Colorado accused killer under probe – for renting out his swimming pool
“I’m not a bit surprised that he would go to any lengths to make money,” one neighbor says.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Robert Feldman isn’t due in court until September to stand trial for allegedly killing his wife in 2015.
Right now, the Denver man is facing another legal matter: Whether he’s been breaking local zoning rules by renting out his swimming pool.
Feldman, 57, has been pocketing as much as $45 an hour for letting people swim in his backyard, FOX 31 of Denver reported.

He was advertising his pool as a “Totally Private Oasis” on the Swimply site – until the site started receiving complaints from the family of the woman Feldman allegedly strangled to death.
Stacy Feldman had confronted her husband about an extramarital affair, FOX 31 reported. The suspect claimed his wife died after slipping and falling in the shower.

Meanwhile, some of Feldman’s neighbors said they find it “creepy” that he has been renting out his pool to people while he awaits his murder trial.
But one neighbor said it didn’t seem out of character.

Last year the state Supreme Court ruled that Feldman could pay for his defense using his wife’s life insurance money. The dead woman’s family had argued the $752,000 should go instead to the couple’s two children, who now live with an aunt, according to FOX 31.

“Not particularly, no,” the woman said.
