eddy: I agree with some of what you have written. But not all. Ferrante is not a medical doctor. He has a Phd. I don't know in what - probably chemistry or something to do with biology. But I don't think he would have had any intimate knowledge of emt protocols for transport.
I think it was not meant to be a "mysterious death". I think he thought she would just die immediately. Like they do on TV. Then he would say I don't know what happened, she had been having dizziness, headaches, and light-headedness recently. I don't think he ever, ever envisioned her making it alive into an ER, let alone being treated.
And when a person arrives DOA at the ER, there is really not much done. The hospitals really don't even want to treat them because it makes their statistics for ER treatment look bad. (I kid you not about this.) But because it was one of their own, they likely would have made some effort as resuscitation and then declared here.
The fact that Autumn Klein did not die immediately is what screwed him, in my opinion.
As far as the divorce situation, yes, I think a divorce would have been an ego blow to him. When they met he was the top dog and she was the young student. Now, she was doing wonderful in her career and his - not so much. I have a little bit of inside knowledge of UPMC higher echelons. The word is that they wanted HER to come from Boston. It was a great opportunity for her. But she would not come unless they found something for him. So they agreed and got the other guy, Friedman, to set something up for him. But it was basically no big deal. One primary researcher and three employees is not any kind of a major program, especially at UPMC. Plus the word is that NOBODY liked him, even before Autumn died. All of this is just what was told to me by someone who is in a position to know. So it is gossip. But it all points to him being on the waning end of his career, while she was just beginning to achieve prominence.
The money. His concern would be for his overall net worth. According to articles, they had about $900,000 in joint accounts. But he had $2.5 million in his own name. After the death, he started moving money into an account he had set up with his daughter. That is when the investigators went to court to get his assets frozen.
His ego: Oh, I think he had a large one. And losing his wife to some younger hot shot doctor would be quite a blow. In addition, she was likely demanding sex at specific times. Because of her (imo unwise) preoccupation with getting pregnant.
What makes any man, be he a doctor or a ditch digger, decide it is a good idea to murder his wife? I have no idea. But it sure seems that plenty enough of them do it. And yes, I agree with you, "disappearing" someone would make it less likely to get caught.
If I were on the jury, I would want to take a very careful look at the dates and the content involved with the computer searches and the emails. Ferrante said today that he had the cyanide overnighted because he was on a deadline for a proposed research grant. So he was doing online research on cyanide for months, but then he was on such a tight deadline that he had to have the stuff overnighted? Like so many other things, it doesn't make good sense.
"Hospitals around Nemacolin"? "How does a coroner detect cyanide"?
I sure hope they convict him.
