In terrible synchrony, just as the anniversary of JDs murder approaches, another DV spousal murder of a CT mother unfolds in the case of Jessica Edwards, in the same town where KM lived until he sold his house for bail.
JE was in the process of filling out divorce papers and had an 8 month old child.
I see they used schoolbus cams as well as cell phone pings and CCTV footage to nail the husband who like FD showed little interest or concern for his missing wife and claimed his innocence with all kinds of fabricated stories. (Husband also loved fast cars and had guns, like FD, and her locked bedroom door had been pried open...)
So far only manslaughter in that case, but so many echoes of the JD case in terms of the dynamics.
It is so depressing to see how these storylines repeat themselves, leaving children without a mother and families torn apart by grief.
MOO.
