Law & Order SVU/Organized Crime Spoilers: Was Richard Wheatley Involved In Olivia’s Brother’s Death?

Law & Order Special Victims Unit/Organized Crime spoilers tease that in the next crossover event scheduled to air on May 13, Captain Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) will again team up to solve a crime. It would seem that there is more to Olivia’s late brother Simon Marsden’s (Michael Weston) death than met the eye – Richard Wheatley (Dylan McDermott) and his organization may have been involved!

Simon Marsden Had Drug Problems But Had Assured His Half-Sister He Was Clean Prior To His Death

Longtime Law & Order: SVU viewers will recall that after years of estrangement, Olivia and her half-brother Simon finally reconnected and reconciled. He had some drug problems but had assured Olivia that he had overcome them and was clean prior to his death from a drug overdose. Simon and Olivia were to have met for a meal and he didn’t show up. She had been unable to reach him and as revealed in the last episode of Organized Crime, where she assisted Elliot’s family in an intervention, she regretted making assumptions that he had stood her up. Later, she found out he was dead from an overdose.

The two were siblings through the rape of Olivia’s mother by his father, so they were half-siblings on their father’s side. Olivia had discovered Simon and her father’s identity back in season eight of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. But something about Simon’s sudden death has never sat right with Olivia, and she has had the feeling that there was more to the story. She suspects that Wheatley, who Elliot is investigating, and his organization may have been involved and so she recruits Elliot to help her get to the truth. Tying Simon’s death to Wheatley may be just the thing to help Elliot’s team take Wheatley down, and will give Olivia more closure about her brother’s death.
