How can you arrest someone for murder when you are not sure there has been a murder. 100% confused here.

As for Wolfe, he was taken into custody at the Blue Star Donuts at SW12/Morrison #KOIN6News


ETA: That would be here:

How horrible. What an evil, evil man. Seemingly over $900 a month he murdered his own flesh & blood & an ex lover. WTH. Well, he’s certainly carved out a nice future for himself. Smh, wth ,ages men think they’ll get away with this type of crime? We all know the #1 suspect when a woman/child go missing is the “man”.

If you watch toward the end of the press conference I believe he answers (or tries to) that question. Though I am sure there is a better explanation that can be made by someone else.

Horibble. Countless lives ruined, including his own. Why?
Oh, because he didn’t want to support his son, I guess.

I’m guessing the evidence they’ve collected thus far is what’s pointing them towards potential homicides even though they aren’t willing to say that KF & BF are deceased.

Glad he is caught!

I have about 2 minutes to go on the PC and I think I heard that explanation, but I'm still confused.

It happens a lot.
Obviously they found something that convinced them both are deceased, by the hands of a Wolfe.

I've never heard it stated like he stated it. Maybe this guy is new at his job.

Right? unbelievable! I feel for his grown children too. Billy is their brother. I am so angry right now, I better step away.

 

[Gardenista]

IMO they’ve found of lot of evidence of murder, a crime scene and blood
The same with Patrick Frazee being charged with 1st degree murder of Kelsey Berreth.
JMO

No doubt, the same with many, many cases here. But they've never, ever said it like LE did on this case.

So my guess is he made it to Hillsboro and hopped the MAX and rode it to downtown to blend in.
Ironically, he wasn’t far from the jail maybe 2 blocks. That’s pretty bold.

Like I say, probably someone else will make a better explanation. I expect one of the news stations will ask one of their lawyer/legal experts the question at some point.
