30 h. ago ‘Their chemistry made one of their deaths inevitable’: how a billionaire couple’s life in paradise turned deadly

He made millions on Wall Street, moved to the Costa Rican jungle with his wife and ended up being shot in bed. A new podcast tells the wild tale of the US couple whose dream became a nightmareThe death of John Bender mystified the world. A handsome American millionaire, Bender moved to Costa Rica with his wife, Ann, two years after they married, and set about building a 2,000-hectare nature reserve, centred on a mountaintop mansion that had neither walls nor windows. But despite moving to this vision of paradise, the couple’s mental health fell into sharp decline and in January 2010, Bender died of a gunshot wound to the head.Thanks to an unscientific forensic investigation by the Costa Rican authorities, the perpetrator remains unknown.

Film-maker Myrid Carten exposes her relationship with her mother – who has both bipolar disorder and alcoholism – in this painful but powerful documentaryFor anyone who has been close to an alcoholic, or someone with mental-health issues or, as is the case here, both at once, this is a hard watch. Film-maker Myrid Carten, who holds the camera much of the time as well as directing, exposes here the open wound that is her relationship with her mother Nuala, who has both bipolar disorder and alcoholism. Nuala often goes missing on binges, and as the film opens we hear Myrid telling someone on the phone how she just spotted her mother on a Belfast street in a total state, but recognisable because of the glamorous high-heeled shoes she was wearing.You’d struggle to realise this is the same woman we see in news footage from years earlier: soignée, composed and described as a social worker who has written a guidance paper for police on how to handle victims of domestic abuse. The Nuala of ...
