Detectives investigating the death of a Jerry Springer producer 's disabled sister now believe that she never wanted to commit suicide and was in fact murdered by her bankrupt sister , according to a shocking new report . Jill Blackstone claims she was carrying out her sister Wendy 's wishes for a suicide pact when Wendy , 49 , suffocated to death March 14 in the garage of their Los Angeles home earlier this month . Jill told police she meant to die as well , but got cold feet and called a friend for help at the last second . Jill Blackstone ( pictured left after her sister 's death ) says her disabled sister Wendy ( right ) died during a botched suicide pact in which both women intended to take their own lives . Now , detectives believe that Jill intended to murder her sister , who was deaf and partially blind , and that Wendy never agreed to a suicide pact , according to TMZ . The Daily Mail Online has previously reported that Jill Blackstone , a 52-year-old talk show producer who had worked on 'The Jerry Springer Show ' and for Dr Drew , was drowning in $ 1.4million of debt and owed $ 122,000 to her sister Wendy . Police who responded to the scene arrested Jill Blackstone , 52 , for murder , but later released her when the District Attorney ordered the case sent back to LAPD detectives for more investigation . Detectives determined early in the investigation that a suicide note that was supposedly written by Wendy had in fact been written by Jill , according to TMZ . According to court documents filed three years ago , Jill Blackstone owed her sister Wendy $ 122,000 . Wendy died in the garage of their $ 950,000 home in Studio City in Los Angeles . According to court documents Jill filed when she declared bankruptcy three years aog , she owed her sister $ 122,000 from a 2010 loan . She had more than $ 1.4million debts and about $ 700,000 in assets . The two sisters had recently sold their $ 950,000 home in Studio City in Los Angeles , but were still living in it while they waited for the new owners to take possession of the property and demolish it . The two sisters also ran a dog rescue agency to found homes for unwanted pets . Three of their dogs were found dead in the garage where Wendy was found dead from asphyxia .
Jill Blackstone says she and her sister Wendy planned to kill themselves in a suicide pact . Wendy died of asphyxia on March 12 , but Jill said she got cold feet at the last second and pulled out . Now police say there was no suicide pact and that Jill murdered her sister , who was deaf and partially blind , according to a new report . Jill was $ 1.4million in debt and owed her sister $ 122,000 .
