ok I'm not saying that JP killed her over religion, but I think it played a factor in it. JP was a controlling nutcase IMO. Religion can be used by an oppressed spouse as an outlet or something to lean on. Then there is the kids, if JP felt SP was spending too much time with church and she was teaching the kids the same thing then I think he probably didnt approve.
Then there is daddy telling him that Mormons are wrong and sending him literature. Maybe daddy was telling him to be a man. Take control, stop the kids from being brainwashed in her beliefs. SP is at church too much, talking to counselors too much.
Then there is the money issue. JP IMO felt maybe his manhood and control was taken away since SP was the main breadwinner. It may have hurt his pride. Most control freaks stay in competition with their wives. It's like a game to them.
Next, SP wanted to leave JP and that was the last straw! Maybe he discovered something as proof she was trying to leave or wanted to leave. He snapped and went nuts.
burbqueen,
I think we are agreeing more than we actually realize. Lol. I agree with a lot of what you say. I really think he discovered something he wasn't intended to discover.
I think where our opinions differ is that I believe he found out days or weeks before her "disappearance". I believe he mulled over and over the anger, the betrayal, and what he was going to do about it. Maybe he even sought advice from dear old dad. I think he premeditated the whole thing but things didn't exactly go according to plan. I think it was premeditated based on his lack of ability to think on his feet. His alibi, IMO, is proof of his inability to think on his feet.
Also, I keep coming back to how Susan apparently told friends and family that things have been recently improving in their marriage. Could it be that he found something out, kept it to himself, and overdid the "good husband" bit to make her believe he was truly trying to make an effort, all the while planning her demise?
