Many of Sam Westing's heirs had motives to kill Mr. Westing. Grace Wexler is an ostentatious woman whose desire for wealth would be a major motivation for murder. Bertha Crow, who was married to Mr. Westing at one point, would have a motive for murder if she harbored resentment over their failed relationship. If she felt she had been callously discarded by Westing, she would feel bitter and angry. Her anger over their past could have driven her to murder, especially if she also believed she would get a bit of his riches after his demise. Another character who had a motive to kill Sam Westing would be James Hoo. James believes Mr. Westing stole an idea from him. The idea, which was to make a disposable diaper, made large sums of money for Westing. Without his grand idea, Mr. Hoo is left to struggle financially. Hoo's anger toward Mr. Westing would give him plenty of motivation to murder him.
