Investigators originally had their eye on Natavia Lowery's mother after the murder of Linda Stein. Allegedly Lottie Lowery-Walsh's photograph showed up on several doctored copies of Stein's driver's license, which were found in Stein's desk, used by Lowery when she was her assistant. One source told the NY Post, "It was Natavia's mother—that's whose picture it was. It was her own mother. This, we thought, was huge. Who knows what Natavia—with or without her mother—was up to with that." Lowery was just sentenced to over 30 years in prison for bludgeoning Stein to death, as well as stealing $30,000+ from her. Her mother has not been charged with anything, even though at least $10,000 of that stolen cash ended up in one of her bank accounts and was used to pay Lowery's legal fees.
