FBI seeks $5 million in life insurance tied to Irish Travellers, Colleyville homicide
FORT WORTH -- The FBI is seeking to seize $5 million in life insurance benefits from policies that investigators claim were fraudulently obtained for a woman killed while cleaning a house in Colleyville in 2014.
The insurance proceeds have been tied up in legal wranglings since shortly after the Sept. 22, 2014, killing of Anita Fox, 69.
Officials say a father and son — members of a nomadic, ethnic clan known as Irish Travellers — plotted to kill Fox in order to collect on a $1 million insurance policy that the father had invested in along with other family members.
The father, Gerard “Big Joe” Gorman, died of suspected natural causes before he could be arrested in the case. His son, Bernard “Little Joe” Gorman, has been charged with murder in the case and is currently free on bond awaiting trial.
