KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri lawyer accused of killing her father and his girlfriend has been ordered to remain in jail until she repays part of her father’s estate.
Susan Elizabeth Van Note, of Lee’s Summit, faces two counts of first-degree murder in the October 2010 shooting deaths of 67-year-old William Van Note and 59-year-old Sharon Dickson. William Van Note was hospitalized after the shooting and prosecutors allege his daughter forged durable power of attorney documents to persuade doctors to take him off life support.
The Jefferson City News-Tribune reports a Missouri appeals court said Tuesday that Susan Van Note sold several pieces of her father’s property as the representative of his estate. The court said she should remain jailed until she returns at least part of the estate.
