Police say the victim's husband, who had taken out a $1 million life insurance policy on her and has since moved from their Lancaster home, has not been eliminated as a suspect. He has been unable to collect on the insurance policy. The dead woman's father, Robert Wheat, was at Monday's news conference. He noted that Nuzzio Begaren, who claims police have ignored the leads he has provided, was not there. ``He should be here this morning to represent Elizabeth,'' Wheat told reporters. He said his son-in-law has not cooperated with Anaheim police. ``The Elizabeth that we knew . . . was happy all the time'' before marrying Begaren, Wheat said. ``She was . . . not a very happy person after she got married,'' the father said. ``We only saw her about three times after she was married, and she was the type of person who visited us every week.'' Anaheim police Lt. John Haradon said investigators are looking at the possibility that the killer was hired. Elizabeth Begaren had worked at the Department of Corrections for nine years. In the 18 months before her death, she worked in the Investigative Services Unit, which looks into inmate-related crimes, including drug dealing and gang activity. |
