As people began to research Julian Harvey’s background, they found many disturbing things. He had a yacht and power boat that sunk suspiciously before Bluebelle. Shockingly enough, their downfall gave him big insurance settlements.
Harvey was also once in a car accident that killed one of his wives and her mother. Throughout his life, the unlucky widower Julian Harvey had six wives, some of which also had tempting life insurance policies.
Some believe Harvey’s upbringing was the cause for his murderous nature. His dad left him and his mother when he was still a little baby.
In 1961, Arthur’s family would not have to confront yet another harsh and harried Wisconsin winter. The winter of 1961, for Arthur’s family would be one of sunlight and warmth in the Bahamas.

As for Terry Jo, she went back to Green Bay. She lived with her dad’s sisters and her three cousins. When she was 12, she changed her name to Tere.
Now, decades later, Terry Jo is finally opening up about what happened to her at sea and had even penned a book about the case. As Terry Jo told CBS News, “I always believed I was saved for a reason. “If one person heals from a life tragedy, my journey will have been worth it.”
