THE

PHANTOM KILLER • Police in Germany were on the trail of a rare creature in 2007 -- a female serial killer.

Evidence from over 40 crimes over a two-year period had been linked to her through traces of DNA found at the scenes. When a young policewoman was brutally murdered in the German town of Heilbronn with the same DNA evidence, the mysterious and prolific killer was dubbed “The Phantom of Heilbronn.”

• A $400,000 reward was offered for useful information leading to her arrest. Experts who analyzed the DNA said the suspect came from an Eastern European background. The Heilbronn police racked up 16,000 fruitless hours of overtime pursuing the culprit without results. Psychics and fortune-tellers were consulted, all were dead ends.

2PM New Dog on the Block

“The neighbor directly behind me got a new dog, a beagle, about 18 months old. Our backyards are not very large. My neighbor is a man in his early 80s. He takes off for a few hours two or three times daily and leaves the dog outside in his backyard -where she barks, howls and bays the whole time.

“I figured out real quick that my neighbor is afraid to leave the dog in the house because he does not want her damaging the inside of his home.

He was, however, concerned about the noise she was making.

“My husband and I politely advised him that his dog barks the whole time he is gone. We understand the dog is in a new territory, but the barking is bad. I asked him why he is not leaving the dog in the house, and he flat-out told me he does not trust the dog to be in the home alone. He seemed overwhelmed and confided that he had wanted a lap dog, but his daughter got him this dog.

“We want to be good neighbors and told him we would call if the dog continues to bark excessively. We want to give him some time to work with his new dog.

“Last Saturday, we were sitting in the backyard talking quietly, and the dog barked for an hour and a half. We peeked across the fence and saw that she was sitting by the back door barking to be let in. I spoke in a soft tone using the dog’s name to try to quiet her, but it did not work. My neighbor’s next-door neighbor also tried speaking softly to the dog, to no avail. My husband called our neighbor and spoke to him politely to let him know what happened.

“On Sunday, our doorbell rang and I answered it. My neighbor’s daughter was at the door with the dog on a leash. I told her the dog barks continually when her ‘father’ is gone and asked why she is not kept inside when he leaves.

She did not give me a straight answer. Instead, she told me that her father has early-stage dementia and she got the dog as a companion for him. She said she is going to train the dog, but in the meantime, when the dog is barking, we should spray her with a hose.

Because Doc was a high wage earner, his benefit would be significantly more than Sam’s. I guessed Doc’s basic benefit rate (and thus Sophie’s widow’s rate) would be around $2,500.

Some readers may wonder why Doc’s ben efit rate would be so high, especially given the fact that he died many years ago. I can’t get into the nitty-gritty here, but in a nutshell, it has to do with the fact that Doc’s past already-high earnings are indexed for inflation and that his date of death is essentially treated like his retirement date.

But again, Sophie can’t get her hands on

any of Doc’s money as long as Sam is around. However, I presented her with some food for thought.

I told her that if she divorced Sam, she could turn around and immediately file for widow’s benefits on Doc’s account.

Before I go on, some of my more astute

readers who are familiar with Social Security divorce rules may point out that there is a law that says a woman must wait two years after her divorce before she can collect benefits from her exhusband. And that is true. But the husband the law is talking about is the guy she just divorced. That two-year waiting period doesn’t apply to collecting benefits from any prior husband’s account.

Well, Sophie was not at all happy with that

suggestion. There was no way she was going to divorce Sam just to get widow’s benefits from Doc’s Social Security account.

But then I added another twist. I told her

that after she divorced Sam and filed for widow’s benefits on Doc’s record, she could then turn around and remarry Sam and keep getting those widow’s benefits from her first husband.

Why can she do that? Because the law says

that a woman getting widow’s benefits from one husband can continue to get those benefits even if she remarries -- as long as that remarriage occurs after age 60.

Initially, Sophie was still not very enthu siastic about all these legal shenanigans. But she did ask me what it would mean dollarwise. In other words, what kind of Social Security benefit she could get from Doc. As I alluded to above, I told her

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margenau

Social Security and Sophie’s Choice

Today’s column offers up a marital conundrum. Should a woman divorce the man she loves in order to collect rather substantial Social Security benefits from a past husband? Would you do it? Before you answer, let’s review her story.

I got to talking to a nice lady I will call “Sophie” at a local coffee shop. She is 71 years old. She has been married to a guy we’ll call “Sam” for the past 12 years. Sam gets a rather small Social Security check. Only $1,340 per month. Sophie gets an even smaller benefit, $765. Sam is Sophie’s second husband. They have been married for 15 years. Sophie says he is the nicest man she has ever met.

Let’s call Sophie’s first husband “Doc.” He was a rather well-known and respected -- and highly paid -- surgeon in our town. They were married for just shy of 30 years when he died in a car accident. She was 55 at the time. She got the little $255 death benefit from Social Security when he died, but nothing else. (At 55, she wasn’t old enough for widow’s benefits.) Sophie said she was devastated when Doc died. But a couple years later, she met Sam and, well, one thing led to another, and they got married when she was 59.

Sophie told me the insurance money and other resources that Doc left her have been dwindling away. She said that although she and Sam are comfortable, money is starting to be an issue.

When Sophie learned that I worked for the Social PROOF SecurityADVERTISING Administration for 32 years, she said, “I’ve MON., 9/17/18 5:00 p.m..

my educated guess was about $2,500 per month.

She would keep getting her $765 retirement benefit. And then she would get $1,735 in monthly widow’s benefits from Doc’s account. But of course I told her she would have to talk to someone at her local Social Security office to find out exactly what her widow’s rate would be on Doc’s record.

Sophie said she certainly would look into that and talk to Sam before deciding what they would do. But she did say that the potential of getting an extra $1,735 or so each month in Social Security benefits was very intriguing and would help their financial situation immensely. She then thanked me for my “advice.” But I quickly pointed out to Sophie that I really wasn’t “advising” her to do anything. I was merely pointing out some quirks in Social Security law that possibly could help her.

And this is an important point I need to make to my readers: I am NOT a financial advisor. I’m just an old retired Social Security guy who knows the ins and outs of Social Security’s sometimes complicated laws and regulations. And that’s what I do with this column. I explain Social Security rules to people. But then I let them decide what to do. I will admit that sometimes when I present a reader with a couple options about -- say -- when to start their benefits, I will write that, for example, “option two sure sounds attractive to me.”

But that’s about as far as I will go when it comes to handing out financial advice.

So now, back to Sophie and her choice.

I’m kind of curious what my readers think. What would you do if you were in Sophie’s shoes? Would you just stick with the status quo? Or would you go through the legal and financial hassles of divorcing Sam, filing for widow’s benefits from Doc, and then remarrying Sam? Remember: By jumping through those hoops, you end up with an extra $1,735 per month. I’m not really sure I’d do it. But what about you?

Casey’s Corner

(from page 9)

“I told her I am not going to do that to her dog or any other dog. She then basically told me that this is the new dog on the block and we should deal with it.

“Could you please give us some advice as to how to deal with this?”

Dogs that are left outside all the time inevitably develop behavior problems that extend beyond excessive barking. As if that’s not bad enough.

This dog needs training. A housebreaking program and some solid obedience training would alleviate the man’s concerns about leaving the dog inside, where she belongs. It would also help him to better understand and fully experience the joys of dog ownership.

As it stands, this is the stuff lawsuits are made of. With dog ownership comes the responsibility of being a good neighbor. For the most part, this means confining your dog to your property, teaching him good manners and keeping the barking to a minimum. Anything less is asking for a visit from animal control or worse: finding yourself in court with someone you’re going to see every day until one of you moves.
