Yes and no and don't really know. My multiple personalities keep arguing with one another. I do beleive that all of us (the personalities) will be in counseling when this is said and done with.
If money was the motive for the murder, this had been planned for at least three months (considering the insurance change/addition).
If he was going to use the business trip as a motive, he would be quite foolish to tell friends at the funeral that he was gone to a business meeting if indeed there was not one in the first place. I would think that he would want someone to see his smiling face the next day in order to establish his whereabouts and make LE prove that he had the opportunity to commit the crime. I would also think that it would have been an early morning meeting to narrow down the time line.
His statements could have been taken the wrong way by RF and misrepresented in the media. It is possible that he was in the area cold calling on customers or checking on things for current customers. This would seem less likely to me if he had planned the murder so far in advance.
I still think he would want to create a timeline for himself if indeed he is the perp. It would be interesting to find out how Chart one handles travel with salesmen. Most companies arrange travel for scheduled meetings, others do so by expense reports and the salesmen handle their own arrangements.
I guess I would lean towards yes to the business meeting. It would narrow the window of opportunity if he checked in late or made a late night phone call then had an early business meeting rather than no scheduled agenda.
