IN HAPPIER TIMES |
NARCY-CIST |
Narcy Novack, 53, allegedly ordered two attackers to cut her husband Ben's eyes with a knife after they'd bound him with duct tape and beaten him with dumbbells.
Prosecutor's claim she let the men into their New York hotel suite, so she could get her hands on his fortune, believed to be worth around $10
million. But now she has also been charged with the death of 87-year-old Bernice Novak whose death was originally ruled an accident, despite her broken jaw and blood smeared on the walls of her Fort Lauderdale house.
Now however, cops believe that together with her brother Cristobal Veliz, she directed two other people, identified only as "co-conspirators," to assault the elderly woman at her home.
Once again money was the motive, as she knew her death would add to her share once Ben was out of the way.
The murder charges are incorporated within a new racketeering charge, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Narcy Novack also stole $95,000 from her husband's company and tried to launder the cash, according to a new indictment which also accuses her and Veliz of trying to pay a witness for false testimony.
The names of two men who were originally charged have disappeared from the case.
At least one of them has pleaded guilty to driving the getaway car in the Ben Novack killing and may be cooperating with prosecutors.
Narcy Novack's daughter, May Abad, stands to inherit the Ben Novack estate, which includes one of the world's largest collections of Batman memorabilia, if her mother is convicted.
