He had a history of violence, however, and was convicted in 1978 of kidnaping a mentally handicapped woman. In 1985 he married a mail-order bride from the Philippines, but she left him after only three months, accusing him of spousal rape. He also had a knack for making good investments: police found documents in his house showing that he owned $500,000 worth of stock.
