ITA - I think after he did the deed and reality struck him HARD, he cried about it first and then went into panic, sloppy-cover up mode.
IMO At that point, I could see him reaching out to a couple of buds in a franctic state and in their tested loyalty to him, feeling sorry for him, they reacted by helping not only dispose of her body (because let’s say one bud has a military background and experience with the lay of the land) but also attempt to tighten an alibi (because let’s say the other bud is good with PR and pushing a narrative). Everyone had a role to follow through on at that point.
