Excerpt: "the personality disorder most likely to actually kill his spouse is dependent and passive-aggressive."
Would it be passive-aggressive behavior for a husband to give his wife a cash allowance, and remove her access to credit cards and bank accounts, especially when both spouses did not agree to this, and the poor financial condition of the family was caused by both?
It seems to me it would be, because the power over the money is solely in the hands of one of the contributors to the problem.
I think BC felt very threatened and took control over NC's access to funds and over her ability to do what she wanted to do, which was to move to Canada with their daughters.
He did not interfere with her daily life, and gave her enough money to buy groceries and necessities, because the only thing that was important to him was that she did not leave *and* take their daughters with her.
She had a lawyer, and an initial separation agreement had been drafted. He read it, saw the handwriting on the wall, and killed her.
Furthermore, he figured out a way to kill her bloodlessly so that no occult blood could be detected at the crime scene. He cleaned or threw away everything that could possibly have other bodily substances on it. He dumped her body in a relatively out of the way place and figured nature would do its job. Voila! No direct physical proof that he committed the crime. The availability of abundant circumstantial evidence will be his Archilles' heel.
At this point, I think BC killed Nancy, but I could change my mind, depending on what happens during the rest of his trial. I am not wedded to my opinion at all.
I cannot get past this, however, especially since Nancy had other sports bras, and none of them IIRC, were red and black:
He rubbed his forehead with his right hand and held his head with his left hand as he told detectives Nancy Cooper, his wife of almost eight years, usually wore a red and black sports bra when she went out for runs. He stopped talking after that and never mentioned any other clothes.
Detectives had not told him that the woman's body found near a drainage ditch in an unfinished Wake County subdivision was clad in nothing more than a sports bra pushed up under her arms.
