Introduced to his niece Danelle Geier, a homeless single mother who’d lost custody of her child, Bettig let her move in — a move detectives now believe was a setup. Geier and her boyfriend George Ishler allegedly manipulated Bettig’s vulnerability to gain his trust and access to his wealth. When Bettig went missing, police initially treated it as a possible suicide — until the age gap and rapid romance between Bettig and Geier triggered suspicion. Ishler confessed to the murder, claiming Geier orchestrated it and even influenced his will. Geier turned on Ishler too. Both were convicted of first-degree murder in 2018 and sentenced to life in prison. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
