Good morning, Sleuthers. I had a hard time getting to sleep last night -- kept thinking about Zahra and the Fargo-esque wood chipper. Unfortunately, the SM and father remind me of some of the sick characters from the movie Fargo, as does the suspected method of disposing of the dear little girl's body. Here's to hoping that the suspects in this real life crime mirror the stupidity of the characters in the make-believe one.
It is amazing to me that the father would have allowed the SM to control him so far as to get him involved in the cover-up of such a crime. But as we Sleuthers have seen, time and time again, that some people value the love of an adult companion over that of their own flesh and blood.
Based on what I have read here about the SM, It is my belief that she is the one who murdered the girl, then somehow talked the father into covering it up. Now he is a partner in it -- and maybe torn in half by his daughter's death and the actions he took to cover up the wife's crime. Just speculation -- and such speculation does not absolve him from guilt and his failed responsibility to protect his daughter. This is all very upsetting and heartbreaking.
BBM. I agree. I keep thinking of a Nathan and Stephanie Sloop type scenario, as sad as it is to think about, reversing the gender of the main perp.
