Family and executor of Glen Doherty's estate also suing insurance firm over alleged sham policy
Survivors of former Navy SEAL and Encinitas resident Glen Doherty are seeking $2 million in damages from the Central Intelligence Agency and State Department as a result of his death during an attack at the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.
In addition, Doherty’s family and the beneficiary of his estate are suing Rutherford Financial & Insurance Services — the exclusive insurance broker for CIA and State and other federal agencies. They allege that he paid thousands of dollars for what he thought was a solid life-insurance policy to fulfill a CIA requirement — a policy similar to the one that Rutherford sold to friend, fellow former SEAL, fellow CIA contractor and Imperial Beach resident Tyrone Woods.
Now, the plaintiffs said, Rutherford is refusing to pay a death benefit because Doherty didn’t have a spouse or child.

I agree. She will lie but hopefully she will then be charged with perjury.
It will suffer another sudden and miraculously convenient head injury.
I hope they play the video of her saying “What difference does it make”.
Would be nice.
Would be nice if she felt shame as well.
The beneficiary of a life insurance company has to have an insurable interest in the deceased.
This would be such entities as a business partner, a spouse, child, or other dependent.
This would probably not include parents, unless the parents were dependent on his income.
The parents insurable interest might be for funeral and burial costs if his estate was unable to pay for those costs, but that would be about it.
If that is the case, and it looked good for their lawyer to get that from the insurance company, were I them, I would order up the largest, most expensive gravestone the Rock of Ages company in Barre, Vermont could make, and buy a large burial plot.
Then I would have the entire Bengazi story grit blasted in stone on the monument, with interesting graphics carved in the stone.
I'd make sure the total bills for gravesite and gravestone totaled the amount of the insurance policy.
