Graphic post :


Wonder if they tore up the plumbing in his house to check for blood/bodily fluids, and checked the septic tank ?
Also am curious if she had help, and there will be more arrests ....
Imo.

I agree, it is not that easy to dismember a body, both in terms of strength, and in terms of mental ability and power. Plus the huge amounts of blood it leaves. One must be pretty cold blooded to dismember a loved one and do that knowingly hurting a daughter too. Appalling.

I read a couple of short articles.

Bullet holes in his book bag and in his laptop?

I'll bet they have the bullets and can match to the bullet (presumably) in his body.

So sad for him. His wife must have just been full of rage with the affair and divorce. No excuse whatsoever for murder.

Now she gets to spend the rest of her life behind bars.

Do you think the accused had help moving the body?

I looked at the 2 ponds that are on 4200 Gainey Rd and neither is that close to being able to drag a couple of feet from a vehicle.

there is a barbed wire fence in front of one and the other you have to drag thru the woods.

Dismembering and disposing of the limbs and the body would be a very physical activity that not every person could do.

What say you? Did she have any help?

Typically, I would think it to be difficult for a woman to dismember a body. But, this woman was a nurse, so she would be more aware of how to process a body more than someone with no or little anatomical knowledge. I think it made the body easier to dispose of because the "pieces" weighed less and were more easily moved and less obvious than a tall man, was also done to delay/conceal identification and additionally shows her mental state of rage.

She's far from the first to do it, and to do it alone.

Tammy Williams managed it just fine.

She was 5'5". She's still on the Most Wanted list. She also worked in the medical field.

MOO

Very good point!
