*Section 18
On April 1, 1988, well-known socialite Jeanne Tovrea was shot 5 times in the head as she slept in her bed in her Paradise Valley home. The investigation stalled until January 1994 when an anonymous tipster watched an "Unsolved Mysteries" TV program. Several months later, a second tip led police to James Harrod's former wife, who told them Harrod had told her he was paid $100,000 to kill Jeanne because her stepson, Ed (Hap) Tovrea, wanted her dead so he could inherit from his late father's estate.
