This week on LOTW, Becky and Bevy discuss a murder with the main motive being greed. It centers on Ted Ammon, who was a generous financier and respected philanthropist, known for his sharp mind and big heart. His life took a dramatic turn when he met Generosa Rand, a fiery real estate agent with artistic ambitions. Their whirlwind romance led to marriage, adopted children, and a lavish East Hampton estate. But years later, Ted was found bludgeoned to death—his body discovered in a pool of blood inside the home they once shared.
