An order granting Plaintiff's unopposed motion to interplead funds into the court's registry, for dismissal with prejudice and for permanent injunction by Judge Moore.
This shows the distribution of the $450K life insurance payout. Please note, it was done in 3 separate payments. The R’s received $300K on Shannan’s life, the girl’s $150K benefit was split between the R’s and the Watts. They each received $75K.

Frankie Rzucek Jr. starts Crowd Funder
To date, £36,640 has been pledged of £75,000 stretch target from 998 pledges.
"Why am I raising funds?
Following the murder of my sister and her children in 2018, my family and I have been attacked on social media by online trolls from all over the world. These online trolls are sending us floods of threatening, bullying and abusive messages, many of which in a sick way blame my sister for her own murder, and suggest my family and I have taken bribes to conceal parts of the murder investigation, in an attempt to free the actual culprits...."
Why I ask for your support?
With the support of my solicitors, Cohen Davis, an award-winning social media specialist firm, who have agreed to work on our case under reduced legal fees, we are planning to commence a case of harassment and defamation in the High Court, against a number of the positively identified online trolls...."
How much I am trying to raise?
I am hoping to raise £25,000 with a “stretch” target of £45,000 to fund the legal costs in bringing a case of defamation and harassment against the online trolls, and specifically the internet user.
I have already committed nearly £5,000 to this case which was part of what I raised through my GoFundMe Page. I have collected a further £5,000 which will also go towards my solicitor’s fees. However, the funds I have raised to date will not cover the entire legal expense of my case, which is why my family and I need your help..."
Why this case is important?
"...Anyone can fall victim to online trolls and abuse, and so we must stand together in order to put these kinds of ordeals to an end..."
