Watching John Walsh right now on CNN with Anderson Cooper. Walsh said he watched it with an FBI friend and both said it was classic signs of an abused woman who was intimidated by her male partner into saying she was the one who hit him. Apparently very typical in cases of DV when LE is called. They could see it very clearly in her behavior.
Very sad, they said if he'd been locked up then, she might still be alive.

John Walsh also saying he had a chance to make a deal, if his lawyer had talked to cops and offered to work with them, the boyfriend might have been able to negotiate something. As it stands now, he will get the book thrown at him. The parents may be in trouble, too.
Walsh calling him a coward who beat to death a lovely 90 lb young woman.
Yes, it's very typical behavior. I'm sure the officers did their best, but better training to spot these signs is desperately needed.
