of what she meant. Helen did have a houseman named Jack Matlick. After Helen's husband, Frank, passed away, he helped manage her home. One of the richest candy manufacturers in the world, Frank had owned E. J. Brach and Sons. Helen, an Ohio native, was working as a coat-check lady at the Palm Beach Country Club in Florida when he first met her. After being married, they split their time between renting a home in Palm Beach, Florida in the winter and living in Chicago, Illinois, during the summer. Frank and Helen apparently had a very happy relationship. Seven years before to Helen's abduction, in 1970, he passed away. Her estimated net worth after his death was $20 million. The flight crew could not recall anyone who matched Helen's description on the trip that day, despite Matlick's claim that he met her at O'Hare International Airport when she returned from Rochester to Chicago. However, a significant amount of time had passed before they were questioned. Furthermore, Matlick claimed that after he had picked Helen up at O'Hare, he took her back to her house in Glenview, Illinois. He told his wife over the phone that he would be staying in Glenview that weekend since he had work to complete. Investigators concluded that this was out of character for him because he usually lived apart from Helen in a home she owned in Schaumburg, Illinois. Matlick would later tell police that Helen had stayed in Glenview that weekend preparing for her upcoming trip to Florida. But friends who dropped by to visit her were told she was unavailable, and Helen did not call anyone. Matlick later said that despite Helen typically travelling with a lot of luggage and a meticulously thought-out itinerary, he drove her to O'Hare on Monday at 7:00 a.m. without much luggage or a flight reservation. She was also deemed a late riser who would not normally fly out so early in the morning. There is no evidence that Helen left O'Hare that day. Before she left, Matlick said Helen signed many cheques totalling $15,000, several of which were written in his favour. He changed his statement and said that he had signed the checks for Helen because she had hurt her hand once the authorities discovered that the checks had not actually been signed by Helen. Handwriting analysis experts do not believe he actually signed the checks,
