The murder case of hotel heir Ben Novack Jr. is one of the most shocking stories of greed, sex, and betrayal in America's wealthy elite. Found bound and beaten to death in a New York hotel in 2009—just months after his mother Bernice was also murdered—Ben’s death unraveled a dark conspiracy led by his own wife, Narcy Novack. With motives rooted in financial desperation, sexual secrets, and a prenup that left her only $65,000 in a divorce, Narcy allegedly recruited her brother Cristobal and hitman Alejandro Garcia to eliminate both mother and son. The investigation revealed disturbing layers: S&M fetishes, affairs with escorts, alleged incest accusations, and evidence captured in hotel CCTV.
In this episode, you’ll learn how detectives uncovered the inheritance plot, how confessions from the killers exposed plans to murder Narcy’s own daughter, and how the power of surveillance footage and forensic timelines brought justice years later. This case exposes how wealth can mask manipulation, how family betrayal can turn fatal, and how trauma continues to haunt survivors left behind.
