In four years' time, this man suffered the loss of two wives

and his business went bankrupt.

You got to say this guy's got to be the most unlucky person in the world.

Was it bad luck or, as one forensic scientist asked,

was it too coincidental?

In 1994, 36-year-old Tim Buskowski and his three children moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to begin a new life.

Just a few months earlier in North Carolina, Tim suffered the dual loss of his business

and the accidental death of his wife Elaine.

The first thing you learned was that your mom could teach you.

I'll have a chance to find those things out.

The memories will never go away, but you kind of like had to put a like a long back seat to that and kind of like move on.

Tim started a small company to make crowns and bridges for local dentists.

And just seven months after the death of his wife, he met 32-year-old Mary Ann Fullerton.

She met him at a dance.

She came home all excited, saying she met the most wonderful man at the Catholic Singles Club that night.

And all her friends figured they hadn't seen her that excited in a while and that this might be the person.

Mary Ann soon fell in love with Tim and his kids, Randy, Sandy and Todd.

When the couple married Mary Ann included Tim's children in the ceremony.

Looking from the outside in, you wouldn't have known that she wasn't a real mother per se.

But just 18 months after the wedding, tragedy struck Tim Boscowsky yet again.

Shortly after midnight, on November 7, 1994, Tim found his wife unconscious in the family hot tub.

Mary Ann was rushed to the trauma center of Allegheny General Hospital, but it was too late. She was pronounced dead.
