The Murder of Ted Ammon (Crime Documentary)

  • 5 years ago
"Robert Theodore Ammon (August 30, 1949 – October 20, 2001) was an American financier and investment banker. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Ammon was murdered in 2001 by his wife Generosa Ammon, a companion of an electrician Daniel Pelosi. Ted and Generosa Ammon had married on February 2, 1986, and had two children, the twins Greg Ammon and Alexa Ammon, whom they adopted from the village of Medvedivtsi in the Mukachevo Region of Ukraine, in October 1992.

At the time of the murder, the couple was near finalization of their divorce. The custody agreement had been signed on October 18, 2001, and the divorce agreement/judgment was expected to consent to the following week. After Ammon's death, Generosa Ammon married Daniel Pelosi; she died of cancer on August 22, 2003.

Ammon's marriage turned hostile after Generosa found a receipt for a divorce lawyer in his desk. They were days from finalizing their divorce when on October 22, 2001, he was found bludgeoned to death in his East Hampton, NY weekend home. Because their divorce was not finalized and Ammon's will had not been changed, Generosa inherited 50% of his estate, in accordance with the will, with the balance going to the Ammon Foundation. On January 15, 2002, Generosa married Daniel Pelosi, then sold the properties she had owned jointly with Ammon.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. was appointed along with Generosa as co-executor of the estate. Ultimately, Generosa's estate inherited Ted's estate. The estate did not pass until after her death.

Pelosi was convicted of Ammon's murder in December 2004 and was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison."
