Retired Green Beret’s widow sues VA for harassment, slander over life insurance payouts | Military Times

Retired Chief Warrant Officer 4 Christian McCoy died in Afghanistan last year while being a contractor and left his widow with $1.2 million in private life insurance. Then, a VA nurse began telling her stepchildren that they were entitled to a third of the payout, $400,000. However, the children were beneficiaries of a separate policy and the nurse, Sarah McNary, caused the settlement to be dragged out and fought with her actions. VA nurse Sarah McNary and VA Secretary Robert Wilkie are the defendants being charged with violation of privacy, slander and infliction of emotion distress.
