TROY ROBERTS – CBS, 48 HOURS

For two decades the most glamorous spot in Miami Beach was the Fontainebleau Hotel.  From Sinatra to Kennedy to Monroe – celebrities and headliners held the spotlight here.  In their footsteps, came legions of well-heeled regular folk, descending on the opulent resort, eager to rub shoulders with the stars and feel pampered and special in sun-splashed Miami.  The creator of this American palace was a tough dreamer, a disputatious New Yorker named Benny Novak.  At his side, a beautiful and poised former model Bernice.  The couple had a son, Benji, who grew up into what many described as a spoiled brat.  In the late 70s, when the hotel was sold, Benji was the heir to a small fortune.  At 22, he started building his own fortune by creating a convention staging company.  He also became a fanatic of Batman memorabilia, a playboy known for his deviant sexual predilections, and in 1991, he began seeing Narcy Veliz, a young single mother and former exotic dancer from Ecuador.  After the two married, Narcy helped Benji run his multi-million dollar business.

In July 2009, Ben and Narcy traveled from their Ft. Lauderdale estate to Rye Brook, New York, just north of Manhattan, for a convention.  On July 12, according to Narcy’s statements to police, Ben worked throughout the night, staying up until 6:30 a.m., before finally going to bed.  Shortly afterward, Narcy told police that she left their room to get breakfast. Hotel security videos show her leaving the hotel suite.  She returned 45 minutes later to a horrifying scene; the display of Ben’s beaten and nearly unrecognizable body was something New York Detectives Terry Wilson and Allison Carpentier would also describe as one of the most gruesome they had ever observed.  The 53-year-old had been tortured to death, both of his eyes gouged out.  Ultimately, investigators would focus their attention on Narcy, but with the extravagant lifestyle Ben had provided her from the start of their relationship, what would be her motivation to kill him, or have him killed?  Detectives would come to learn that Benji had taken up with another woman.  Rebecca bliss, formerly known as “Mona Love”, was all over the internet on adult entertainment sites.  What began as a sexual tryst, says Rebecca, grew into a serious ongoing relationship of almost two years.  Had Narcy learned of the affair?  Troy Roberts talks to authorities from New York to South Florida about the twisted trail of evidence they would uncover.  Rebecca Bliss also speaks out for the first time about Ben and Narcy’s contentious marriage.  Maxine Fiel, Bernice Novack’s sister and Ben’s elderly aunt, provides insight into life in the Novack family, as well as an account of her sister’s sudden death just months prior to her nephew’s – this would also become a key and shocking element of the investigation into Ben’s murder.  Troy Roberts has the story. 48 HOURS "Crazy Love" airs on Saturday, January 26, 2013 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT)
