Reiser Accuses Wife of Embezzlement

Hans Reiser, the California software engineer on trial for the murder of his wife, accused her of embezzling from his company.

Reiser, who has been described as having Asperger’s Syndrome, is accused of killing Nina Reiser, his wife and the mother of his two children.

Reiser testified today that one of the last things he said to his wife was an accusation that she had been stealing money from his engineering company.

Reiser said that Nina, who he met in Russia while looking for a mail-order bride, kissed her children, walked out the door, and was never seen again. Her van was found days later, with rotting groceries, and no sign of Mrs. Reiser.
