Will police implicate Betty Neumar in any more of her husbands death via charges by end of July?
Settled as No
No more charges have been laid regarding the deaths of Betty's husbands.
Background:
Police investigate wife for five dead husbands...
http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/06/16/cold.cases.ap/index.html
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (AP) -- Police may have ignored a warning years ago that a woman with five dead spouses was trying to hire a hit man to kill one of the men, investigators in North Carolina said Monday.
Authorities charged 76-year-old Betty Neumar last month with one count of solicitation of murder in the July 1986 death of Harold Gentry. Gentry's brother had begged investigators for two decades to take another look at the case....
Neumar has been married five times since the 1950s, but each union ended with the death of her husband. Investigators want authorities elsewhere to look into the deaths. Williams said investigators have uncovered a common link among the victims: They all had military experience.
..."Keep in mind that it appears that after each husband, she moved on. So she could just tell any story she wanted to tell," Williams said. "That's just what happened. She would come up with some pretty wild stories that she told about herself or what happened to her husbands."

ALBEMARLE - Authorities in Stanly County say a grandmother with five dead spouses has been formally charged with trying to hire a hit man to kill her fourth husband.
Authorities had already charged Betty Neumar, 76, with a single count of solicitation to commit first-degree murder in the July 1986 death of Harold Gentry.
The indictment handed up Tuesday adds two more counts: Grand jurors allege that she tried to hire three different people to kill Gentry between May 1, 1986, and July 13, 1986 -- the day before his body was found in his rural North Carolina home.

So, you are correct that new charges were added. However, these were all connected to the death of the only husband that she's been connected with thus far. I had seen the same stories that you are pointing out and had to check back myself as it sounded misleading.
Hope this helps clarify.
I hate to say this, but I now believe I was wrong.
Thank you for your clarification.
I misread the story.
