the former church deacon, and his wife. who on earth would want them down? it does not make sense. they were loved by everyone. everyone, maybe. but their own daughter who admitted to a bitter, simmering dispute. it s been a long family feud. her stepfather won her dead so she could get her property back. evidence pointed to her boyfriend as an accomplice. you have that blood on your shoe, he was there. or, was he? no hair, no fingerprints, no dna. nothing. a once loving family now gripped by suspicion. i had a lot of people in my ear saying she did it. with the terrible truth rip them apart? this cannot be happening. welcome to dateline. a daughter, battling her demons and her mother and stepfather for control of a 1 million dollar property. after their double murder, police started to wonder just how far bambi bennett will go to get what is hers. they followed a bloody trail of evidence deep inside the families dispute, exposing ugly secr
and diane was all too clear. she was found lying next to her bed. big charlie, sprawled on the bathroom floor. each had been shot multiple times. both by then dead for hours. horry county sheriff phillip thompson s cellphone erupted with calls about the shooting and he rushed to the scene. not to investigate. charlie and diane were his best friends. they weren t just mine, they were everybody s friends. we ll remember is how good they were. how kind they were. and what good people they were. down at her house in myrtle beach, about 30 minutes from the crime scene, bambi was getting ready to go antiquing with her mom. she called her cell. one of charlie s glass company workers answered. i said, can i speak to my mama please. he said, bambi your mama and

bambi was a single mom, hooked on pills and sitting on a piece of land worth a small fortune. diane decided it was time to intervene before say, another whirlwind husband du jour got with of the property. when you put it in my name, obviously, it would be protected. and so, she signed the deed to a property over to her mom. and then bambi signed over her heart, sending cody and nathan to be raised by their grandparents. she calls it her lowest point. i did not know to do, i knew it was the right thing. she wanted to take care of them, she loved those children. it was a crushing loss, no question. but bambi agreed at the time that the boys were better off. they loved diane and charlie. very loving, did a lot of outdoor stuff, they spoiled us to death. nathan, how about you? they were the most loving individuals i ever met in my life. my grandma was a sweet woman, everybody says so.
