Our first black widow!
Sandra Bridewell liked to spend money. Not having any herself, she solved that particular problem by going after guys who did. Three of them, to be exact.
Her first husband, dentist David Stegall, shot himself. Supposedly, he was distraught because Sarah’s spending had bankrupted him. She was more than happy to cash the insurance check.
Her third husband, Alan Rehrig, turned up murdered. The two had separated, but Sandra had asked Alan to meet her at a storage facility they owned. Next thing we know, Alan is found in another state, slumped over the wheel of his Bronco, with gunshot wounds in his head and chest. Ka-ching on that insurance policy.
The second husband? Developer Bobby Bridewell died of cancer. Can’t implicate Sandra for that one.
Oh, and then there’s that friend. Betsy Bagwell took Sandra to the airport so she could rent a car when hers gave up the ghost. Next thing we know, Betsy’s slumped over the wheel of her Mercedes in the airport parking lot, with a GSW in her head, and an unknown gun in her hand. Another suicide?
Somehow or other, Sandra managed to escape charges for any of these incidents. After she appeared in an expose in a local (Dallas) magazine, though, she effectively went on the lam.
In San Francisco, she milked two suitors for a total of $100.000. She did something similar in Boston, Connecticut, Alabama, Georgia, and Hawaii. She even went so far as to max out her three kids’ credit card accounts.
Things finally caught up with her, however, in North Carolina. As Camille Bowers, Sandra had met up with an old lady she met at church, then proceeded to rob her blind. The woman’s son helped the police set up a sting operation, and Sandra/Camille was finally behind bars.
Here's some weird thing on the Interweb that somebody came up with for Sandra:
