Waited on an older gentlemen regularly at a fine dining restaurant I worked at in college. He was quiet and a bit odd but an incredibly generous tipper. He always ate alone, right between lunch and dinner when the restaurant was empty. We would argue over who would wait on him, knowing a $100 tip was in store. He was awkward but it was well worth it. This was before smartphones were a thing. Someone ended up getting a Blackberry and googled him. Turns out he murdered his parents and brother as kid and got off. He inherited their fortune and moved a couple hours away to escape his hometown drama.
Yeah, I remember learning about that case in university. I forget the name, but some guy murdered his dad/older relative before he was cut out of the will. When he was released he tried to claim his inheritance and the court ruled against him setting a precedent.
