Recall the bizarre murder/suicide of Justin Newman and Ari Squire: Squire apparently killed Newman in an attempt to fake his own death in what might have been an insurance scam, but later killed himself when police started putting the pieces of the story together. Newman's family announced a lawsuit today against Squire's wife, who police say was in touch with Squire after his faked death.

According to Newman's family's lawyers, "Mr. and Mrs. Squire allegedly communicated repeatedly by e-mail and cell phone to coordinate the insurance swindle and arrange funeral and memorial events for Mr. Squire's 'death' attended by over 120 people." [CBS 2]
