Jeffrey Locker (died 2009) was an American self-help author and motivational speaker.
In 2009, Locker hired Kenneth Minor to kill him so his family would collect $18 million in insurance benefits.
[1] Minor claimed that Locker, a married father of three from Long Island, hired him to "do a Kevorkian".
Longtime Allegheny County Medical Examiner Dr. Cyril Wecht testified as a defense expert on behalf of Minor.
[5] Eventually Federal Judge William Kuntz ruled that the $4 million policy issued by Principal Life Insurance should be voided because Locker had substantially misstated his annual income as $800,000 when, in truth, his gross income at the time was no more than $225,000 and he was deeply in debt.
