Sounds like he was hospitalized for exposure. The Sheriff said they thought he was actually jogging for 2+ hours trying to get away from police. Also, that he tried to seek shelter by hiding from them as well. So if he was outside for many hours--tired from walking/jogging and then wet from trudging in the snow--he probably is suffering from exposure, frostbite, etc. There's quite a bit of snow in that area and the temp was probably 20 degrees or less last night. Didn't sound like they actually found any weapons on him or that he actually tried to attempt suicide.
In his statement to the press, his 'former' attorney said he'd hoped he could have done more to talk him out of killing himself, and now he thinks he must have said the right thing because he was found alive. (not exact words)
I don't think that's it at all. He wasn't planning on killing himself, IMO. He was just trying to figure out how he was going to get away from the law as he knew he'd be found out once LE was going through his home.
I understand from something I read or heard, that there was no visible indications on her torso as to cause of death. IMHO, he probably strangled her. I think it's premeditated too and NOT a 'crime of passion or the heat of the moment.' His emails just weeks before Tara disappeared points to setting up of this crime, IMHO. I'm sure the jury is going to see that too.
Is there a DP in his state? Doesn't really matter, I'm sure he'll get life, at least I hope so. It's not just the killing of his wife and mother of his children that's disturbing about this case. It's what he did afterwards that makes this so heinous.
JMHO

PS...Kadie, I know you feel more connected to this case than many of us because of your husband's co-worker knowing Tara. I hope you're ok and along with my condolances to Tara's family, to your husband's co-worker as well........fran
PPS...Small comfort, but at least Tara will get justice.
