I read this morning when I got up that TM and SM were charged with the murder of HE. I've been busy all day but this thought never left me. I know that we collectively pretty much figured they had killed Heather, but to see the reality of it in the charges has really hit me today. I suppose I was hoping against hope that they had her somewhere and she could be rescued.
They allegedly killed that young, beautiful, naïve girl because she had an affair with the husband. I could understand the wife thinking about taking out her competition, but it's another to follow through with it.
What I don't get is why did SM go with this? HE slept with him, he slept with her, where does he get that this was punishable by death for HE, to the point he participated in the murder, yet he was allowed to live and to roam free??? Really? Seriously??? It boggles the mind.
RIP Heather. You had so much more to do in your life. I'm sorry you didn't get to do it.
As a married woman with a hot temper, I could see me beating the snot out of my husband if he cheated. I could see myself doing the same to the other woman. And I can see where she could be killed in a fit of rage.
What I can't see myself doing is
planning to kill a 20 year old or of any age. I would be completely, I mean COMPLETELY freaked out if I took someone's life. I will try to avoid hitting a tiny frog in the road. As much as I dislike people in general, I just couldn't do it.
My point is that I think most anyone could find themselves in a bad situation and letting the anger take over. But, the big difference, in my opinion, in Tammy's case... she obviously had no remorse. She seems to have gloated in her actions. She succeeded, in her mind, at removing the other woman. And I think she got her jolly from it all.
How can someone take a life and not have or show some remorse? And then to take it further and torment the Elvis family as she did.
As far as for Sidney... My opinion is he's spent lots of time viewing *advertiser censored*... Maybe together with Tammy. *advertiser censored* has a way of desensitizing men toward women. It's possible he saw Heather as no more than an object. Or, like Dr Laura likes to say, "some place warm for him to put his (Richard)".
The Elvis family remain in my thoughts and prayers as do the children of the Moorers. If only people could stop and realize just how far the pain travels from actions like these two committed.
