Just jumping off your post with an idea I've had - if BM killed SM at home, would he leave her there while being gone/working/running errands? He would have to be reassured that daughters wouldn't be home early from camping trip and/or that daughters or neighbor or friend may be trying to contact SM but she is not answering her phone calls and/or text messages and that none of those people may not show up in person to check on SM? IMO, that would he taking a huge risk to leave her home alone after he incapacitated/killed her??
I agree with you. I had all those thoughts. Thanks for going to that dark place with me.
When I try to put myself in BM's shoes, I imagine that his immediate compulsion, after murdering her, was to hide her. Maybe wrapped her up in a tarp, tied it up. Maybe put her in a cooler or tote, and stowed her in the garage, out of sight.
If the virtual wedding was Saturday (?) , Suzanne may have been missed by her friend, and her girls too, if they also had planned to watch the wedding. I think the girls may have tried to call her Saturday and then called BM, and he made some excuse. The girls bought it and they would pass it on to the friend I she had reached out to them. He would know when they were going to head home. They wouldn't sneak up on him.
I feel that he was certain that the girls were far away, hours away, and he didn't have to worry about them getting home. Any neighbor or friend that happened by would not be going inside if he didn't invite them in.
I don't think he would have murdered Suzanne when he did, if he thought that the girls' could show up before he took her away, that would have given him a reason to control his temper. The fact that he had that open window of time alone with her, took the brakes off any restraint that would have prevented his evil act.
I would love to know when that 3 1/2 hour window was, when BM was unaccounted for (I assume). But I think it was dark.
Moo of course.
