Jeffrey Locker

Jeffrey Locker was an American self-help author and motivational speaker.In 2009, Locker hired Kenneth Minor to kill him so his family would collect $18 million in insurance benefits.Minor claimed that Locker, a married father of three from Long Island, hired him to "do a Kevorkian", help him to commit suicide. Mr. Locker was found dead in his car, in East Harlem, bound and stabbed. Longtime Allegheny County Medical Examiner Dr. Cyril Wecht testified as a defense expert on behalf of Minor.Minor was sentenced to 20 years to life for the murder of Locker. Minor is appealing his conviction.Eventually Federal Judge William Kuntz ruled that the $4 million policy issued by Principal Life Insurance should be voided because Locker had substantially misstated his annual income as $800,000 when, in truth, his gross income at the time was no more than $225,000 and he was deeply in debt.
