Where’s the Money?
On May 16, 2011, a brand new Cadillac is discovered floating in Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Nearby, dead in the water, is the car’s owner, Charles Ewing, 55, a wealthy businessman from Mississippi with a big personality. He’s found carrying over $30,000 in cash and three guns, but a bag full of money —rumored to be a million dollars —is missing from the trunk of his car. Charles has been in town for five days, partying and spending money with two young women half his age, who claim to have no idea what happened. Law enforcement rules Charles’ death a tragic accident. But is it? Amery, Charles’ loving daughter, is determined to find out exactly how her father died.

This is incredibly interesting to me, I knew Charles personally, I lived in Tunica and my mother was his personal house keeper. I honestly can’t believe no one ever reached out to her to talk. She knew a lot about him, he talked to her a lot. He really liked my mom, he would let her pick me up from school in his corvette.
Whodunnit
Ok so my last comment was deleted.
I’ll keep posting this until questions are answered.
Who had the most to gain? His children.
Did they look into the daughters cell phone and email records? Check where her phone pinged that night? Her character has proven to be money motivated and she has shown even her own daughter isn’t safe from becoming collateral damage when she has a grudge.
No bigger motive than her sitting back watching her father blow her inheritance on prostitute and cocaine.
Not to mention her father and her had less than Christian relationship.
The girls wouldn’t kill their golden goose.
He wouldn’t have shown them his safe, but the kids knew about it.
They had some mysterious irreconcilable difference after his passing.
She paid the girls many months after the death under suspicious circumstances.
I’m working on getting the case file to see if they ever looked into her whereabouts that night.
After seeing her true nature I am convinced she orchestrated the entire thing.

Since the airing of this and since it was shared on Facebook the other day, Skyler Schuck (Her current name) had a joint Facebook with her husband Ryan Schuck just the other day and now her name is gone from the profile and her pic is gone from the profile picture. I noticed also an Instagram page that was in her name is now unavailable, conveniently. A quick Google search of her husband Ryan Jason Schuck reveals that he is on the Brady list in Georgia for criminal charges from his employment at Savannah Chatham Metropolitan Police Department . They have also moved quite a bit over the years and both of them have obviously engaged in untruthful activities, to say the least.

I think it’s sad that my cousin a scam artist skylar braund now known as angel kestner never got question about it and actually all this crime I read on her she did not even get in trouble over it

Need to question the sales lady at the Cadillac store who sold him the black CTS. The scam artist lady who goes around the country scamming people. Skyler Braund was her name. Angel Schuck is her name now. She’s also gone by Dawn Mosely and many other names. Word at the car lots is that she was there at the hotel room that night. They say she started spending money after this happened.

I know this person. Very shady. I imagine there isn’t much she wouldn’t do.
Kathy whitt
Yes Sorry to say she’s my first cousin
Kelly Woodard
I do know I was sitting at my house the night that charger rolled into town and it went straight to dawn’s across the street but I’m just the fiancée that has been trying to get answers but because of dirty political people and his daughter well she’s one of them nobody wants to listen to me.
ben franklin
@Kelly Woodard, I will listen to you. It sounds like you know about Skyler aka Angel aka Dawn. Are you saying Ewing was involved with her other than just buying a vehicle from her?
Linds
If the girls were only there for the money why was there over 30k left on him when he was found? Very bizarre.
Tami
Has anyone looked into the financials of the Medical examiner? Or perhaps the financials of the Police department? It sounds to me as though someone is on the take, and that in fact Mr. Ewing was murdered. I am inclined to agree with his daughter that there was foul play here. His emotional behavior and his gregarious nature are not a reason to be rolled by a couple of chippies that are looking for an easy mark. I’m of the opinion that they lulled him into a false sense of security. I’m also of the opinion that the duplicity of those in charge of the enforcement of the law in the area is obvious and flagrant. I hope that you find the real culprits of your father’s death.

Sounds like he overdosed on something those women gave him and instead of calling 911 they decided to get rid of him and steal the money.
MFD
well of course the girls were there for the money! why else? he was “handsome” man? duh
KTS
I really feel like the girls had something to do with it. I really think that they killed him first and then placed his body into the water. After, they drove his car into the water to make it seem like he did it. They were just with him for the money.
DCA
I think it’s a stretch to say that the girls intended to get him to drive into the pond by giving him roofies, although that does seem to have been what wound up happening. I don’t understand why the daughter didn’t answer the fiancee’s Facebook message though. I’m guessing the fiancee was involved in the burglary though. But I can’t figure out why they would have burned documents in the driveway. That part is insane.
Kelly Woodard
I tried to get w everyone’s attention I wouldn’t need to break in. I had a key and I’ve been trying to tell these idiots to talk to me as a woman instead of trying to portray me as a murderer and we may get some where. I was all Charles had and been there for the death threats and when he switched the insurance policy into my name is when dawn said she would kill him a week before this happened and I feel that paper she burned was switching the beneficiary to me from her
