David C Turner did an inventory on my dads residential property after he passed away May of 2014.
My dad's house sold and closed within a couple of months after he died. The inventory did not come into my possession until Early 2015
It was dated almost nine months after my dads house sold and closed.
dozens and dozens of items he had down for 20 - 50 dollars that were selling for 200 to 1500 on E bay. After doing my own research on E-Bay I would estimate he was off by about 50,000 dollars.
I called him and he said he did it from memory almost nine months after my dads house sold and closed. He insisted he had been in the house.
Many many antiques in the home, the secretary in the living room was worth 1500 on e bay alone.
My dad had lots of Hitchcock furniture in his home. When I questioned him about those items. He said it was low end Hitchcock. There is no such thing as low end Hitchcock. It is a small New England Furniture Company. Antiques are harder to compare ... my dad had beautiful antiques .... but the Hitchcock furniture is easily comparable on E bay.
That is why I chose to bring that furniture up.
He finally said it ....I did exactly what Dr Robert Kogel your brother told me to do. and I responded ... Yes you did.
There is enough grief when you lose someone close and financial matters are not something you really want to deal with. So it is essential during grieving that honesty among those who are handling
the estate is essential.
Who got the 50,000 dollars and where did the items go?
As a beneficiary of every asset and trust and probate account
I have never seen the missing money or the items.
If you would like to follow up there will be a web site on Dr Robert Kogel and his fellow trustee sometime ...
As someone who is aware of Dr Robert Kogel told me he has a proclivity for finding people that will do these kind of things.
There are a lot of people in the United States who are poor and have no food. There are a lot of people in the United States (most of us) who have more than our fair share of money food and a comfort level that few in the world experience.
I wouldnt even consider fighting over these dollars, God has more than provided for me. No by United States standards I am far from wealthy
but I have my dads faith and that is about as wealthy as you can get.
Keep the faith, run the race, and if it happens to you, know that there
is nothing hidden from God.
