Late ‘GH’ Star Johnny Wactor’s Mom’s Effort to Open His iPhone Denied

by

In an exclusive report by Us Weekly, a judge in Los Angeles refused Scarlett Wactor’s effort to obtain access to Johnny Wactor’s iPhone and computer following the General Hospital star’s passing.

On June 24, the court denied Scarlett due to there being “insufficient urgency to grant relief.”

Upon being asked for a comment regarding the issue, Scarlett shared with us that she’s unsure of her next move, but plans to consult with her lawyer about possibly submitting a fresh petition in court. Scarlett mentioned that she hadn’t anticipated encountering such difficulties, given her role as the court-assigned administrator.

She said if she tries to reset the devices, she will “lose all the things I want.”

She strongly advises all Apple product users to designate a legacy contact, to spare their loved ones from experiencing the same troubles.

In line with our initial report, I recently shared that, as Johnny’s estate administrator, I’ve been encountering difficulties in persuading Apple to unlock certain devices.

Scarlett was informed by the tech firm that they required a court order to help her access the contents of Johnny’s Apple laptop, desktop, and iPhone.

In her request to the court, she sought a mandate for Apple to assist in the retrieval of Johnny’s private information.

Earlier this week, Scarlett discussed the matter regarding her difficulties with Apple and canceling certain accounts with us, describing it as a “frustrating” experience.

Scarlett expressed her belief that the devices probably held images and clips she was eager to view. In her words, she was hoping to discover a “trove of interesting items” on his mobile device and computer.

“I don’t want to erase [them],” she told Us.

Previously, we shared that Scarlett attended the premiere of Johnny’s final movie this week, which took place in L.A. – Ciao, Mama!

Earlier on, it was mentioned that Scarlett graced the premiere of Johnny’s last film in L.A. this past week. Until next time, dear Mama!

Scarlett went to the premiere accompanied by Lance Wactor, Johnny’s sibling. During the event, Scarlett conversed with journalists and shared that she was eager to listen to her deceased son’s voice and catch a glimpse of him.

The soap star was murdered on May 25, 2024, in Downtown L.A. He was 37.

As Johnny and his colleague, Anita Joy, were exiting Level 8 restaurant, an actor encountered a troubling situation: supposed thieves, armed and trying to take parts from his car, had appeared near his vehicle. In this confrontation, Johnny was unfortunately shot on the spot.

A security guard attempted to perform CPR before the actor was rushed to the hospital.

Joy remembered the instant following when Johnny was shot. She put it as, “he suddenly fell backward into my embrace and I reached out to hold him.

A prize was given out for any helpful information leading to the capture of the suspects. In due time, three individuals affiliated with the Florencia 13 gang were apprehended in connection with the murder, while another individual was indicted as an accomplice.

Two individuals, Robert Barceleau and Sergio Estrada, were formally accused of committing murder. Meanwhile, Leonel Gutierrez faced charges for attempted robbery and gun possession. Additionally, Frank Olano was indicted for possessing stolen goods and having a firearm while being a convicted felon.

Based on the accounts, Gutierrez admitted guilt and received a sentence of four years in a state penitentiary. On the other hand, Olano’s accusations were lessened following his “no contest” plea. He was mandated to serve a term of five years.

Barceleau and Estrada’s cases are still pending.
