Ephemeral Estate -

Was Ben Novack Jr beaten
to death with a wooden leg?

Broward Probate Judge Charles M Greene has assigned control of the $10 million estate of slain Fontainebleau Hotel scion Ben Novack Jr to his widow, Narcy, who is considered by some to be a person of interest in his untoward demise, though no such formal charges have been effectively instituted against her to date.

Reporter Julie Brown, who is currently following the case for The Miami Herald, updates and recaps the situation, which is otherwise being woefully under-reported.

Ben Novack Jr was a prominent collector of Ephemera - most notably Comic Book Memorabilia, and especially Batman. Who are the other prominent collectors? Do they all have solid alibis for the ToD in this homicide? Don't expect any answers any time soon.

Shortly before Novack Jr was found dead, his elderly mother, Bernice, was also found dead under suspicious circumstances.

Novack Jr is believed to have had a fetish for women wearing wooden legs. It is possible that such a prosthetic limb was used as a weapon to beat him to death.
