I have a question, while I have been reading regularly, I *missed* how it was determined or related that the "business trip" was actually to Va. I am repeating someone else but I was too wondering how this trip to Va would "warrant" Jason swinging by the folks house after (if it appears that the folks are rather far from Va.)
While watching Greta on Tuesday night I think they read a "statement" from Jason's employer- Chart One confirmed he is/was an employee and they send their condolences to the family. That really made me think of SP because I would almost swear his employer kind of echoed these same sentiments? I am not implying anything but it felt like a deja vu moment.
The car accident in 05 does seem suspicious now, but probably wouldn't seem suspicious then. Until it was "coupled" with this murder, it kind of shines a new light towards it. Another thing that leaves me puzzled is that if Jason didn't want anymore children, what would have saved Cassidy? (IF Jason is the killer?)
Sometime back in the thread I believe a poster worked for the same Energy company as Michelle (not with her) but could possible know if the employer also has an insurance policy in place on all employees (that used to be a rather customary practice among large employers)- usually though it seems that payout on those policies can vary from 10,000 on up. BUT if Michelle was the main breadwinner in the family, it would make a lot of sense to have her life insured at a rather high benefit ammount. Has there been any confirmation on an existing insurance policy? (Also to any NC people out there, mortgage insurance will pay off the mortgage in the event of one spouses death, is it the same in NC?) Any of these things taken into consideration could suggest that there could be a financial motive IF Jason is the killer.
In another post, a person mentioned that Jason could have left a window open for a hired person to go through, the only problem I see with that scenerio is that if Michelle was security conscious, I would bet she checked every window/door in that house before she went to bed. I do a cursory check every night since the Lunsford case. But in the same vein I wonder if Jason left a hidden key and an "intruder" used that? (And did Meredith use that key as well to get in to collect the fax?)...
Okay, my last out loud thought here pertains to where Michelle was found. I am under the assumption she was in the couple's bedroom and it seems to be in the "upstairs" in the house. It seems as though the bedroom is a personal place and even in my house (very small) a person would have to check into each room to see which was my bedroom- meaning an intruder would have to almost travel the house to find me- wouldn't that send off a lot of noise to alert Michelle to someone sneaking around her house? Or could a person have been in hiding in the bedroom? I don't know, I think I just keep coming back to Jason because he would be able to get in the house rather quietly and have an excuse handy if Michelle were still awake. (There was a case of a lawyer who killed his wife from behind under the guise of making love to her- it wouldn't be hard for a man to stand behind his wife and hug her because I don't think we are suspicious of our mate thinking he might whack us in the head with something?)
And my other "last" thought... has it been confirmed that they have a dog?
Thanks all for being patient with my rambling thought process!
