The Dead Witness: How a Forged Will Stole an Old Woman's Farm

A dead man's name was signed to a will dated two days after he died, and a single yellow legal sheet folded and tucked beneath a ceramic rooster became the turning point in a Denton County fraud trial. Who put a deceased witness on a document that would transfer a 43-acre farm and roughly $94,000 away from the woman who cared for its owner?
In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from the lineman who discovered the uncollected meter reading to the probate paralegal whose routine check exposed the impossibility, and we follow the evidence that led investigators to question the will's authenticity. How did a padlock purchase, a debit-card transaction, and the timing of signatures become the proof that a will could not have existed?

Date: January 9, 2023
