Suspects
Kissel's driver, Carlos Trujillo, and the driver's cousin, Leonard Trujillo, were arrested on March 22, 2008, and charged with the murder. Sources have speculated that the Trujillos might have been hired at Kissel's request, so that Kissel's daughters would receive his life insurance benefits. At the time of his death, Kissel was under investigation for fraud, and if he had committed suicide, his children would have received nothing.TruTV: Blood Everywhere TruTV: Suicide-by-Murder
