Per The Interview Room latest video. (Chris M. used to work for the Domestic Violence Unit and investigated hundreds, if not 1000s, of domestic homicides, and also trained in Behavioral Analysis through the FBI).
8 Stages to Intimate Partner Homicide by Dr. Jane Monckton-Smith:
Step 1
- Pre-relationship history
Person has a history of stalking or dv, person is controlling, person has previous arrests for violence, inability to accept challenge, thin-skinned and confrontational.
Step 2
-Early relationship behavior/early commitment
Early cohabitation, early pregnancy, early declarations of love using possessive language = "you're mine," "together 4ever," pushes for early commitment, possessive at early stage, jealousy at early stages, resists attempts to slow down or end relationship.
Step 3
-Relationship behaviors/ risk markers
Coercive control, stalking, violence (even low-level pushing and shoving), sexual aggression, possessiveness, jealousy, threats to suicide or kill, isolation of victim from family and friends.
Step 4
-Potential homicide trigger- separation, ill health, financial problems, threats/rumors
Separation, threat of separation, imagines a separation (constant accusations of cheating, for example) bankruptcy or financial ruin, physical health deteriorates in offender or victim, mental health deteriorates in offender or victim, redundancy/retirement, event which prompts retaliation or revenge on victim.
Step 5
-Escalation, Frequency, Seriousness, Stalking, Persistence
Concerning behaviors becoming more frequent, concerning behaviors becoming more serious or severe, stalking (even low-level), threats to kill or suicide, may use language like "I won't let you leave," "I can't live without you," If I can't have you, no one will."
Step 6
-Change in thinking
Last attempts at reconciliation (take a holiday, begging, crying, temper, force and violence, threats), stalking, victim does not or can not respond to threats, new relationship for victim, financial or reputation ruin is imminent or irreversible, mental or physical health deterioration is irreversible, status irretrievably diminished.
Step 7
-Planning- buying weapons, grave digging, manipulate meetings, letters, organize papers
Stalking, change in usual behavior, possible withdrawal, increased menace, may tell people of plans (or may continue to make threats), internet searches.
Step 8
-Homicide, homicide/suicide, confession, missing person, denial, accident, multiple victims
Clear homicide with confession, homicide with suicide of offender, homicide made to look like suicide, homicide made to look like "mercy killing," homicide made to look like accident, homicide made to look like misadventure or natural causes.

*****Also, just noting, Chris said Barry has left the house, but Suzanne never left the house. (That's all he will say about that).
