Having half of her husband’s huge fortune was not enough for Lois Kay Cloud — she wanted it ALL!
But to get it, she’d have to kill him. So that’s what she did!
Money-hungry Kay had been a bank teller before she began dating Ken Cloud, a successful farmer in Bard, Ariz., who owned $2 million worth of land and had plenty of other assets. After their wedding, she lived the good life with her new husband.
Then she started an affair with Vincent Lee Accardo, a womanizer with a criminal record.
“She wanted to spend the rest of her life with him,” said prosecutor Levi Gunderson.
But Kay didn’t want to divorce Ken because she’d only get half of his money if they split – and she wanted it ALL. And for that to happen, Ken had to die, says Gunderson.
On the evening of Dec. 9, 1997, Kay drove Ken to a Burgers and Beer restaurant in Yuma, Ariz.
After they ate, they walked out to their truck, where Accardo was lurking in the shadows. Accardo killed the 55-year-old with a single shot to the neck as Kay looked on, watching her husband of 14 years die.
