   Timothy Szabolcsi was a charming schemer who lived larger than life,   
   scamming his way into different careers and five marriages on both sides   
   of the Canadian border. But when Szabolcsi was found dead in south   
   Surrey Friday, not one of those woman was there to mourn him.   
      
   Indeed, Sheri Brown, whose divorce from Szabolcsi was finalized a month   
   and a half ago, said his ex-wives told her they were surprised it hadn’t   
   happened years ago.   
      
   “He was playing with people’s emotions and livelihoods. When you take   
   and destroy people’s lives, one day you’re bound to run into somebody   
   who will snap,” Brown said.   
      
   Szabolcsi, 52, was found dead inside a home in the 2400-block of 156th   
   Street, marking Surrey’s third homicide in five days.   
      
   Police have released scant details about the murder, except to say the   
   man was known to police, and did not respond to requests for comment   
   about Szabolcsi’s past.   
      
   But Brown, a Delta realtor, says her ex-husband had lived a life based   
   on cons and lies. He would flit across the border, using different   
   names, and purport to be everything from a race car driver to a Canadian   
   Air Force pilot and a psychiatrist.   
      
   “He was very charming,” Brown said. “He told me he played in the NHL for   
   the Winnipeg Jets, that he was an ex-Beverly Hills psychiatrist. He told   
   me he was trying to get his licence reinstated up here. It was all a lie.”   
      
   News reports suggest Szabolcsi, who had been using the name of Dr.   
   Andrew J. Szadolc in the U.S., was convicted of felony theft in the   
   United States in 2009 for impersonating a doctor at Texas Healthcare   
   Systems in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.   
      
   The Texas Medical Board, which issued a cease-and-desist order against   
   the phoney doctor, said Szadolc fabricated identification for the   
   American Medical Association and fraudulently obtained payment for his   
   services as a doctor. He spent a year in prison for defrauding a Texas   
   pain management clinic of $30,000 before he was deported to Canada.   
      
   In July 2010, court documents filed by Andrew J. Szadolc complained of   
   not getting proper medical treatment while in a Houston, Texas detention   
   centre. Szadolc said he had multiple sclerosis and an allergy to soy but   
   the doctors “failed to act on my reported symptoms.” He claimed monetary   
   damages.   
      
   The claim was dismissed by the court in September as being frivolous,   
   while the judge also noted that Szadolc had since been released from the   
   custody of Texas detention centre and his whereabouts were unknown.   
      
   His parole was slated to end next month.   
      
   In Canada, Szabolcsi started several companies including Gold Key   
   Financial Inc., which was incorporated in 2012. B.C. company search   
   records show Szabolcsi is listed as a director of the company, which was   
   renamed Platinum Pacific Equipment Financial Inc. later that same year.   
   The company is not in good standing because it failed to file an annual   
   report.   
      
   Brown, who fell in love with Szabolcsi and married him after a whirlwind   
   romance in 2012, said she learned of his past after reading a story from   
   2007 about a man, who looked like her husband, on the Internet. It was   
   at that time she also discovered his previous marriages and the fact he   
   had six children in the U.S.   
      
   “The hardest thing is these kids. They never had any contact with him,”   
   she said. “He leaves behind a trail of broken families, finances and   
   children.”   
      
   Brown estimates she spent $50,000 supporting Szabolcsi until she learned   
   of his past and threw him out of her home — just four months after they   
   were wed.   
      
   He started over, she said. “As far as I’m aware, as soon as I kicked him   
   out he started using the name T.J. and working at a car dealership,” she   
   said.   
      
   Earlier this year, the couple appeared on Dr. Phil, which aired an   
   episode titled: “Did she marry an impostor?” Szabolcsi, who appears via   
   satellite in “an attempt to clear his name,” comes under fire from Dr.   
   Phil about his credentials, with the TV host noting that Szabolcsi never   
   completed his NASCAR application, nor is there a University of Budapest,   
   which Szabolcsi said he attended.   
      
   In a preview for the show, Szabolcsi at one point says: “I’m sweating it.”   
      
   Brown said she last ran into Szabolcsi just before the Dr. Phil episode   
   aired in March, but had not seen him since.   
      
   She said she had mixed emotions when she heard about the murder.   
      
   “At one time I did care for this person and you don’t wish that anyone   
   goes this way,” Brown said. “But he lived a life that was dishonest and   
   hurt a lot of people, so I believe he probably ran into someone who   
   didn’t want their emotions or livelihood played with.”
