Where is Rose Keil’s Brother Wolfgang Keil Today? – In November 2003, tragedy struck when Fred Keller, the ex-husband of Rosemarie “Rose” Keil, murdered her only 10 days after their divorce was finalized. This event caused injuries to many, including Rose’s brother, Wolfgang Sven Keil, who also sustained injuries. If you are primarily interested in Wolfgang, I can provide a detailed profile of his background and current circumstances to address any questions you have about him and Rose.
Who is Wolfgang Keil, and What Has He done?
According to NBC’s ‘Dateline‘ episode “The Model and the Millionaire,” Wolfgang Keil, the only boy among six children, had a happy upbringing before he took the opportunity to move to Florida in the 1990s. During this time, his sister Rose married Fred, despite their 34-year age difference, after a lengthy courtship that began in 1992. Wolfgang also relocated during this period, and Fred, a millionaire, groomed him as his de facto heir and successor in his business affairs.
Since Rose filed for divorce from Fred in 1999 due to his domineering behaviour, a lengthy legal battle ensued regarding the division of Fred’s wealth, despite the existence of a prenuptial agreement. After Judge Leroy ruled in Rose’s favour on October 30, 2003, acknowledging her contribution to Fred’s fortune during their seven-year marriage, an equal distribution hearing was scheduled ten days later, and Wolfgang was invited to attend as well.
No one could have anticipated the events that unfolded during the office conference room discussion with Fred. Within minutes, Fred unexpectedly started a fire and violently acted violently. Wolfgang found himself struggling to control the weapon, and Rose was instantly wounded. Both men were taken to St. Mary’s Hospital, where Wolfgang, originally from Germany, continued his fight for justice by informing the authorities of Fred’s premeditated acts.
What Happened to Wolfgang Keil?
Wolfgang played a crucial role in providing vital evidence during the 2005 murder trial of his former brother-in-law. His testimony shed light on what had transpired. He explained to the jury that at the time of the incident, he was reading documents when suddenly there was a loud bang, and he felt shocked, realizing he had been shot in the chest. Emotionally, Wolfgang expressed his disbelief at the events and tearfully shared the menacing expression on Fred’s face as he turned around and pointed the gun at Rose—an image that will forever haunt him. Despite being shot twice himself, Wolfgang summoned enough strength to defend himself and fired the fatal shot that ended Fred’s life.
Wolfgang’s testimony played an essential role in Fred’s conviction and provided closure for the Keil family. After Fred’s death in prison in 2007, Wolfgang’s circumstances changed again. He won a civil legal battle, and a judge awarded him $5.5 million from Fred’s assets. However, despite his newfound wealth, Wolfgang chose not to change his lifestyle. He continued to reside in Palm Beach, Florida and worked as an associate real estate broker at Keller Williams Realty.
