I'm still putting NL's possible involvement together in my head...planning or not at all. I'm having problems with all the comments about their relationship. Several have said they were happy together...close...best friends...family. His infidelity doesn't fit that picture. I can't imagine not only being betrayed by my spouse, but having the betrayal by my best friend added to that. I think I would be on a hot path back to what I knew best...where I grew up. On the other hand, if I didn't believe he was capable of any of it...the affair, the pregnancy, and especially the murder...I would stand beside him and defend him. I would even be defiant. If my husband had said that he didn't know EC, but then later said that they had kissed. I would be yelling at him and calling him stupid for not keeping his lies straight. If I didn't think my spouse/best friend was capable of murder, I would be angry at the whole scene & especially at him for even bringing the police to my door. But, I would stand beside him.
Now, if she did believe he was capable of murder....there is a great possibility and likelihood that she helped in the planning. "No body...no charge." She would have no fear of him. She would not worry about their child. She would stand beside him and hope and pray that LE not look at her.
Either she believes he is completely innocent or she has to be involved.
