According to court documents and family members, soon after Singleton's untimely and sudden death, Ward swiftly swooped in declaring herself as executor of Singleton's estate and began secretly changing his business "New Deal Productions" and his "Dakar Foundation" into her name.

A successful real estate broker, 72-year-old, Danny Singleton, John's father, and the estranged former fiancé of Ward, has gone on record to say that he is concerned that Ward is stealing from his grandchildren. Singleton stated he was deployed to Vietnam by the U.S. Army three days before his son John was born January 6, 1968, having placed an engagement ring on Shelia Ward's finger. The year of absence during his service to his country in Vietnam led to Singleton's ultimate heartbreak. He stated Ward "was unfaithful and sent me a "Dear John letter" while I was at war for our country." "I sent her my entire paycheck every month, but she was too busy running around and was misled by her jealous girlfriends."


...In upcoming Singleton court proceedings, will the David of the case come forth the victor using Goliath's own sword to cut off the giant's head metaphorically speaking? Most consider the biblical story with the emphasis on the "five smooth stones" and "the slingshot," but few consider the factual account that David assured his victory by taking Goliath's own sword and decapitating him.
