Perfect Crime Comes 10 Ends in Suicide and Insurance Row
Oakland, Aug 10. A multi year hoax by Charles Henry Schwartz ended when police trapped him in a hotel apartment and he killed himself. He had posed under aliases while planning the insurance scheme that involved Gilbert Barbe and a 166000 dollar policy. Officials say most of the policy is voided or lapsed. The note to his wife said the killing was not premeditated. He claimed self defense in Barbe’s death, which police dispute. He hid since July 30 under Warren. The case closes a remarkable chapter in a famed insurance fraud.
