Violet 'Evelyn' Alberts' relatives say her guarded nature may have isolated her later in life, leading to the 96-year-old millionaire's suspected murder for her assets by her caregiver.
Violent 'Evelyn' Alberts, a wealthy 96-year-old woman killed in a plot to steal her lavish California home, made herself an easy target by isolating herself with a 'mistrusting' attitude and fear that those around her wanted her money, her former stepson told Fox News Digital. When she was found dead in bed at her Montecito home in May 2022, ingredients to bake cookies in celebration of her upcoming birthday were found laid out on the table.
Macareno was sentenced to six years behind bars for the fraud, according to court records, and now faces charges of solicit to commit murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Brown said she was 'referred' to Alberts for her care but did not specify by who or which agency. Alleged accomplices Harry Basmadjian, 58, Ricardo MartinDelCampo, 41, and Henry Rostomyan, 33, face charges ranging from murder to conspiracy and solicitation of murder in the plot.
Anderson said Alberts, who went by her middle name, Evelyn, met his father, John Anderson, when he was the president of the California Rare Fruit Growers Society and she was a member. The pair married in 1991. Although they divorced in 1996, they remained close friends until the elder Anderson died in 2005, paying frequent visits to each other's homes in Santa Barbara County. Alberts' first husband died in the 1990s, Brown said last Thursday.
But Alberts' hilltop property, within walking distance of Oprah Winfrey's home and Michael Jackson's compound, was her major point of pride, Anderson said. The property was dotted with rare fruit and nut trees, he said, and Alberts had a prized Koi pond with fish imported from Japan, some worth thousands of dollars.
