This is an act of a madman -- someone without any parental or spousal emotions, or is devoid of human emotion at all (except when it comes to his dogs).
When he said "why would I risk killing myself to recover a body" kind of summed it up for me. Unhuman - alien. Not a husband, parent, or friend. Not even someone who could refer to the body as his wife.
