At this point, I am just wondering about the plea deal. Was SW's "final answer" up to signing up plea deal that he left Tricia at the side of a road? Does the plea deal require that LE no discover anything that contradicts that (obviously a burial in acid contradicts his statement)? Also, is the location of her remains anywhere near the spot he told LE he left her? Also is it possible the plea deal applied only to find second degree murder charges filed? Because if so, a separate charge for 1st degree wou presumably no be precluded by the plea deal. He agreed to 35 years to "settle" the second degree charge. But if you 1st degree charge is filed, presumably , plea is inapplicable to the new 1st degree charge. In that regard, where the heck does someone buy acid like that? Home depot link to it online? If he bought it there will be cameras. This is 1st degree unless he bought acid in the middle of the night or there were other uses for the acid. It is possible LE carefully structured the plea deal so that they could still file 1st degree charges but at least get her remains back. They may have known of the acid purchase before the plea deal. Was SW represented by counsel at the time the plea deal was signed?
