It is so sad that there are some people out there in the world taking advantage of others. It’s also sad that his parents were not alive to witness the outcome of the trial.

I didn’t know his parents didn’t live to see that. how sad, they probably died from broken hearts.

OMG! I knew Rebecca. She was my friend and roomate in the late 80’s early 90’s. I could’nt believe it when I heard about what she did. I went to her wedding and she played the part perfect. She and Bruce looked so happy. There is so much more drama from her life that people don’t know about. I always knew she was always interested in money but never thought she would go this far. So sad. I feel for her son, who is probably now in his late 20’s. May God have Mercy on your soul Becky.

Who the hell cares about “Becky’s” soul…it’s Bruce’s soul you should care about. Hopefully God will not have mercy on her soul. Nobody gives two hoots and a dollar about her “drama”. She’s a disgusting, perverted, and evil piece of trash who is right where she belongs.

fisher51,
I am sorry but most of your comment does not make any sense. Can you clarify? It is obvious you hate Rebecca, but what is the rest?

I know you’re outraged but GODS’ STANDARDS ARE MUCH DIFFERENT than that of humans. Make sure you’re living according to HIS STANDARDS b4 condemning ANY one to Eternal Hellfire.

Amen Amen. Then even when we are living up to His standards it still dangerous to be a self righteous judge. As long as we are in the flesh body we are bound to fall. People sin differently and we know some are more extreme than others but God requires the same repentance for all.

This is one of the most cold-blooded murders I have ever heard about. This man just wanted love and Rebecca comes along with her greedy, cold-hearted, evil self and kills this man for what? MONEY!! Its hard in this life to find a good man/woman who wants to love you and in return just wants to be loved and this piece of filth comes along and destroys him. I hope she is sitting in her cell thinking about him every minute of the day and maybe somewhere in her soul she is feeling remorse and asking for GOD’s and Bruces forgiveness!!!

After seeing this story on tv i had to find out more because there allways is.. What i’ve read since was typical. After killing her husband in the coldest of ways she then tried, & allmost succeded, to play the system and get away with it..
My need for seeking more on this story stemed for the feeling that there are many more such women out there using men the exact same way.. Only difference is they are going about it much smarter.. They work the man to death….

I grew up with Alvaro. We know him as Al. He was my neighbor. I knew the brother too. That guy was a total nut job. He would flip at a moments notice. Guy was always unemployed and looking for a quick buck. Total waste of space. I actually had a fist fight with him when I was about 14. He was prob 19 or 20. I can tell you one thing. Al was very gullible. I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole idea came from Joe. Most likely he set the wheels in motion. Rumor has it he(Joe) was killed in jail. I’ve been trying to do research but can’t seem to find anything. His parents moved away so no way of asking them. The mother was kind of old when we were kids and had had heart surgery so she might not be around anymore. The dad was a heavy drinker so probably gone as well.
