She seems to have thought it could NOT be Jeff, and yet somehow felt she had to bring it up, or felt that Wendi had to bring it up. This suggests to me that she possibly would not have brought Jeff up or suggested Wendi mention him to the investigators, had it not been for their walk earlier in the week.I'm not sure about the '"Jeff would be my vote" comment, but I do recall she made it clear that she didn’t think Jeff was capable of the murder. She even said something to the effect of that she views him as a ‘decent’ guy and she said be more inclined to suspect ‘someone like you’ - not sure who she was directing the ‘you’ to, I don’t recall who speaking to at the time (victim’s advocate?)
The ex is just logical choice – IMO, it had nothing to do with her believing it was Jeff.
Also notable, as I see it, is the fact that the victim advocate - who Wendi likely knew was a social worker like Jane and might possibly be trained to be empathetic and attuned to the possibility of abuse or stalking - just happened to be in the room while they were discussing it and immediately picked up on it.
Again, in my opinion we can’t rule out the possibility of subtle manipulation.
It’s true that Jane is the first to bring him up, but it is what happens afterward and the lead-up to telling Isom that I find most interesting.
