I think that, too. What were they thinking? Did they really think their life would get better after committing their unspeakable act? Did they really think they’d get away with it? And then after they get arrested, when they’re sitting alone in their jail cell, what do they think? “Oh man, I guess I got this one wrong. Whatever happens, I’m never going to admit it. What do I have to lose?”
.

Even OJ's life didn't turn out very well.

Karma, it's a beautiful thing.

C'mon now. The emotional discussion was her buckling at the knees knowing her daughters were dead and she was next.

Could be. Hadn’t thought of that. That’s so creepy.

 

[margarita25]

But he’d know they were going to perform an autopsy. Would he really lie about COD?

This is a great question and one I’ve been thinking about. And still thinking about.

Exactly! So why do they think their lives will improve after they murder?

So he follows right behind her, as she walks towards the girl's, and he comes up close enough to wrap a rope/wire around her neck, from behind. He could bring her down, quickly, quitely and brutally, in no time at all.

Or he may have used the Lateral Vascular Neck Restraint which is what police officers use. You use your arm from behind to cut off all bloodflow in the neck to the brain. Literally renders them unconscious in 3-5 seconds. He had the arms to do it. Here is a video.

People often use ignore for those who are just here to mess around and play narcissistic games, aka a troll who is just trying to get a rise out of people, not people who provide thoughtful, reasonable, plausible and intelligent commentary, no matter which angle they're exploring.

For example, some like to explore all the possible scenarios, based on actual evidence presented so far, and do so within the bounds of reason. Then there are those who just post nonsense like "THOSE EYES" and conclude from that that SW killed her children, and go on to present theories out of thin air for which there is no evidence on the table, like "sleepwalking". Those people you can't really take seriously and people might consider that they add nothing of value to the discussion, hence the ignore button.

Well said. And anyone who would seriously argue he put his children in the oil out of love to keep them warm and keep them close to him is obviously not here for a reasonable and thoughtful discussion.

It's healthy to hear both sides and there's been some great conversation to explore all possibilities. No use arguing with someone who is completely unreasonable and won't listen to facts.

Because they blame all the things wrong in their lives on the wife and family, when it is they who are the problem.

The warrantless arrest affidavit is very concise in relation to this horrific crime, and I agree it does not contain every detail that's been cited in court, in press conferences, news broadcasts, and/or published by MSN citing LE close to the investigation.

There are several reports that CW statements were inconsistent - investigators interviewing CW on site say he told them one account of when he last talked to SW, and told a different account at the police station. We know reporters tweeted CW arriving at police station around the noon hour on Weds, and that LE announced he was arrested shortly after midnight. These details also not detailed in the arrest affidavit but no reason to believe they're untrue. I certainly don't think CW was reading magazines in the Police lobby for 12 hours even though the details of his interrogation not released in arrest affidavit. We also know that LE located bed sheet matching bed linen pattern found at the residence, and also located alleged burial site of SW prior to CW confession (citing drone in use). LE also cite they confirmed CW alleged affair with co-worker before CW finally confessed (having previously denied allegation). Bottom line is much obviously went down during those hours at police station that we don't have knowledge of, and I never expected the affidavit to be the complete and final word. MOO

BBM. Thank you for those details. I had not heard how long he had been at the police station. I am not surprised to hear the interrogation lasted that long. In fact, it kind of seems they stopped the process before he made a full confession, so I wondered if he requested a lawyer, and they stopped the interview and arrested him with what they had. It will be interesting to find out.

My hubby would never allow me to visit my family for 6 weeks away from him. I think they were already separated but still living under the same roof.

Never in a million years would I leave my hubby for 6 weeks. I think they were separated in CW’s mind, but Shanann still believed in her dream. If she tried hard enough, if she did all the right things, everything would work out, and they’d live happily ever after.

 

[Layla123]

Which brings us back to they’re stupid!

A couple of minutes of suffering feels like an eternity to the one feeling it.

Exactly. I'm scared of some roller coasters. One gives me a panic attack (Space Mountain) because it's in the dark and goes in tight circles and I can't tell when it's going to end.

I have nevertheless forced myself to go on it a few times despite the fear, trying to overcome it. I won't anymore.

It's only 3 minutes long. But feeling panic ron that time makes it feel like three hours. It's not endurable. It feels like torture.

Karma, it's a beautiful thing.

I really hope that happens to casey anthony.

 

[Jennifer17]

Or completely self obsessed.

 

[gitana1]

Thads my point. There is always truth in the lies. His description of the one child sprawled out blue? That's a child who has been strangled to death I think.

 

[SaguaroSpirit]

I really hope that happens to casey anthony.

Sometimes karma is instant, sometimes it takes years, and sometimes it comes to pass in the afterlife.

Before he got caught, he thought he was going to get away with the murders.

And he very well may have if NU hadn't interrupted his plan. If he had the chance to wrap up loose ends, it those little girls may have never been detected in that crude. Often the crude is pumped from the top and they do not pump the stuff at the bottom that is harder to pump. The hoses are six inches or less in diameter so the bodies would not have been picked up. The crude already has an odor that would mask the bodies. After the bodies decomposed and the bones fell apart, someone cleaning the tanks might not have noticed because the crude covering them would make the bones look like crude covered sticks. Even if there were cameras, and he did not disable them, he could have carried the girls his tool box looking like he was working on something. I came very, very close to getting away with this.

Am I the only person who would totally go on a trip without my husband for weeks? I've done it for photography reasons.... week, week and a half... I'd go for even longer. I mean, don't get me wrong, I miss him and all. But, he doesn't like going on my trips for wildlife photography. It isn't his "thing".

 

[katydid23]

Was there maybe more to his plan? Like he thought he could get home early and get rid of some of her stuff?

I think so . He never thought the police would be coming through his door before he even had his lunch break.

He called and left messages, and texts. So he planned to come back, maybe leave early from work, telling bosses he was worried about his pregnant wife? He would unlock door, get rid of the things she might take, call around to her friends, asking if they heard from her, and then he'd call in a MISSING report.

Thank Goodness she had a loyal friend looking out for her and her precious girls.

 

[gitana1]

Please report the post. I wish everyone would just put the JA on ignore so we could have intelligent discussion without having to read a bunch of victim blaming/character assassination comments.

Exactly. We can even debate the allegations rationally. But without silliness that is unnecessarily cruel.
