The Van Groot family was one of the oldest families in Gotham City.
History[]
Constance van Groot was murdered by her butler's son, Jason Skolimski, after he discovered that she wasn't his true mother. Jacob Skolimski then hid her body for many years and gave him much of the family's fortune. Jason was shot dead by detectives Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock years later and Constance's body was also discovered.[1]
