I respect what you say as well carolinalady. But you see, trashing the memory of his poor dead wife is NOT the answer in how to defend ones-self. After you've seen enough of these cases, you'll see what I mean.
An innocent spouse or loved one, does NOT speak ill of the victim. They get in, sit down, and shut up! AND are as cooperative with LE as possible behind the scenes (so to speak). Why? Because they KNOW they're INNOCENT and it will be proven in the END.
I've seen several cases here on Websleuths, very high profile, where some Websleuthers suspected the family or friends. One's that come to my mind, I looked at the family but couldn't see the connection. They were, family and friends, found out to NOT be connected to the crime at all and the websleuthers who suspected them and discussed it, were very apologetic at the end. (oh, btw, I personally did NOT suspect them and never said I did either)
I do NOT always say it's the husband. Believe me, I have to see some evidence, to me, that points that way. If you look at my posts when this case first began, I did NOT right away believe he did it, or I was hesitant to call the 'usual suspect.' But we've learned much more that points me in that direction.
IF he proves to be innocent, I'll be the FIRST to apologize for suspecting him. I've only had to do it once before. I'd watched a case for days and wasn't quite sure. But one day I decided he 'most likely was involved,' and the very next day the truth came out and he was majorally innocent. The moment I learned what happened, I came to Websleuths and apologized for my mistake. I'll do that here, IF I'm wrong.
Brad needs to realize that he IS the first person EVERYONE would look at for this crime. IF he did NOT do it, he doesn't need to worry because LE will learn that as well. But until then, he's on the 'short list.' Like I said, that's how this is played. He just needs to get over it and he'll get what he deserves. Nancy will get what she deserves. Isn't that what he wants as well?
Justice.
JMHO
