The Murder Sheet has an exclusive report touching upon an infamous international
case.
In 1999, an American nurse named Ted Maher was accused of setting fire to a
Monte Carlo penthouse and murdering billionaire Edmond Safra and a colleague
named Vivian Torrente.
In 2023, under the new name Jon Green, the same man was charged with criminal
solicitation to commit murder.
