I'm not playing Devil's Advocate just to get to wear the costume with the pointy tale and pitchfork. But don't completely pull any name that starts with a B out of contention.
We have the costume if you want to borrow it. :devil:
Go back and you'll see that I've always been a defender of BB. But I believe the pendulum is now swinging too hard the other way.
:smiliescale:
Yes, there are some emotional factors and reading body language, etc. coming into play.
Self-certified body language expert here :blushing: BB covers his lips with his fingertips when speaking. He keeps his arms folded across his chest in the hopes of containing all of the information he knows but cannot reveal. In a short interview just after arriving home, he [obviously] forces a sniffle or two. BLE, Lillian Glass, often reminds us that the body naturally reveals the lies an individual wishes to keep secret. I've played every interview in real time and in painstakingly slow motion. You can capture the body's miniscule reveals of avoiding the truth, or lying, while viewing vids in slo-mo. Another poster has already pointed out that RB shakes his head "no" while stating the opposite "yes". RBs duping delight in the loss of Missy's life is painful to witness.
BUT they (esp.) BB was trying REALLY hard to make sure his alibi was logged and published. Like, abnormally hard. Hey, look there at them there Miss plates. That's the car I came in...Yep. I was in M-I-s-s-I-s-s-I-p-p -I Esp after months of not pinning where he was at and what he was doing. I will grant you, I personally don't think he needed to be in MS to defect attention off of himself. He could have just as well been in bed or at the office. But I could see him/them thinking that would help him/them. Therefore the "overacting". Yes, it's more of a sleuthing tool generally reserved for a parent and a child, but I will admit to having used it a couple times to figure out who did what.
This husband needed to be in their bed, at home, with his children, when he received the "phone call from a couple of Missy's campers" to be without or above suspicion yet that still would not eliminate the awareness of a known or unknown hit.
AND. They were having some serious marital problems (SIL said on MSM MB was having an affair 1.5 years ago) and MPD said there were extramarital intimacies .5 years ago. "Oh, normal married stuff" Really. So you're having 1 affair with a different person every .75 years (9 months) and you think your marriage is okay and normal? No. You probably did not make a vow in front of all your family and friends to try keep the number of affairs down to a minimum. And let's throw on some financial troubles to boot. This marriage was in trouble (and that's before you start talking about what their friends and neighbors said about it.) Divorce is often volatile. It has and can result in ugly, even violent tearing.
I shall not comment on the affairs for that possibly besmirches the character of the victim. This monetary struggle is troublesome. Was the cash flow a struggle within the household? Missy was hopping with her business. She self-promoted herself, the product Thrive and CG. Her long time friends saw the difference it made in her life as far as being physically fit and energized.
I totally believe in mid-life crisis. It happens to almost everyone without bias. It happens to men as well as women. There comes a turning point where one sees their past and wants to improve it, sometimes on a grand scale. I don't think MB initially realized that exercise workouts would become an addiction. Yet it seemed to lead her to a better, healthier lifestyle. BB cannot disguise his resentment in the over 20m interview on the front lawn when he tells us that Missy began doing things that "satisfied her".
So lacking a more viable suspect, I can see where some have kept the BB/RB theory alive. Almost along the "prettiest girl in Siberia" so-to-speak.
:shame: :shame:
And I have to agree, after listening to him/them speak for a while, I was pretty positive Midlothian had lost a champion for health advocacy and fitness. I was thoroughly unconvinced a man had just lost the love of his life, his other half, to a brutal murder.
Concur and echo this conclusion.
Should it be the only (or even main theory?). Hmm. Top 3 or 4 in my book based on how little information we've received to work with.
Statistically speaking, murder is always selfish. Murder, in no particular order, is committed out of anger, for the love of money, including greed, for revenge or due to domestic problems. The stats speak for themselves.

I wish to augment this reply by one more personal, yet reasonable, observation regarding "dry cleaners gate". If my dog killed a beloved pet, my dog would be put down. My dog would be euthanized because he has become a killer. I cannot imagine seeing my beloved pet of 13yrs being slung around by the jaws of the Mastiff until its death.
