The two roommates and ex-stepdaughter of a 72-year-old man whose burnt body was discovered in a dry lake bed in Joshua Tree earlier this month have been charged with murder in connection to the man’s death, authorities said Tuesday.
Schiefer and Webster were renting a room in Webb’s home in the 100 block of Lighthouse Mall, said LAPD Lt. John Radtke. Worthing previously had lived there and had left property inside the house, according to court records.Radtke said that investigators suspect the trio carried out the slaying because Webb had taken steps to sell the house, a 3-story luxury home just steps from the harbor in Marina del Rey. The property is listed for sale at $2.6 million, according to public records.
Control over the 5-bedroom coastal property has been a point of debate and resulted in legal battles that have played out in court over the past seven years.It began when William Webb filed to divorce Worthing’s mother, Deborah Webb, in 2012 after roughly 15 years of marriage. Almost immediately, the couple went to war over the property, according to court records.
Last February she filed another petition for a restraining order against Webb, alleging that he screamed at her in front of her 8-year-old daughter and threatened to throw her out of the house. She alleged that he also used a gate to strike her, according to the filing. “She has some misguided idea that she can get me out of my house, and then her mother Deborah can then get control of the house, and Haena has stated that she will then inherit the house,” Webb wrote.
