OK, I'm back - meant to be back sooner but got too busy. I have read this entire thread now and hope I understand the rules. If I stray off the rules admin, please don't punt me! I am here in good faith - actually spent exhaustive hours on this myself.
To start, I will say that following the show I did have a private conversation with Park. I said to him that for me, if she made it home from work then I can't see how he had anything to do with this situation. If she didn't make it home after he picked her up then there are two possible theories in my mind. He did something to bring an end to her life, or on the way home they quarreled and maybe she screamed at him to stop the car. He may have out of his own frustration stopped the car and let her out and then went home. Her never returning home may in fact leave him feeling responsible because who leaves their ill wife out in the middle of nowhere to walk home. That could explain the "inconclusive" polygraph results.
Now, I do keep in my mind that most of what I heard is just what Park said. So when he says that the police checked everything out and have him on video at the stores, and says they did handwriting analysis on the note, that they did forensic search of the home and property - I have not been able to confirm any of that from the police.
I tried to call the investigating officer several times, and even though I asked for his direct number did not receive a direct number for him. I also asked for a direct email address for him so I could email him and the person answering the incoming calls said they don't have individual email addresses? (I find that hard to believe). I finally gave up, although had notified a sister of Tammy's that the interview was there, gave her the link and my thoughts on it all, and could only hope that someone in the family let them know of the radio interview.
I understand that the State Police were prepared to get actively involved but that protocol requires them to be invited, and that invitation was never extended. Much frustration that the several ponds and bodies of water in the area were NOT searched.
There is no way she left that home on foot, or the dogs would have picked up on the scent.
The stress over money I have confirmed to my satisfaction, and that was one of the main reasons that Tammy never went more frequently for psych appointments. She went every three or four months to have prescriptions renewed. I also was shocked to find that the police allegedly never took into evidence (for testing) any of the prescription bottles. I would think it would be critical to compare dates of prescription refills against remaining quantity to see if any meds were "missing" which might indicate an issue there to be followed up on. My understanding is that Park still has the remaining meds locked in a safe at home.
I also was not bothered by the fact that the phone was put on the charger (based on what Park said) - as it seems these days that the phones are almost inseparable from many people and no matter what is going on it has become absolute routine to charge phones up. I do know the police have the records from her phone so yes, in my opinion they can tell when messages were deleted. It is my understanding that many (lots and lots) of text messages were deleted. I also understand that the police followed up on the person who those messages were with; I was told they actually went or sent someone to where Park and Tammy were from, to search this person's home.
Based on knowing some rather sensitive information (sorry if I'm not allowed to say that), I am absolutely satisfied that Tammy was quite messed up psychologically. The alleged affair, I feel did happen, that older man now dead from suicide. There is much more there that if I were allowed to go into details would add a whole new understanding on where her state of mind may have been.
I had the same questions about what did the boys "actually" see that morning. It is quite possible that the idea was simply in their mind that mom was resting and they need to be quiet etc., and it's why I asked during the interview if the police separated the boys and questioned them separately THAT DAY. The police (again by Park's statements) followed up with a couple of visits to the older boy's school where they purportedly questioned the boy. If I recall, Park said during my interview of him that the bedroom is visible from the stairs or the door where they left from and the bedroom door open so they could see her in bed then. It did bother me when he said something about co-workers or something saying there might have been alcohol on her breath - and recall saying well did you kiss her goodbye, as I doubt that any of the co-workers got closer than that and asked him if he smelled alcohol. That seemed strange to me.
I'm not as sure that the more recent "suicide attempt" was an attempt as much as it was possible that if she drank and was on her meds there could have been concern about an OD - but an accidental OD does not a suicide attempt make.
AS to the loud muffler. I hate saying this but if we are in a search for the truth and our intent is to find Tammy then some sensitive things need to come up or questions need to be asked. I would be very interested in where the daughter's phone pinged from that day from 10 am till Park and the boy's got home. She was not old enough to drive but the friend who she stayed with the night before was and did in fact have a car. I have to at least close off any possibility that the daughter went home after Park and the boys went out. Just as a theory - what if there was some argument - there was stairs there - what if there was a situation where and accident happens and mom falls down the stairs. I am not saying that's probable but for me, it would be important to find out where the daughter's phone was during the timeline of interest. Scared kid, friend with a car... maybe there was an old note somewhere laying around (or it wasn't mom's handwriting). What I never got clear was whether they ever had cadaver dogs on the case. I was told the scent dogs were brought out probably by 2 pm or so (maybe a bit later) but what about cadaver dogs?
I was highly doubting the attempted suicide by her stabbing herself in the chest. It's a most unusual way (statistically) for a woman to attempt suicide, but that has been confirmed to my satisfaction actually (very surprising).
I've been torn about this case. More than a few times I've been back and forth over whether I believed Park had anything to do with this.
I even was hot on the pursuit of a theory that Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr. (arrested for Hannah Graham disappearance) could have been right in the precise area of where Tammy went missing from but the timeline seems to be off by a bit. He allegedly left the police department on the morning of Sept. 20, 2014 at a high rate of speed. There was a report that "as of" Sept 21 he had his sister's car, however with how inaccurate news reports can be - I was interested in the notion that if he sped away and was fleeing police (who were not in pursuit), because he was imminently going to be arrested in the Hannah Graham case - he was found I think about a week later in Texas on a beach. Well I put in to google maps what route to get from Va to Texas (having also inputted Merriweather) and was shocked to see that his route could have taken him exactly to the area she went missing from. Time wise - it's a six and a half hour drive (driving at the speed limit) - I can't find it now but it seemed as it was fairly early in the morning when he fled the Charlottesville, VA police department - like 8 am or so... so if Tammy was out walking around (having demanded to be let out of the car when Park was bringing her home from work) and if This Jesse guy was speeding it might be possible that they crossed paths. Not extremely probably, but possible. I am just mentioning this to show that I've tried to be fair and consider all possible theories and not just zeroing in on the husband. There are possibly more women suspected to have gone missing at the hands of this Jesse guy, He pled guilty to two counts of murder on March 2 of this year.

In any case this has been a lot of information and the hour is late (or early depending on whether you slept yet or not - which I haven't) so if anyone has any questions or comments I'll be back to see if I can offer anything from my "sleuthing".
I have been disappointed by what I consider a lack of thorough investigation, and upset at the lack of national media attention. I wrote to the Nancy Grace show several times and none of those messages were responded to at all. Very disappointing. I just don't understand why these police jurisdictions have to keep the walls up - I'd think that if the State Police with more resources were willing to step in that the local police would be happy to invite them, but that does not seem to be the case. Of course, it could be that they know more than is said, and as one poster mentioned - they are just waiting for a slip up, or as happens in many cases someone else knows and after a falling out they go tell. Thank you to those who listened to my show, and in particular to the member from here who took a moment to write to me (which was what alerted me to the fact that there was some discussion going on here as a result of my show being discovered).
Again, I'm sorry if I made any rule violations in my post I'm a bit nervous about upsetting the admin here. Peace out, and I'll be back, and may even have a clearer head then!
