I think she killed him after reading all the facts.

Hi Beth,
Thanks for commenting. If I were a member of Seth’s family, I would have questions about why Filomena didn’t let the emergency people on the grounds after she called 911.
That isn’t physical evidence, but it IS suspicious behavior. (In my opinion.)

First let me tell you that Billy Ash did great at the depostion and told the truth on what he was told happened that night that Seth Tobias was murdered. Billy was not in Florida the night Filomena killed Seth and only knows what Filomena told him. Billy has passed a polygraph. The tox report confirms his story on what he was saying for 5 months. It’s sad that Filomena killed her husband Seth Tobias and her third husband Jay Jacknin told her to use his cell phone when talking to Billy in case her phones were taped. It’s also sad that Jay Jacknin got onthe phone and called Billy from his office, cell and than several times from his home to tell him to lie in probate. That call was taped of Jay telling Billy to lie. It’s very sad that Billy Ash had to hire a private P.I.’s to go and get statements from all past workers of Filomena’s and Jay’s that they pay there workers in cash and won’t give 1099’s and than make threats about taxes when the worker’s don’t do as ordered and Jay’s office represents that area for taxes. Filomena killed Seth. The tox reports are out and his body contained ambien. Jay broke the law and knew he was doing it since he is an attorney. Jay has made claims in the past that Filomena cheated on him, was doing lots of drugs, and threatened to kill him. Filomena killed Seth Tobias. Billy feels very sorry for her but wasn’t going to go to jail and cover up her crime as Jay Jacknin did. God Bless Filomena and I hope she doesn’t get death, since in Florida that is usually the case in this type of murder. Billy is awaiting Jay’s next move before he starts filing massive amounts of law suits against Jay and Filomena, but Billy said the paper work is ready to go. Billy does feel sorry for Filomena’s two youngest kids but a crime is a crime and both of there parents are in the middle of crimes. I hope Filomena doesn’t get death but she did kill Seth Tobias.

Cops Hand Over Seth Tobias Case To The D.A. Filomena has been seen at the pool of The Palm Beach Breakers living it up! Look at the facts in the case. It sure looks like murder to me! There is a full page story on page 22 in The Globe and a cover story coming next week. Filomena cancelled her depostion because they are expecting an arrest and don’t want any statements under oath. God Bless Bill Ash for coming forward!

It seems to me that “Billy Ash” is an opportunist and should be discredited. He seems to be playing his own interest in this entire sad situation. I feel for Mrs.Tobias, I think she is the victim of this scum bag! And, while Tobias brothers are looking to cash in as well on their inheritance, they should not be so shallow to acknowledge that Philomena was his wife and that they have nephews. After all Seth probably gave his wife a painful life from time to time with his drugging and drinking. The 4 of them should really get smart and work it between them. BUT THE REALLY SCUM IS BULLY ASH, WHO SHOULD REALLY BE BURNT AT THE STAKE! He is a low life scum bag!

Somebody needs to try “SCUM BAG BILLY ASH”! in court and throw him in jail for falsely accusing Mrs. Tobias.

BILLY SCUM BAG ASH! HAS A LEGAL RECORD THAT WE SHOULD ALL PUT INTO PRESPECTIVE, BEFORE WE BEGIN TO ALLOW THIS DIRT BAG WHEEL OUR EMOTIONS!

The Jupiter Police did not interview all the witnesses that contacted them
The Jupiter Police have tapes of calls between Filomena and myself. One clearly states that Filomena assured me that there was no Ambien residue left on any dishes, utensils or pots. She washed them by hand and in the dishwasher.
I passed a polygraph examination administered by a former member of the U.S. Secret Service. Filomena would not take a polygraph or help the police with Seth’s murder.
I said since day one that Seth’s toxicology would show that he had alcohol, cocaine that Filomena bought him and crushed Ambien CR that Filomena put in his food without his knowledge. The toxicology reports confirm this.
Filomena stopped taking her medication for mental illness seven weeks prior to Seth Tobias’s death, making her hostile and aggressive.
Filomena gave Seth a black eye 4 weeks prior to his death. This was also noted by Seth’s personal driver and personal secretary in depositions.
Seth said publicly that he was going to divorce Filomena two weeks prior to his death. This was also the in depositions of Seth’s friends, his driver, and personal secretary.
Filomena hired a voodoo princess to put a death wish on Seth, which showed her mental state and her desire for him to be dead. Her attorneys agree that she spent over $100,000 on this woman and the woman was never questioned by police.
Filomena was arrested for domestic violence against Seth Tobias and police were called many times to the house with fights between both of them.
Fights were normal and ongoing between Seth and Filomena and she forged his name to a new Porche, to acquire credit cards, to buy a $40,000 watch and to pay for her fifth breast surgery. Seth threatened to have her arrested for the forgery.
Filomena became desperate when Seth said he was going to divorce her, because she said she couldn’t live without Seth’s money.
Filomena took approximately 50 Ambien and crushed them in two different bags.
One of the bags was pulled out of her personal safe with only her fingerprints on it. If Seth over dosed wouldn’t his finger prints be on the bag?
A second empty bag with Ambien CR residue was pulled out of the garbage with only her fingerprints on it. This fits the story of her confession to me – that she put the Ambien CR in his pasta.
Filomena took pictures of Seth in a drug induced state. The pictures clearly show this and the police saw these. What normal person would take pictures instead of calling 911?
Filomena called her friends Brett and Gina Borgerson at 12:08am and said Seth is acting weird and is unconscious – how could someone be acting weird if they are unconscious? In addition, if he was unconscious, why didn’t she call 911 right then? Instead she left a message for his friends and didn’t call 911 for another 37 minutes.
Paramedics said it was impossible for Seth to be acting weird at 12:08am, because of the lividity of his body – he was dead before midnight. The timing of these phone calls was a big concern of Filomena’s when she confessed to me.
Filomena did not cooperate with police when they got there and would not let them into the house. She made them obtain a search warrant. She never talked to them or tried to help them.
Filomena sold her engagement ring that Seth bought her.
Filomena had a tattoo of an S for Seth removed and a rainbow put there instead.
People that were with Filomena and Seth that day said that Filomena bought cocaine for Seth to use. Cocaine and drug paraphernalia was found inside the house and Filomena was never questioned by the police about this. They never questioned her why she would have crushed Ambien CR in her safe with only her finger prints and no prescription. Highly illegal!
Phyllis became paranoid immediately after the death because the body was in the pool so long, she thought there could be something remaining in the water, so she ordered the pool to be drained and resurfaced. He wasn’t even buried at this time. She later told CNBC it was to brighten the pool for the memorial. There was no memorial in Florida it was in Pa. and they weren’t even moved in to the house at the time of the murder. The pool was ordered to be redone before Seth was even buried at a cost of $10,000.
Filomena claimed sole rights to Seth’s entire fortune, before he was buried and she wasn’t even listed in the will.
Directly after Filomena confessing to me, I went to Jamie Benjamin in Ft. Lauderdale and Gloria Allred in California. Jamie wanted a $15,000 retainer and Gloria wanted a $10,000 retainer. Filomena agreed to pay both attorneys from the estate money and told me to contact JoAnn Kotzen. I told both attorneys exactly what Filomena told me the prior day. The estate never paid the attorney fees and I felt I was in legal trouble for Filomena confessing to me, so I called Seth’s brothers and the police and told them the same story that Filomena told me and that I had told both attorneys. I gave a statement to the police and began recording conversations. Filomena’s attorneys are now claiming I tried to extort the $25,000 from her. This is totally not true. The money was to be paid directly to the attorneys. Plus, why would I need attorneys in Florida and California unless Phyllis confessed to me and I was now worried about the legal ramifications as someone who was party to a murder confession. This further bolsters my claim that she confessed.
A bottle of champagne, pictures and a personalized note from Filomena came while the police were in town. The note said, “The scumbag is dead.”
Filomena tried to block my deposition twice in the probate matter.
Filomena was having extramarital affairs behind Seth’s back.
Filomena and Seth used to frequent gay clubs and have sex in back rooms in a club in West Palm Beach named Cupids, where they met many gay porn stars one of which was named Tiger.
Seth was Filomena’s 4th husband. Husband number 2 and 3 both had to get restraining orders from Filomena. Both claimed they were in fear of there life. Her rage and anger got worse each time and husband 4 is dead.
On top of all of this information that points to the fact that a crime was committed, where there is motive, a history of violence, a mental illness, her own voice on tapes, witnesses that were never interviewed, the police did not do a proper investigation and Barry Krischer’s office said they don’t see anything leading to a crime. When this was said and at present, they have never even looked at the 1200 pages of evidence gathered by Seth’s brothers. If the police were doing a real investigation, they’d interview all witnesses that contacted them and look at the evidence in the civil case and go and interview those witnesses and gather the same evidence independently with their own investigation.

Let’s not forget Rosemary that Billy’s were 18 years ago and Filomena’s were 2 years ago for beatting her now murdered husband, Seth Tobias.
