The question being "How can Wes make up all this stuff and be innocent?"
If WH is borderline, he can't help the lying. It is a defense mechanism, and also something people with this problem learn as a very easy means of manipulating others. Not necessarily to be malicious, but because it is all they know. The world is very black and white to them, and if they feel like they are being victimized, the drama show is on full blast. In his jailhouse interview with WAVY, he can't stop talking. When he is asked a question he doesn't want to answer directly, he deflects. He is seeing the evens of those days in his mind like a movie, and his part in them as someone separate from himself. He is really uncomfortable, threatened, scared and drowning in guilt, as I said previously. Unfortunately, I do believe he has lied about key events to make himself look better, and I do believe AJ met him at the hotel, not a gas station. Who can provide him an alibi for that evening? I can't say I think he murdered her though. I really liked the theory upthread about him wanting her to take off with him - if he was feeling like his marriage is over, and no one understands him but her, etc, kidnapping is very possible. I can also see him having an abduction staged so he can rescue her. However, I also believe he is a very unstable individual and is capable of flipping out and doing something he would immediately regret, cover up and try to make right through ridiculous acts of planting evidence and storytelling.
I'd love Vail's input on this! I am not a medical professional so am wary of speculating on this. However, given the manic depressive (bi-polar) diagnosis in the court documents that were linked to yesterday, I'm wondering whether a manic episode could contribute to some of the odd behaviour/interview inconsistencies displayed by WH.
I don't personally see him as manic, he has been pretty consistent so far, but I also don't know him. If he really was bi-polar, he would have a very hard time functioning without drugs of some kind and his family would be able to confirm the pattern. There are several other things that could be going on with him that contribute to his odd behaviour, certainly.
While I am on the topic of mindsets, if there is anyone who still thinks he is a narcissist, consider the fact that he mowed peoples lawns. A narcissist would never, ever stoop to doing yard work. They are totally above that. If WH was a narcissist or psychopath, he would have manipulated JH into supporting him while he did the bare minimum. What I see is a hard working guy with a lot of baggage and questionable friends.
