His lawyer also said this is not what it looks like.
LE said they know exactly who killed Heather.
We know that TM is very anal a planner down to every menu item for a trip 8 months away. I suspect she obsessed over a scenario where she could lure Heather out and ambush her. All the while, using SM's phone, his SM and even him for some aspects...thus if anything went wrong everyone could say that SM did something.
IMO, he has already talked and told the truth. I believe or am leaning toward a theory where the men threatening and shooting at him did so at TM's bequest. I suspect they are the same two men that threatened TE.
I'm also thinking that SM probably doesn't know where Heather was left.
I think I understand what you're saying ... TM actually did everything (or most everything) and left it to look like SM was involved. He's actually told his lawyer the truth, he wasn't involved (maybe that he's even afraid) ... is that what you're saying?
That's really a pretty interesting scenario. He would actually then be helping LE and with separate lawyers, TM wouldn't know anything about it. And the public can't be told either because TM would find out that way too.
