Woman charged in Rockland County with killing mother-in-law for inheritance


NEW CITY >> A woman from Florida lured her 80-year-old mother-in-law to the door of her home with a late-night cellphone call, then killed her in hopes of obtaining part of her multimillion-dollar estate, according to court documents made public Thursday.

The daughter-in-law, Diana Nadell of Cutler Bay, Florida, was charged earlier this week with murder and conspiracy in the stabbing of Peggy Nadell of Valley Cottage. Three other women were also charged.

Police and prosecutors have refused to discuss a motive, but the complaint, signed by a Clarkstown police detective, says Diana Nadell wanted some of her mother-in-law’s $4 million “marital inheritance.”

Prosecutors are trying to extradite the defendants from Florida, California and Washington, D.C. No lawyers are listed for them yet in Clarkstown Justice Court, where the complaints were filed. The content of the complaints was first reported in The Journal News.

The documents say Diana Nadell and Andrea Benson of Washington, D.C., went to Peggy Nadell’s home on Jan. 25 and called her at 1:17 a.m. to get her to the front door, then killed her.

Talk about motive and intent. These greedy plotting murdering cowards deserve and earned life in a cage if the state doesn't allow for execution on the spot, no mercy.

This brief account is so disturbing and tragic I've seen enough. I can't imagine a jury seeing the crime scene photos that will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
