Deadly Fortune, New Podcast From Sony Music, Explores the Saga of Atlanta Attorney Tex McIver and the Mysterious Fortune he’s set to gain from the Killing of his Wife

Sony Music Entertainment today announced the premiere of Deadly Fortune, a new podcast that unveils the shocking story of Tex McIver, a prominent Atlanta attorney who shot his wife Diane on what was a normal drive home one night in 2016 from the couple’s ranch in Putnum County, Georgia. Hosted by reporter Dale Cardwell, Deadly Fortune dives into the complexities of this case and the possible motives that lay beneath the surface of the crime. Subscribers to The Binge can listen to all episodes today on The Binge Crimes.

Throughout the season, Cardwell ventures into the personal histories of Tex, and his wife of a decade, Diane: Diane was a wealthy, brilliant businesswoman who had been bank rolling her husband’s affluent lifestyle for years and Tex was a well-connected, prominent attorney and member in the Georgia political scene.

After what has been described as an accidental gunshot to the back, Diane died the same night leaving behind a fortune with no clear recipient. Tex was sentenced to life in prison after a jury found him guilty of murder. Yet, six years after that initial sentencing, the Georgia Supreme Court reversed the verdict, and Tex has been granted parole and will be a free man. Deadly Fortune explores the prominent questions circling this case – and suspicions that there was a behind the scenes deal that would award Tex Diane’s estate and make him a millionaire for killing his wife.   Through first time interviews with those closest to the McIvers and never before seen or heard footage from those involved in this investigation, Deadly Fortune, transports the listener inside this ambiguous world of wealth and a man who had everything and nothing to lose all at once.   “I was close to both Tex and Diane,” said host, Dale Cardwell. “Deadly Fortune dives into the fascinating world of this cowboy lawyer, and how Diane’s friends were shocked to see Tex not only find a way to get out of prison, but set himself up to get rich in the process.”

Deadly Fortune is hosted by reporter Dale Cardwell. Jason Hoch is the lead writer and executive producer. Deadly Fortune is executive produced by Jonathan Hirsch.
