He had a girlfriend didn't he? I don't think he intended to stay married

It was reported he had a girlfriend, yes.

She was about six weeks pregnant, and her husband told detectives where to find her body.

He was also having an affair, according to a source close to the investigation.

If husband BR was having an affair, I don't think Jennifer would have stayed married to him either, and the answer would not be murder! BR is a selfish coward.

Beau Rothwell to be arraigned in 3 weeks.

Jennifer Rothwell would have turned 30 today

 

[Knox]

My thoughts are with Jennifer's family, such a senseless loss. He could have divorced her and went on with his weaselly life

I keep wondering about this case and what exactly happened. Friends and family have all been so quiet about it. Prayers for their families.

That's for the update. Since BR was indicted by the GJ, he goes straight to trial so I'm glad to read about the pretrial hearing in June.

The Judge was previously lenient with cameras in his courtroom so hope that continues. MOO

Wow -- he's been in jail for more than two years!

What was the motive for this horrible crime?? Why not simply take responsibility??
Did this guy not think of consequences?? Taking responsibility vs two lives lost! I just don't understand. Is this guy not all there or really dumb? Imo, or is he a victim, too?! (sarcasm intended) moo

Apparently he was having an affair. Here is some background information.
Trial begins for man charged with killing his pregnant wife
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV) - A St. Louis County jury starts hearing evidence against Beau Rothwell, the man charged with killing his pregnant wife, Monday.

Rothwell is accused of killing his wife Jennifer Rothwell in November of 2019. Police said she was six weeks pregnant when her husband Beau killed her and then dumped her body near Highway 61 near Troy, Mo, just 40 miles away from their home near Creve Coeur.

According to court documents, Beau Rothwell told officers he last saw his wife Jennifer Rothwell when she was leaving their home on Northwinds Drive to go to work at 6:20 a.m. on Nov. 12. According to phone records, Beau Rothwell missed four calls from his wife. Around 8 p.m., Beau Rothwell said a co-worker of Jennifer Rothwell’s informed him she never showed up for work. They then searched for her car and found it parked on the shoulder of Olive Blvd., about a 1.2-mile drive from the Rothwell home.

I followed this case..That makes sense, but I still don't understand. I mean, why resort to something that drastic and final? Which head was he thinking with?

 

[joe jones]

Wonder what his defense will be considering he led them to her body. He is another spouse who thought murder not divorce would be the answer, and once again stupid is as stupid does and another one who thought he was smarter than everybody and would get away with it.

I have no answers as to how to prevent this from continuously happening but it does need to stop.

He was a coward in 2019 and nothing has changed!

And today, coming up with the story he killed his wife but it was a crime of passion, no!! He should have saved this family a trial and confessed 3 years ago.

Arrogant jerk.
