At the time of the killing, the Oldses were engaged in a bitter divorce, and Dean Olds had moved out of the home and was living in a rental apartment downtown. After the slaying, Olds, a once-successful intellectual property attorney who never was suspected of physically carrying out the murder, was nonetheless found responsible for his ex-wife’s death.
