California Man kills son for insurance money!
Fox News says: A man in prison for killing his son for insurance money has been convicted in California for killing his wife years earlier — and for the same reason.
The guilty verdict was returned Monday in the case of Karl Karlsen, 60, according to reports.
He was charged with setting a fire that killed his wife Christina Karlsen in 1991 in Murphys so that he could collect on a $200,000 life insurance policy he took out 19 days before her death, the Sonora Union-Democrat reported.
She died trapped in a bathroom with a boarded-up window, Mymotherlode.com, a news outlet, reported.
In 2013, Karl Karlsen pleaded guilty in New York to murdering his 23-year-old son for $700,000 in insurance.
Levi Karlsen died in 2008 in upstate New York. He was crushed under a truck that fell off a jack, according to reports. Prosecutors said Karl Karlsen staged the scene to look like an accident.
