Updated on 15 July 2008

Jeff Carstensen was alarmed when he learned his 76-year-old grandmother planned to buy him a 100,000 dollar (£50,000) life insurance policy with her as the beneficiary.

He said Betty Neumar told him: "If something happens to you, you take care of me, and if something happens to me, I take care of you. It was all too suspicious. So I got out of there any way I could, as soon as I could."

He did well. Neumar is currently in a North Carolina jail, accused of hiring a hit man to kill her fourth husband and police are re-examining the deaths of her first child and four of the five men she married.
