So just before shooting himself in the head, police said, he gunned down his estranged wife's fiance Sunday. He then kidnapped and killed his wife, a former newspaper reporter and borough councilwoman. Dead are Golder, 42, Robin Golder, 35, and her live-in fiance, Dominick Giorgi a 39-year-old pharmacist. A secretary on her way to work found the Golders' bodies behind their divorce attorney's office. "I believe he had some kind of breakdown," said family friend Mike Glazer; "Robin had left him and moved in with Dominick.

There was a lot of bad blood. He just lost it." By all accounts, the Golders' had a stormy marriage. And while Robin Golder was moving on, Ron Golder became despondent over their impending divorce and an ensuing custody battle. His anguish cost him his job as a district representative at the Lutheran Brotherhood insurance and investment firm, Glazer said. He also lost his home and his car.

He was living with his sister, where he killed Giorgi. Glazer said Robin Golder sought court-ordered protection from her ex-husband long after she left him last year. Giorgi and Robin Golder had hoped to wed in December, once her divorce was final. Hit the Jackpot Jean Younker, first. Persian jewel Mary Zelesnozk, first.
