Tossing thoughts out there:
- Could there have been "something" between Audrey and the brother-in-law?
- Maybe the phrase about 'he'll never get this ring back from me' was said in haste and anger. If my husband left me for a young thing, I'd probably say something like 'That young thing will never ride in MY Corvette and she'll never live in MY house'. You know, these quick angry things that we tend to blurt out.
- Do we know for certain that Audrey's Camaro was dusted for prints?
- Wondering if the young boy neighbour was polygraphed? Is he a POI? How often was Audrey in personal contact with that neighbour/family?
- Who would set up the handyman and why?
Catching those thoughts, Stone.
We're on the same page (no pun intended) about wondering how it is that the BIL effectively served as Gleave family spokesperson (when the former husband emphasized as he did that Audrey had
no relatives other than himself, yet made no effort that we know of, beyond a sound-bite interview in MSM to be present for her memorial or sorting through the home). :fish: Suggests there might be some more than meets the eye there. Oh yeah, and there's the issue of Audrey communicating the premonition (if that's what it was) to BIL who shared it with Jon Wells. :waitasec:
Quick-angry-blurt is what I would agree the nickname and any remarks Audrey made about ring or other possessions were. She was the one left behind in the marriage. (Disclosure: my own marriage ended when I was 28, as a result of then-husband's philandering. Angry nicknames were a 'safe' way to dial the situation
and him down to size, and to sound a kind of warning to those who would later conversationally reopen old wounds.) I wonder if there was a discrepant desire for children (she wanted, he didn't) in each of the unions, as I recall that Mr. G and the new wife did not have children (cf Wells) after relocating north. Former MIL's weighing in with Wells, with the comment about Audrey's intellect having negatively impacted on the marriage, is curious, too.:twocents:
It wouldn't be a surprise if Audrey had trouble containing resentment at being expected to stay as long as she lived in the home designed by her ex-husband. Further to that - and it
isn't something we're going to be able to find out in this forum - if the staying in the marital home amounted to some kind of "chastity clause" (i.e., discouraging her remarriage or even dating with the prospect of her having to sell, surrender proceeds, and relocate), at the least we can understand bitter remarks, and at the most... a frightening premonition about the fate of a woman known to be living alone in a rural setting. If Audrey felt there was surveillance of her private life.... *lets that one hang*
Given that her body was found in the garage and the car was removed by LE, I would hope to goodness that the car would have been all but completely disassembled if necessary in a search for evidence. So, while we don't have absolutely verified knowledge of dusting for fingerprints, can we not reasonably assume it would be part of the process?
Still would like to know what did become of the Camaro.
Young male neighbour should be a POI if for nothing else than that he would fit the profile of "young and close." He seems to be a presence on the memorial Facebook page. Again, can't verify through any formal channels as to his having been checked out by LE (darnit:banghead
. There does seem to be some disconnect between each member of that household about the frequency and depth of interaction with Audrey. I continue to think geographical proximity played a part in the sending of Amazing Grace.:twocents:
As for the setup of PK by the perp... We've covered the gamut here, I'd say :moo:. A jealous potential beneficiary of Audrey's? A depraved opportunist (familiar with area and/or Audrey's personal details) who figured on getaway/obfuscation time while 'obvious' suspects were fingered and investigated? Audrey herself, heaven forbid? Someone from the past with a score to settle, be it professional, academic, or shadier? Just about any of those comes with a supporting argument. Take innocuous matters such as cake deliveries, contradictory messages about illness and cabin fever, three days off the radar by a private person, a :fish: strangely presented LW&T made on her 70th birthday and not updated, and the quick handling of post-mortem affairs.... I see someone who either had a serious hate on for the handyman, or saw him as a means to some end.:twocents:
Okay, throwing the thoughts onward to any willing catchers :wink:
