Stacey Castor ‘Black Widow’ Accused in Anti-Freeze Murder

Earlier this year, the dramatic conclusion to a mystery that captivated an entire community played out in an upstate New York courtroom. Mother of two, Stacey Castor was charged with the murder of her husband and attempted murder of her 20-year-old daughter. The bizarre story began four years earlier, in August 2005, when Stacey Castor was at work waiting for her husband, David, to arrive. Stacey Castor, now 41, worked as an office manager at her husband’s business, Liverpool Heating and Air Conditioning. - from ABC

Just days after the apparent suicide death of her second husband, 48-year-old David Castor, in 2005, Stacey Castor buried him in a rural cemetery in upstate New York. Lying next to him in the neighboring plot was Stacey Castor’s first husband, Michael Wallace, who had died five years earlier, at age 38, of an apparent heart attack. - from ABC

Will she be tried for murder yet again? Stacey Castor was convicted of killing her first husband and attempting to kill her daughter. Cayuga County could be one step closer to an indictment for the murder of her first husband.

With less evidence and several years since Michael Wallace’s death, Cayuga County needs to work a bit harder in their effort to prosecute Stacey Castor for murder. So they need every bit of information they can get. Cayuga County Sheriff Dave Gould realizes requesting the grand jury transcript, which are rarely opened after a trial, could be a tough grab.

“It’s very unusual,” Gould admitted. “In fact, it’s extremely unusual that anybody in another county would ask for grand jury minutes in a neighboring county. The reason that the D.A. is asking for these minutes and certainly our investigators, is, the D.A. can subpoena anybody he wants for grand jury. But you may get a different version, the same people may not be available. The defense has the upper hand knowing everything that was said in grand jury. We do not have that privilege.” -
