Seriously? That's the story you were told?
Myself and a good friend went to melindas ON New Year's Eve bc Melinda called and was in tears bc Steve took baby e and left!! I LEFT the New Year's Eve party I was at to go sit with her a half hour from my house!
I can't even begin to understand where this information you have gathered has come from. You already stated you didn't know Melinda, and that's clear bc she would NEVER try to pick up her daughter for "obvious" reason. && you clearly didn't know their relationship at all, to think for a half a second that Steve would allow her to go out without him!
When I took her and baby e to the mall with me she had to have that life whatever app to check in every 20 mins. I don't mean to come off as harsh and I understand you are just repeating the "facts" you have been given. However your facts seem to be a lot of hear say, as to what im saying i witnessed with my own eyes/ears. I've known Melinda and Steve BOTH for years.

How I wish I'd taken screen shots of Melinda's facebook. I saw where she posted how he'd kicked her out. I saw where she was questioned by friends/relatives about destruction of family photos.
I saw how happy she was ( "He's talking to me!!!!" ) just to have him TALK to her.
There's a reason LE consider those closest to the victim as suspects; in the mjority of cases they're GUILTY. I get that SL has people who care about him, I can't begin to imagine how difficult this situation must be for them. And yet there has to come a time when logic prevails.
The bottom line is a young mother was killed in her home.
Her husband presented an implausible story of being assaulted and tied up and yet survived the attack despite being the bigger threat.
LE as well as the DA decided there is enough evidence to warrant an arrest and trial.
There is no logical way to make SL'S explanation of the events on that night work. There just isnt. His alleged abuse of Melinda in my opinion is substantiated and proven by her FB posts. I find it strangely convenient for SL, and a convenient coincidence, that her FB was deactivated just after people began to use it to pick apart his version of events.
Starshine4u, I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry that your family member acted in such a manner that brought you here. But I believe with everything inside me that you're being misled. I'm sorry if I'm out of line, but nothing from the SL camp adds up in my opinion.
Why would Melinda post about being home alone on NYE if she was out partying? In the message she forwarded to her father, SL is saying "leave if you want, baby stays with me"... what mother would leave?
Melinda's own father stated SL would use Baby Girl to control Melinda and keep her from visiting family, that text proves it.
