigation, it turned out that she had a $700 car loan and was in arrears with paying taxes to the tax office, which amounted to $40. The girl didn’t suspect anything. Apparently, she quickly used his mother’s insurance policy.

 That’s when a  diabolical plan was born in his head. Graca’s explanations were so credible that no charges were brought against her. Andre, however, appeared in court for the first time on November 22, 2022, but did not admit to anything at that time. His trial began in October 2024.

 Andre was 28 years old at the time, even though he was entitled to  The right to silence. He agreed to testify on the first day of the trial. He pleaded guilty, but only to fraud. Generally speaking, I lied to the insurance company and forged several documents, including my mother’s will and the coroner’s report, so the insurer could have lied to me. I lied to my family, my siblings, my partner, the insurance company employees, the police, but I did nothing to my mother.

 I don’t know how the tragedy happened. I have no idea who did this to her. He admitted that he might indeed have been the last person to see her. He visited my mother in her home on the day of the tragedy a few hours before she was found, but he didn’t come to her to do anything to her. He came to her for coffee to talk to her about her life insurance policy.

 The one she bought after divorcing her father had just expired, so she wanted to buy a new one. She wanted to be sure that if anything happened to her, the insurance money would help our family cover the mortgage on the house she lived in and there would be something left for us. She wanted to take care of us.

 The prosecutors spent about 45 minutes together, then said goodbye and left. He said he loved her when he left. He didn’t know what happened next. The prosecutor didn’t believe him. He was convinced that such a conversation never took place, that the son had been  He immediately started executing the plan because the insurance policies had long been falsely signed and were lying at his house, waiting to be paid.

He asked why he hid the visit from the authorities, and Andre confessed that he simply didn’t have the head for it at the time. He was in shock and his mind wasn’t working properly. The police only asked him a few questions, and the visit wasn’t among them. If the police had asked him directly if he had been at her house that morning, he would certainly have told them everything.

 “So, did  you tell your family members that you might have been the last person to see your mother alive?” the prosecutor asked. “I didn’t hide it from my siblings; it was important information, but I can’t remember exactly when I told them about it. I don’t remember it being a topic of conversation at all. I don’t remember the conversations they had that day. I remember them. Did I say anything?” he said.

 “It wasn’t a coincidence that Mrs. Pris asked you to take your grandson to Grandma’s and you refused because you wanted to go there alone.” The prosecutor continued. “I’ll tell you why you didn’t tell anyone about this visit because you were there, you didn’t answer, a total of 12 calls, you didn’t reply to the text messages, you couldn’t have been there.

”  He posed everything with his mother to make it look like she fainted in the shower. He didn’t deny anything to her. I only admit to fraud and trying to use her insurance policy. I went to the insurer quickly because I had reason to. I was afraid that my mother might have done it to herself recently. She had been very stressed out several times, and it would even be better if I left.

 I was afraid that the autopsy would discover it sooner or later, so I had to act quickly. If my suspicions turned out to be true and the companies found out, we could forget about any compensation. The insurance policy would be invalidated. So I had no choice but to ask the prosecutor, who in 2020 reached as much as $120.

 He replied that he wasn’t concerned at all. He even invested in cryptocurrencies because he thought it was a wise move. He believed that the debt had no impact on the family’s situation because he was convinced that very soon they would n’t even know when everything would be over, thanks to the constantly growing popularity of his life partner.

 Andr stated that since the number of her followers on Instagram reached several hundred thousand for one collaboration, after deductions. They received at least $40,000 in agency costs, and for a typical single post, they earned an average of $171,000 per year. They shot most of the filming at home, so they didn’t have to incur any costs, and the company, as he expected, would soon turn out to be a multi-million enterprise.

 Besides, their exclusive lifestyle was largely paid for by their partners in exchange for participating in events. Marek received free gifts and various products. They also had to pay for accommodation. The economic stagnation of 2020 didn’t have a negative impact on their income. He started going out more often to get his phones.

 The financial analyst’s report, however, wasn’t that optimistic for the outside world. They were rich and beautiful, but the truth was different. The prosecutor summed it up in one sentence. Although the defense tried to convince the court that many people would have bigger financial problems than Andre had, there was too much evidence pointing to his guilt.

 It was a complicated investigation that consumed many resources and took us years, said Detective Clinton, the brother in charge of the case. Fortunately, it brought the expected results. The jury  found Andre guilty, according to some, when hearing the verdict, the man didn’t show any signs of guilt. No emotions, according to others, on the contrary, she furtively wipes away tears.

 How many years will she spend behind bars? It is not yet known. The verdict, including numerous frauds related to document falsification, will be announced on April 4, 2025. Nevertheless, he faces up to 10 years in prison. His long-time partner, Grace, did not appear in the courtroom on the day the verdict was announced to support him.

 In the meantime, she stopped trusting him, stopped giving him a false alibi for the day of the tragedy, and deleted many of their photos. Although some of them can still be seen on her profile. She completely distanced herself from the case and today leads a completely new life with her new partner, Daniel, with whom she became involved a year after the arrest.

 Today, she has a million followers on Instagram. On December 23, 2024, she decided, perhaps for the last time, to speak out about her ex-boyfriend. Dressed in Christmas pajamas, the same as her son Romeo, she published a photo against a golden- red Christmas tree with the telling caption: “I create magic for my child, I find a moment of joy wherever I can.

Difficult times shape tough people, and I will always choose love and I will be.” look to the future with an open heart because I know that in the darkness there is always light with Andre, there are not many people left today who can only count on the support of their father, the man said bitterly in a conversation with reporters that the verdict saddened and disappointed him very much and that he would stand by his son until the end of his days, just like with all his children.

Klein’s obituary included a short but very telling sentence: Klein was a devoted and loving mother of four children: Julian, Monik, Fabian and
