is shocking for a number of reasons, as you'll hear, and at the center of it all is Tony and Harold

Henthorn. They had been married for about 12 years and had a young daughter named Haley. But let's go

back to the start. Who was Tony? Before meeting Harold,

Tony Bertolay was a very well-known and well-liked ophthalmologist who lived in Jackson, Mississippi.

That's where her friends and family all lived as well, and they were a very close, tight-knit unit.

Her patients loved her as a doctor. They said that she was kind and really

took the time to get to know you and cared about her patients. Her colleagues also loved her and said

that she just had a great energy. She loved her work. And she made a good living. Her family also had

oil and gas investments. so Tony began collecting on that

every month. And those checks could be anywhere from $2,000 to $20,000. So that, along with her practice,

she was doing quite well. But Tony felt unlucky in love. She was married before, but it ended in divorce.

They just drifted apart.

So she has this successful medical practice and made great money, had a close family unit, a lot of friends, but she was missing a partner in life.
