When Joe turned himself in, he told the cops everything-- including how he was hired for a hit by Jane's husband. His payment: $2,000 and a used Cadillac. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Born into one of Michigan's elite families, Bob was sweeping out the back alley of a property he owned when his wife was being killed. He made sure the bartenders at the Hard Luck Lounge saw him there at the time of her murder. He'd often brought girlfriends by the same bar, and for the last year had been seen with one Rachel Gillett--riding around town in her convertible, even showing up at BDSM events in the suburbs of Detroit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When Joe Gentz confessed, his 67 IQ and barfly reputation made him less than credible. Bob successfully denied any part in his wife's murder. But he couldn't deny his attempt to have Joe killed in prison. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Includes photos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780425272428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 4.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Steve Miller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44507414692021,"sku":"9780425272428","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_590d5a91-e3d4-467d-9331-1a8cce1b50c6.jpg?v=1722312274","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/murder-in-grosse-pointe-park-privilege-adultery-and-the-killing-of-jane-bashara-9780425272428","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
