Lindsay de Felix murder

[Singlenotsingle]

It was reported a couple of weeks ago that this woman had been found dead, buried in a shallow grave near her home in the Dominican Republic. Her husband and stepson have been arrested on suspicion of her murder, although apparently the husband is always routinely arrested when this happens there. There had previously been an attempt on her life when she was shot, and which was almost successful.

She had previously written two books about her life in the DR, after leaving her very wealthy life here to work as a diving instructor. The first book was called "What about your saucepans?" which I'm currently reading, and which is unputdownable.

Lindsay and her DR husband were together for over ten years and seemingly devoted. It's the ultimate whodunnit. Anyone else following the story of this clever, talented, successful but unfortunate woman?

Ah well. It looks like I'm the only person in the world ...

I hadn't heard of her before so went and had a read just now after I saw your thread - so sad, she seems like a very talented and nice woman

I hadn't heard about this one, so thanks for posting. Websleuths has a thread with a lot more info. There does seem to be some possible evidence re: her husband being involved:

According to Nathaniel Sotero Peralta, the lawyer appointed by the court to look after Lindsay's 'interests', standard practice in these circumstances, the author owned a piece of land worth $500,000 (£375,000), incorporating a small supermarket and adjoining property, in the southern coastal resort of Juan Dolio, which she was in the process of selling.

There was a buyer, he said, with the sale due to be finalised on January 12. But Mr Peralta told us: 'Lindsay wanted to take the money from the sale out of the country. I believe there was tension over that with Danilo.'

There was something else he brought to the attention of the authorities as well. 'She [Lindsay] was worried that something might happen to her,' he said.

Friends, he claimed, had sent him texts from Lindsay in which she says that, after drinking from a bottle of rum at home recently, she had to be treated in a clinic.

Laboratory tests, the texts alleged, showed the drink had been contaminated.
