whom had been shot dead. Neumar was extradited to Albemarle, North Carolina in June 2008, a month after her arrest. She was charged with the murder of her fourth husband, Harold Gentry, by North Carolina officials after receiving a tip pointing to her involvement. The indictment alleges that Neumar "sought out a former police officer and her neighbor to kill her husband in the months before his death", with the motive allegedly being his $20,000 life insurance policy. Charged with three counts of solicitation to commit first-degree murder, Neumar was released in October 2008 on a $300,000 bail bond. Investigators had the ashes of her fifth husband John Neumar seized and analysed for traces of arsenic. The results were negative. A trial date was never set. BBC documentary The case of Betty Neumar was the subject of a BBC television documentary, Black Widow Granny?, first aired on BBC One on November 3, 2009. The film featured interviews with friends and relatives, as well as an interview with Neumar, who had otherwise avoided the media. Death On June 13, 2011, Betty Neumar died in an Alexandria, Louisiana hospital before her trial. In the "Matriarchs of Murder" episode of Investigation Discovery's anthology Deadly Women, writers claimed that Neumar's death was caused by cancer. As of December 23, 2012, none of the deaths of her five dead husbands are actively being re-investigated, as well as the death of her first child, Gary Flynn, whose 1985 death was ruled as suicide.
