Rodrick Covlin, who has been accused of strangling his wife in a wrongful-death lawsuit but has not been criminally charged, resigned as the guardian of his children’s property, which included the life insurance policy of Shele Danishefsky Covlin.
Covlin, who moved with his children to his parents’ New Rochelle home after his wife’s death, has declined to speak with the media. His attorney in the Surrogate’s Court case, Daniel Romano, would not comment Monday on his client’s decision.
Shele Covlin, a 47-year-old wealth adviser, was found dead in the bathroom of the couple’s Upper West Side apartment on New Year’s Eve 2009. Her death was ruled accidental, the result of a fall.
But investigators later learned that she had filed for divorce and sought an order of protection weeks earlier.
Yes, this was the case where the family REGRETTED that they did not allow an autopsy to performed on their daughter, and later had to have her body exhumed r’l.
To quote Bibi Netanyahu, in his speech to AIPAC last evening, “If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and squawks like a duck, it is a duck”.
