This case keeps replaying in my head. I can't imagine how an entire family, if they're all guilty as it appears, could value life so little that they felt entitled to take it away from someone else. Out of the four of them, not one voice of reason spoke up. It's mind-numbing.
Equally astonishing is their belief that they could escape the consequences in a world brimming with cameras and digital databases in 2014. How could a family be so smart and so dumb at the same time? Didn't they realize that their plan to "take care of their problem" would cost them their own lives as well?
It's almost as if this family's intellect is overshadowed by their shortsightedness. Many other wealthy and intelligent families face similar situations with members going through difficult divorces, but they haven't taken this route.
And Charlie, it seems like he was influenced by someone he seeks approval from since he really had no personal stake in where Wendi lived. It's as if he was enveloped in naivety, blind to the gravity of his actions...to take a life away and ruin everyone's around him, including his own.
