We've all seen it, the murder-for-hire, the frustrated spouse, the need for life insurance money, etc. played out many times. When I first started reading about this case, in a (sadly) desensitized way, I didn't think much about it beyond my heart going out to the victim's loved ones. However, the depravity in this case goes beyond almost anything I've ever known. Not only is MS an "alleged" murderer, if his calendar entries are true - he's a rapist or a closet rapist, in my opinion. Any man/woman that molests another in their sleep is despicable to me. The sex talk, the finding it "very cute" that his daughter comments on something sexual (maybe not to her, but in his context), the possibility of things being seen/overheard "accidentally", etc. Some of the posts here regarding MS's calendar/text entries have me fearing his daughters were not safe - AT ALL.
Coming from a childhood rife with predatory family members/friends, maybe I'm a bit jaded. However, my instinct is what it is....It kept me alive. My heart breaks for these girls even more. Their environment was becoming more and more exclusionary. The term grooming comes to mind. MS is an absolutely vile sack of skin, IMO. I have - I'm gonna keep the rest to myself (I hope...lol). While I will do my best to keep my mouth shut, I will continue to send thoughts of healing, hope, and strength to TS's entire network of family/loved ones.
I didn't look to see whether or not there was one, but is there some way to put a graphic content warning? That may just go with the territory here. I know many crime scene photos are labeled graphic, so just thought I would ask. I apologize if it seems an unreasonable request. TIA
