...slip into the house without disturbing seven guard dogs and Shoen's sleeping children. But what was the motive? Police have not ruled out a possible link to the feud between Shoen's husband Sam, 45, and other family members who are battling for control of the Phoenix- based U-Haul International truck-rental empire (1989 sales: $1 billion...
...power struggle began four years ago when patriarch L.S. Shoen began turning the U-Haul dynasty over to his 12 children. Since then, son Sam has become embroiled in an interfamily management dispute that reached the level of fisticuffs at a 1989 meeting.
