IMO, the evidence so far points to MS being involved (I'd love to be wrong).
But I still can't get out of my head that MS would only resort to something as extreme as murder if he felt that TS was going to leave him (the relationship "no longer served" her) and his ego and professional life were going to be destroyed. MS wanting out so bad when TS had so much going for her (successful career, TV contracts, etc) just doesn't make sense to me, even if he did have a relationship on the side (not suggesting he did, just speculating a possible motive). Skinner said he bragged about TS all the time, so clearly his self-worth was tied up in being associated with her. If MS was evil enough to murder, why wouldn't he just have affairs and stay married? And if he wanted money, wasn't he getting lots of it by being with TS? IMO, he could not afford to lose her, for financial and egotistical reasons.
As a crime victim, he gets sympathy instead of being seen as a rejected has-been. And he gets the life insurance (assuming it exists) that wouldn't have been needed if they stayed together. TS sister could even have known if TS was planning to leave, but that wouldn't make her immediately suspect MS - that would just be unimaginable. Couples split all the time, and it would seem like a tragic coincidence; MS would still be totally deserving of the family's sympathy. IMO JMO.
Kings have given up crowns for the women they love. i agree with everything you said about self worth, financial ruin etc. But men and women do it all the time. I wonder about the nature of the insurance policy beneficiary.. Perhaps TS recently changed the beneficiary from her husband to her 2 children? OR, maybe, the beneficiary designation was changed by "someone" having a POA from the 2 children to the husband. Now you would need a witness to change a beneficiary ( i know, i just did it). I wonder if there is a clue there somewhere? TS may have taken some steps prior to a split if one was even contemplated. Maybe she did change her beneficiary from MS to someone else( like a trust for the kids) and he found out? Sadly, money is a big motivator and with the solicitations it appears it certainly is front and center in this situation. JMO
