Where is Barbara Kogan? Details Of George Kogan Murderer’s Details  

When it comes to figuring out the topic, the title of Investigation Discovery’s “Scorned: Love Kills: Manhattan Murder Mystery” is very self-explanatory. Millionaire George Kogan was shot three times on October 23, 1990, as he was returning with groceries to his girlfriend’s home. That episode, which occurred on a soggy October morning, set off a media frenzy because it contained all the necessary ingredients for a sensation: a billionaire husband, an estranged wife, a girlfriend, and a murder. So let’s examine what actually occurred, how the investigation played out, and discover who the criminal was.

Why Did George Kogan Pass Away?

George H. Kogan, the younger son of a successful business mogul who owned a number of department shops, was born and raised in Puerto Rico. He had a very poor self-esteem as a child, thus he did not have a really joyful childhood. He was also supposedly labeled “big and lethargic” by his mother, who lavished attention on his older, more attractive brother. In the 1960s, George eventually relocated to Manhattan, New York, and enrolled at New York University’s business school.

George supposedly never received a diploma, although he did meet Barbara Fiegel there, who would later become his wife and attend Barnard College. Soon after they were married, they moved to Puerto Rico where George began his entrepreneurial career. He closed many land deals and even bought the Ramada San Juan Hotel and Casino in 1981. During their marriage, Scott and William Kogan were both born. The Kogans relocated back to New York in 1987 when George sold their ownership stake in the San Juan Hotel, which he had been managing for more than five years.

They bought an opulent apartment in the Olympic Towers at 641 Fifth Avenue. They also turned to opening the upscale antique shop Kogan & Company on East 76th Street. When Mary Louise Hawkins, 28, was employed as the antique shop’s publicist in 1988, she first saw the couple. She claimed that George was stuck in an unhappy marriage. Mary replied, “George told me Barbara called him fat and thought he was disgusting, exactly like his mother had said.

Mary said, “When George met Mary and was captivated with her, he was on a binge guilt-eating trip, traveling down highways alone, and in a very unpleasant mental condition. After nearly 25 years of marriage, George served his wife with divorce papers in the early 1990s before relocating to Mary’s humble one-room flat at East 69th Street. Since then, he had lived with her until the fatal morning of October 23, 1990, when he was shot three times in the open by an unidentified hitman at around ten in the morning. Mary told me that George was going to the store.

According to the witnesses, the unidentified attacker was a “heavy-set white male” in his late 30s wearing a fluorescent green baseball cap and a blue jacket with gray sleeves. It was also said that after the shooting, the shooter disappeared into the crowd. He allegedly shot George with hollow point rounds fired from a.44 caliber rifle. The 49-year-doorman old’s was the last person to see him alive, and when he reportedly said, “Go get Mary-Louise, I’m dying,” he reportedly hurried to get her.

When Mary went downstairs, she discovered her partner dead on the ground in a pool of his own blood. When police arrived on the scene, they found that George had been shot in the back, with two of the bullets remaining lodged inside his body and the third, which had passed through his body, still in the sidewalk. He was sent to the New York Hospital right afterwards, where he passed away within 5 to 6 hours. According to a source, the “cop killers” bullets were made to do the most internal organ damage possible.

Who was George Kogan’s murderer?

Mary reportedly yelled, “It’s the wife!” while kneeling over George’s lifeless body, according to witnesses at the crime scene. She claimed that Mary “wouldn’t let George in the bedroom with her” and that George even admitted to her that he slept in a different room. Mary claimed that as their adult sons left their parents’ home, George felt lonelier and lonelier. He developed feelings for the young publicist and frequently surprised her with sweet gestures. In the early mornings, Mary recounted, “He started showing up at my door with my favorite coffee cake, and he’d walk me to work, and he’d talk to me about how sad he was.”

George was about to receive a final divorce settlement that day after nearly two years of talks in his divorce settlement. However, the hunt for the shooter proved fruitless, and the case went cold for 18 years. Barbara got more than $4 million in life insurance proceeds during this time and lived an opulent lifestyle. She reportedly spent $500 on her hair while her husband battled for his life in the hospital, according to rumors.

The case was reopened in April 2008 as a result of Manuel Martinez, Barbara’s attorney, being charged with and found guilty of the business tycoon’s murder. Martinez, who had prior drug issues, represented Barbara in the divorce. Before being extradited in March 2007 and given a sentence of 25 years to life in jail, he had spent nearly ten years in a Mexican prison. Barbara was questioned by the police at that point. Barbara reportedly asked the insurance provider about becoming the only beneficiary of George’s policy just a few days prior to his murder. In November 2008, she was eventually taken into custody.

Where is Barbara Kogan?

Barbara was detained in 2008 and confessed to hiring a hitman to kill her husband in exchange for paying her lawyer 40,000 (other sources claim $100,000). She admitted guilt to grand larceny and conspiring to kill her husband George in June 2010. The prosecution reached a settlement with Barbara because the prejudicial, circumstantial case was tenuous and difficult to establish. After a 30-minute hearing, she was given a sentence of at least 12 years in jail, less the two she had already served following her 2008 arrest. However, no charges have yet been brought against the alleged hitman.

Due to her “cold-hearted” personality and the opulent black suit she wore to court, the media called Barbara the “Black Widow.” Barbara was given parole on October 19, 2020, and she was released in November after serving 12 years, much to the chagrin of George’s loved ones. The parolees had paid attention to her efforts while she was incarcerated and had participated in numerous voluntary counseling sessions and treatment programs. Mary attempted to challenge the parole board’s ruling, but her appeal was ultimately denied. According to sources, Barbara is still under the control of the New York County parole office.
