Nancy and Robert Kissel - Part 1
Added 2025-10-04 18:00:09 +0000 UTCAndrew and Robert Kissel grew up just four years apart in a family where wealth and competition went hand in hand. Their father, Bill, was a relentless businessman who demanded success from his sons, and both carried that drive into adulthood in very different ways. Rob built his career as a prominent investment banker, while Andrew often looked for shortcuts in the world of real estate. In 1989, Rob married Nancy Keeshin, a spirited and impulsive woman whose personality contrasted sharply with his serious, ambitious nature. When Rob’s career took the family to Hong Kong, they appeared to be living the dream among the city’s wealthy expatriates. But behind the polished image, cracks in the marriage were starting to show. By November 2003, those tensions reached a breaking point when Rob vanished after a violent fight with Nancy. Soon, the Kissel family name would become infamous on two continents.

Absolutely. I feel like a broken record because we talk about narcissists every episode but they are most likely to kill a husband/wife.

2025-10-05 15:02:38 +0000 UTCThis was quite the story. I had to listen to part 2 right away! The children sure don’t look happy in either of the photographs you posted. I’m sure they always knew something was t right, even if they couldn’t voice what was wrong. Kids sense things! Great job on these two episodes!
