Bob Bashara: husband, father, Rotary Club president and community leader.
Bob Bashara: slumlord, philanderer and BDSM enthusiast.
Did he also hire a hit on his wife?
Jane Bashara lived in Grosse Pointe Park, one of Metro Detroitand#8217;s wealthiest communities, when she was strangled to death in her own garage by local handyman Joe Gentz. When Joe turned himself in, he told the cops everythingand#151; including how he was hired for a hit by Janeand#8217;s husband. His payment: $2,000 and a used Cadillac.
Born into one of Michiganand#8217;s elite families, Bob was sweeping out the back alley of a property he owned when his wife was being killed. He made sure the bartenders at the Hard Luck Lounge saw him there at the time of her murder. Heand#8217;d often brought girlfriends by the same bar, and for the last year had been seen with one Rachel Gillettand#151;riding around town in her convertible, even showing up at BDSM events in the suburbs of Detroit. .
When Joe Gentz confessed, his 67 IQ and barfly reputation made him less than credible. Bob successfully denied any part in his wifeand#8217;s murder. But he couldnand#8217;t deny his attempt to have Joe killed in prison.
