I couldn't find a thread on this case. You may remember this one (airdate 3/14/97) where two brothers robbed a woman named Becky Wood at her daughter's home in Akron, Ohio. The two were later arrested and given a short sentence.

Doing some digging, I found that Gary Noble has been in trouble with the law since. He was sentenced to 23 years in prison for murdering a man named Mark Shafer after a botched robbery in September 2010. Here is the article of his arrest: https://www.cleveland19.com/story/13651121/akron/

I also found a Gary Lee Noble (same name as the Ohio man) who was arrested in 1998 for his roommate's death in Silverdale, Washington. Although the locations are different, the age matches, and it's noted that this Gary Noble was arrested in 1991 for drug possession and in 1995 for receiving stolen property. This article details this: https://products.kitsapsun.com/archi...with_murd.html

Kelly Swaino, Becky Wood's daughter and mother of the children in the segment, died on March 17, 2017. This is her obituary: https://www.newcomerakron.com/Obitua...waino/Akron-OH

Finally, Matthew Swaino, the grandson in the segment, was imprisoned in 2008 for child molestation and is a registered sex offender. Here is his profile: https://www.usbondsmen.com/ohio/ohse...SWAINO/1545193

I don't think I've seen an obituary where someone is listed as being "succeeded in death" by someone else. That's different.
