Bellush divorced from her ex-husband, San Antonio millionaire Allen Blackthorne, in 1989 and had a messy custody dispute over their two daughters (She had her quadruplets in her subsequent marriage to Jamie Bellush). In 1997, Bellush moved to Florida, where she was killed six weeks later.
She was last seen alive by her husband, James Bellush, who was at work during the murder, and her daughter, who was at school.
Four days after her murder, the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office announced that Jose Luis Del Toro, a 21-year-old Texas man, was wanted for first-degree murder. Officials said he stayed at a Sarasota hotel the night before her murder, and his fingerprint was found on her clothes dryer.
