inheritance money into an off-shore bank account in the british virgin islands, just as he said he would, but then he secretly brought it back to the u.s. in small increments and used the money to refurbish the boat. harvey just sucked up all that money? all of it. steven, by his own admission a lousy money manager, trusting, vulnerable after the death of his father, was, said detectives, the perfect mark. steven was no match for this man at all. nor, apparently, was his wife, debbie. i was really very much in love with harvey. but as she now began to discover the man she loved had lied. a house in vail, colorado, which he told her he owned outright, actually belonged to someone else. the money she sent him when she went back to work? vanished. the auto insurance he told her he bought for her didn t exist. and what he said was a $125,000
he could do both. usually at the same time. and recently he had found a step sounding board of his own. a new friend named harvey moral. he was just quiet, easygoing guy. he came up and said oh my gosh i m a huge fan. i m stephen be in the hawk. they soon became fast friends with harvey and his wife divvy. what did you think of stephen? he was so funny and he had such a great love of music and he loved to cook and i thought this man is gonna be perfect to go on about with us. oh, yes. the boat. he had adopted the l.a. yacht club, a 69 foot beauty called the elon mara. harvey had a big plan for that boat. they talked about ever since the first date. he says what you want to do when you retire? and i said i want to sail all over the world. it was her dream of a lifetime and now debbie actually found the man who shared it. they married at the dawn of the
and harvey s amazing story made joe s antenna buzz a little. the more he would talk about the loss of his wife and his boat, the more intrigued i became. so on his way home that night, joe took a little detour, drove by the hotel where harvey said he was staying. and when i drove by, i didn t find his suv at that location that he said. which i didn t think suspicious at the time. but i still, for whatever reason, drove around to see a few other hotels or motels, to see if i found his vehicle. and i located his vehicle at a place called the imperial inn. why would harvey lie about something as benign as where he was staying? when joe got home that night, he went straight to his office and turned on the computer. i entered harvey morrow s name on google. and i was surprised what i had found. a simple google search and there it was. a news article describing the murder of disc jockey steven b. williams. and harvey morrow was listed as a person of extreme interest. but if h
prove it. hadn t you encountered that along the way? no. it was part of the trust packet and the trust at this point, the numbers i m getting from the court were over 33,000 pages of documentation. quite quite frankly, we missed it. they d missed evidence that seemed to show harvey wasn t stealing from steven at all. had no motive to kill him. suddenly, the whole case against harvey, fragile to begin with, seemed in danger of falling apart. and amid doubt about the new evidence, the judge declared a
