*****As is necessary when making a posting of this nature, please understand that I am only looking at the facts as they have been presented. Any speculation presented is that of my own making and not a regurgitation of someone else’s thoughts. Further, these thoughts are exactly that, my own personal thoughts regarding this case. I have no personal knowledge, connection or insider information regarding this case and have used my experience in Law Enforcement and Forensic Psychology to formulate my theory. I have reviewed all available documentation I considered to be relevant in order to formulate this theory.*****
The “picture perfect family” that SW portrayed in her social media accounts very likely existed to her. She very likely loved her husband dearly, treasured the life and home she had (especially after overcoming such a surmountable bankruptcy) and very obviously loved her children. So, while many are wondering why it seemed they have a perfect life, remember that in the eyes of SW, everything probably appeared to be wonderful.
It's my opinion that CW reached his decision to end his “family life” after having spent a few weeks alone and while SW was away at work. While I obviously do not know for sure, I do not believe it was for him to be with his mistress. I instead conclude that he simply saw the freedom that came with a “family free” life and after all the stress and complications felt during the 2015 bankruptcy proceedings, CW decided his best option would be to terminate their lives rather than divorce and endure those financial constraints.
It is very likely that CW killed his daughters on 8/12/18, prior to SW returning home. This was done by means of strangulation which was confirmed by CW (though he blames SW for the act, but forensic evaluation can determine this definitively). When SW finally returned home at 0200, he likely accosted her then. Again, she was also likely strangled. I was not able to find information that specifically stated her cause of death but would imagine that his story would be accurate as he self-confessed to this portion.
He is then seen on security camera footage backing his truck up to his garage at 5:27am on 8/13/18, approximately three hours after SW returns home. It is at this time when he is in fact loading the three deceased bodies into his pickup to dispose of them. He then proceeds to drive 60 miles to a location he is familiar with through work. He opens two crude oil storage containers and places each daughter into one, then closed them back up. It is VERY UNLIKELY that any useable forensic evidence will be recovered from these oil storage containers. Without going into a long-drawn-out reason why, just think about what happens when we have an oil spill and you’ll start to understand why it’s unlikely. He also dug a rudimentary shallow grave where SW was placed. This low-quality attempt at discarding her body displays his lack of caring if she was discovered. His true intent was to keep the girls hidden. I think there may have been an initial plan to have her body found and the girls never found. Blame her murder on someone else with the girls being listed as missing persons to potentially be found and linked to their mother sometime in the future.
For the next 3 days, CW pretends as if he has no idea what happened to his wife and children. There are so many different potential psychological abnormalities that could have caused this, but I prefer to go with Occam’s Razor. He simply was playing dumb for as long as possible in the hopes of getting away with it for as long as possible. It’s literally as simple as that. Not one reason has been presented by CW or his defense for why he perpetuated this lie, and, in my experience, it is very likely that the defense will shy away from this fact come trial.
As for the further release of information, I think we can expect to find out some more details when he appears on 11/19/18 but don’t expect much. It’s likely that he will enter his plea, possible attempt to renegotiate bail/bond and it will be over.
