It angers me that some of the news articles are talking about the affair as fact, and I think we should be careful not to do the same since he is no longer here to defend himself. According to CM’s wife, he made that up to give motive as to why CP would testify against him. I personally do not believe there was an affair. CP was still living with his wife and they had a rental property they let JH use to get away from CM. Another article said he put PP and ED together to make it look like they were having an affair as well.

“Calvin Phillips also became agitated when asked if he was having an affair with Harmon.
"What they're going to say to you, Calvin, is that you had an extramarital affair with this woman, and this provides the motive to set him (Martin) up,” the investigator said.
“The problem is, how do you create something? You've got to have the resources to build what you're talking about,” Calvin Phillips said“
‘"There are questions if you were having an affair with Cal Phillips,” Finley asked Harmon.
"No. My ex-husband has been trying to say that since I left him,” Harmon said.”
From the daily mail article posted above:
“Steve Durham told DailyMail.com he is sure police have finally got the right man in the triple murder.
'I am convinced that Kit Martin killed them. No-one else had any reason to,' Durham, 64, said.
'I believe he shot Cal and then shot Ed and Pam and put them in the car. He tried to burn the house down and if that had happened it would have been a big collapse and they probably would never have found Cal's body in the basement.
'He made it look like Ed and Pam were having an affair and that Cal had killed them, then burned his house down and gone on the run — and they would never have found him.'
But the fire in the two-story brick house on Pembroke's Main Street, failed to burn because all the windows were shut and there was not enough oxygen for the flames to take.”
