Dark Pastures Part 5: The Disappearance of Helen Brach (Part 2)

When prosecutors dug into Helen Brach’s disappearance, they uncovered a massive horse-fraud scheme led by charming con man Richard Bailey. Wealthy widows were love-bombed, money disappeared, and insured horses began dying under suspicious circumstances.

The investigation exploded into a RICO case involving trainers, vets, fake paperwork, insurance scams — even a hired horse killer. Though Helen’s body was never found, a judge later ruled there was enough evidence to believe Bailey conspired in her murder.

He served decades in federal prison.
He still claims innocence.
Helen’s case remains unsolved.

So who really silenced the Candy Lady?
