Ted Maher, convicted in billionaire's arson death in Monaco, reinvents himself & orders hit on estranged wife

Key Points:

• Jon Green, also known as Ted Maher, has a history of deception including a 1999 Monaco arson case where he was convicted for a fire that killed billionaire Edmond Safra and a nurse, though he maintains his innocence and claims he was framed.
• Green married Dr. Kim Lark in 2020 after meeting her in New Mexico, but their marriage deteriorated amid his criminal behavior, including forging checks, stealing valuable search and rescue dogs, and ultimately plotting to murder Kim.
• In 2025, Green was convicted of solicitation to commit first-degree murder based largely on testimony from his jailmate Greg Markham, who detailed Green's plan to poison Kim and control her dogs to coerce her.
• Despite Green's denials and claims of innocence, evidence such as a detailed diagram of Kim's house and recorded jail calls supported the prosecution's case; Green was sentenced to nine years in prison with release expected in 2029.
• Dr. Kim Lark remains cautious and guarded for her safety, relying on her dogs for protection, while Green continues to assert his innocence and appeal his conviction, leaving unresolved questions about his past and true culpability.
