Falls from Cliff. Survivability?
... If he took her somewhere in the mountains and killed her, that = premeditated! ... poster has been speculating for a while now that he took her in the mountains and pushed her off a cliff. I think now that could be the case.
@happyday sbm Just jumping off your post, yes, could have happened that way.
In movies the spouse pushing mate off a cliff, bridge, or tall bldg does the intended job - killing them. Also works IRL too, but sometimes the mate
survives the fall, tho incurring serious injuries. Does that area have terrain allowing reasonably easy pedestrian
access or adult man carrying 100 lb woman to a
1500 foot cliff to serve as launch site?*
Sometimes a shorter fall like from 280 or 400 feet** does the trick.
Before acting, a belt & suspenders kinda guy could search online for falling deaths, scout topo maps, learn about surviving falls from much higher heights, and decide not to go that route. W or w'out research, he might rely on no/delayed medical treatment to fulfill his intentions. There could be a revealing history of
online searches on BM's or a buddy's devices.

* "
A falling person at low altitude typically reaches terminal velocity of 190 km/h (120 mph) after about 12 seconds, falling some 450 m (1,500 ft) in that time." Also describes incidents of survival from higher falls.
