Despite collecting on his drowned wife’s life insurance policies in 1962, Mississippi native and serial killer suspect Felix Vail, who was arrested Friday on a murder charge, didn’t pay for her funeral, burial, plot or marker, according to records and interviews by The Clarion-Ledger.
Prosecutors could seek to introduce that evidence at his trial, said former federal prosecutor Don Cochran, a professor at Belmont University College of Law. “It would all be part of his scheme to make money.”
Cochran — who was involved in prosecuting a cold case himself, the 1963 Birmingham church bombing that killed four girls — said the average spouse or family member “is going to pay for funeral arrangements. A jury should at least be allowed to consider it.”
