Radley Horwitz on 48 Hours

Radley was the son of Lanny and Donna Horwitz.  They were a blessed family with lots of money to live the good life, but life wasn’t good for Lanny and Donna.  The two separated and divorced multiple times and upon the last reconciling, things were still tainted between them as another woman was in the scene.

So when Lanny ended up dead, the mystery was who did it?  The case is long and involved, but eventually a court of law determined that it was Lanny’s first love, Donna, to whom he was married previously and had recently reconciled with who did it. They believed she had motive…the motive of jealousy because of the other woman.  But the case was all circumstantial.

When 48 Hours aired this story a week ago, one person dropped a boat load of red flags and I can tell you unequivocally, I didn’t believe him whatsoever. That person is Lanny’s son, Radley.  While I cannot conclusively rule out Donna as being involved, Radley was hotter than a potato out of the oven.  I have little doubt he knows exactly what happened and could have easily been the killer — protected by his mother after the fact as she knows he is young and has his whole life ahead of him and a daughter to raise.

Radley is egotistical and arrogant, and quite frankly a chip off the old block.  They say people who are alike either love each other or hate each other.  With Radley and Lanny, it turned to hate.

Radley’s “stories” were over-the-top and his behaviors were unnatural at every turn.  He had me crawling up the walls that he was never looked at as a suspect.

I do not trust one word Radley said to 48 Hours or on the stand.
