At her arraignment in October 1995, Nanette pleaded not guilty to the charges of forgery and theft. Then, on December 12, she had the audacity to file a palimony lawsuit against the estate of Bill McLaughlin and its executrix, Kim McLaughlin.

Nanette alleged that she’d had an oral agreement with Bill, dating back to August 1991, that she would get half his assets if he died. She said this was based on the fact that she’d been living with him as his fiancée, and had quit her regional sales manager job at Racine Industries, Inc., because he’d asked her to spend time with him instead. Jenny had to admit that Bill had confirmed the last claim with her.

But Nanette went even further. She claimed that Bill had created a living trust in November 1991 “to shelter certain assets from creditors because of a then-pending lawsuit,” assets that included the Seashore house, which “was bought by decedent for plaintiff,” and two pieces of Las Vegas real property purchased “by plaintiff and decedent together,” among other properties. As his fiancée, she also claimed she was owed half the $9 million in forthcoming Plasmacell-C royalties, $1 million from a nonmarital support agreement, a $5,000 monthly stipend retroactive to the day of his death (presumably for serving as a trustee), half his properties and shares of stock, and more than $1 million in damages for breach of contract.

The battle grew more complicated as the life insurance company, parties to the McLaughlin estate, and the McLaughlin family engaged in all kinds of legal maneuvering, arguing that Nanette had violated the intent of Bill’s living will.

The McLaughlins filed a countersuit in the name of the Seashore Drive house’s official owner, W.F.M. Newport, against Nanette Johnston et al, in an attempt to evict her and Eric from the house.

It worked. Under the final judgment, Nanette and anyone connected to her were ordered to vacate the premises.

Ultimately, Bill’s friend Don Kalal got possession of the Infiniti, and he continued to drive it for many years in Bill’s honor.
