He was just 39 years old in 1975, when he presumably murdered his wife. He retired and moved on with his life. Even had a girlfriend within weeks of Carol's "disappearance."

He's 86 years old now. I guess he figured he was home free, before he was arrested and is now being tried for murder. I doubt that girlfriend, who maybe became his wife, stuck around.

Moral of this story: Just get a divorce.

Wish it hadn't taken so long, but satisfied that justice was done. The family can possibly be at peace now. There are so many other cases with similar circumstances (no body). I know it takes years to resolve them, and sometimes it never happens.

As to where she is... I think we should remember he was a Coast guard and, apparently, his coworkers were on his side in this story, so... may he had disposed her body on the ocean? I couldn't find any UID that really fits, maybe this Jane Doe, but her race is undetermined:
