Agree - he is clearly the psycho. The proof is in the pudding. He wiped out his entire family and thought he was smooth enough to get away with it. He killed them, hid their bodies and then he gave interviews to the media, lied to LE, etc. This was premeditated homicide, IMO, and he fully intended to get away with it. I am just waiting for a girlfriend to surface.
His name, in addition to Shanann's, is on the deed to the house, and my guess is he's also on the mortgage. He was also a party to the 2015 bankruptcy and he knew, at that time, that they had $400,000 in unsecured debt and he also knew his income was insufficient to support their huge mortgage. He is no innocent babe in the woods.
He is an abuser, IMO. He knew his wife suffered from lupus, which is a very serious auto-immune disorder that can kill. I'm sure she had many days when her disease flared and she could barely get out of bed. A full-time job is problematic when you have a disease like this because there is a need to take days off when you are in a flare and the flares are unpredictable and there is no way to tell how long the flare will last. Even the most sympathetic employer eventually gets very tired of this. Shanann also had two small children to care for, which further complicated her employment options.
Given what I know about lupus, I don't think the expensive, 4100 sq ft home was her idea. She didn't need the stress of cleaning it, and she very likely did not have the energy for it. She also didn't need the stress of having a huge mortgage. Given the fact he didn't earn enough to afford the house, he didn't do what a loving and supportive husband and father does. He didn't go out and get a part-time job for himself, and get out from the huge mortgage, which would have simplified her life so she could take care of her health.
He let the burden fall on her shoulders. The poor woman was ILL. MLM likely seemed like a good solution to her and it probably also gave her some hope. She spent a lot of time on social media and that is probably because this was something she could do while laying down or resting.
My heart absolutely breaks for Shanann and for her babies. I think she married an absolute monster and she didn't know who he really was until it was too late. I think he kept upping the game on her constantly, making her jump through impossible hoops until he finally decided he was done with her.
