Deceased/Not Found PA - Elizabeth “Beth” Capaldi, 55, last seen by husband, phone & car left behind, Sellersville, Bucks Co, 10 Oct 2022

[Jen Walters]

A few of her personal belongings, including her wallet, were missing from her home, however most of her other belongings, including her cell phone, her keys to the house and to the car and the car itself were left behind, said the district attorney.​

"We do have some leads that we're working on. We're still hopeful that we can find Ms. Capaldi alive, but we're prepared for any eventuality," said Weintraub.​

Disappearance Of Bucks County Woman Under Investigation: D.A.

The fact that she didn’t take her cell phone or her keys makes me think she maybe went to take a quick walk around the block or something and either met with foul play or planned to disappear. Also she looks depressed in her pictures.

Her husband has been arrested and led police to her body parts dumped near his place of employment.

Imagine what it must be like to spend years married to someone like that. Or have such a parent. Would you eventually realize deep down they feel no connections to others?
I wonder if she was about to leave the marriage. Maybe she was ready to leave, she had a good reason to, and he didn't want it revealed? Speculation/my opinion only.

Really good questions. I think eventually you realize it. And I wouldn't at all be surprised to learn she had had enough, and was ready to move on. And these guys can't have that, oh no.

I found the things being said about Beth in the public FB groups set up for her to be very surprising given she was at least missing and probably a victim of something. It felt very much like a lot of them were coming from one side of the camp and trying to protect someone that wasn't Beth.

ii just noticed this reply but yes! i saw that. It shouldn’t matter whether these things are true or not - i’m guessing not - some ne missing is victim!

Makes my mind think either they suspected or a certain someone always trashed her. gross either way imo

 

[cocomod]

It never surprises me that the perp trashes his victim, but it always surprises me when his family does!

Is he now under arrest or is he still listed as "in custody"?

Is he now under arrest or is he still listed as "in custody"?

He was booked into the Bucks County Correctional facility and has been in custody since the early hours of Friday…around 1:30am iirc. He has remained in custody since that time without any charges, though he was marked as out on judicial something or other for the duration of the search near the UPS cargo depot at PHL, then marked back in at the jail.

It’s not at all clear to me (no expertise in legal matters) whether he is there on some voluntary basis that may have something to do with a plea deal (I.e. specific charges are not being laid until corroboration can be made of whatever statement he has given), but his custody has certainly exceeded 72 hours at this point.

MOO

Surprised no court appearance by now, but I'm guessing LE silence may mean he is cooperating.

Surprised no court appearance by now, but I'm guessing LE silence may mean he is cooperating.

This is my guess as well. Perhaps, since Pennsylvania is a state that still has the death penalty, he has agreed to a plea bargain in order to take that off the table.

I'd been hoping, considering LE's relative silence, that they had known from fairly early on exactly what sort of situation they were dealing with and that it was just a matter of processing evidence and getting all their proverbial ducks in a row, and now it seems clear that probably was the case. It does make me wonder what they found -- evidence of a hastily-cleaned crime scene? bloodstains in a vehicle? a weapon?

Even from the little they have released, the circumstances have pointed in a singular direction from the beginning, and the more certain people pushed the narrative that she had voluntarily left, the more suspicion they directed at themselves. Could they really have believed that everyone (Beth's daughter included) would have bought the narrative that she'd just taken a bunch of cash and disappeared?

It makes me think that her death was due to a sudden, impulsive act of violence, rather than something that was planned out ahead of time.

Agree with your assessment 100%. Snipped it for emphasis on this theory because I think that it is exactly what SC has claimed in his statement, and he’d better hope that the evidence (autopsy, crime scene) is consistent with his statement because this prosecutor does not mess around.

MOO

Waiting impatiently for this week's news conference

Elizabeth Capaldi’s husband reportedly led police to what are believed to be her remains

The disturbing story surrounding the October disappearance of 55-year-old Elizabeth Capaldi took a new turn over the weekend, when her husband, Stephen Capaldi, was taken into custody.

buckscountyherald.com

On Monday, Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub’s office said, “Unfortunately, we are legally prohibited from releasing anything about this case at the moment, but we hope to address any questions at a news conference later this week.”

Disgusting, and as one who was attacked at the beginning on FB for even thinking it could be her husband, some 'friends' were/are in Denial, for their own reasons...'He's a great guy' comment meant nothing to me. Plenty of people hide their true self from others, and who knows what could possibly have led to such a horrid crime. What he did indicates much rage/hate. We may neve know Why. I just hope she didn't suffer long.

Yes.

 

[Spiritecho]

We are all waiting for the press conf. If they arrested the husband and he led them to remains, we all know it's her. I'm sure one of the delays is a coroner or similar examining the remains and waiting on DNA results, which doesn't happen instantly or even overnight. MOO

So this idiot who brings a stain upon us with the name Steve is being held in police custody but hasn't been charged with anything yet. I?n't there a limit as to how long they can hold him without charging him? I want to say 48 or 72 hours, but either way, we have to be approaching that deadline.

IMO, if SC was the inmate seen with LE recovering evidence, I'd say he is most likely cooperating and therefore waived the 72-hour rule:

“Unless an information or indictment is filed or the affected person consents in writing or on the record in open court, an accused shall not be detained in jail or subjected to conditions of release for more than 72 hours after the defendant’s detention in jail or release on conditions, whichever occurs first.

For those in custody, official charges against you must be filed within 48 hours, not counting the day of your arrest, weekends, or holidays.

Probably just tired of her, as she may have been of him. A seemingly "voluntary disappearance" is cheaper than divorce, if you can pull it off.

Scary !
I've forgotten the author, but there's a book (I think !) regarding the 'banality of evil'.
People can commit crimes out of sheer laziness or boredom with the other person.
And the perp can seem ordinary or even friendly to others.
Chilling.
Waiting impatiently for an update .
M00.

If that was his motive then it had nothing to do with boredom and everything to do with $$$$ (the root of some evil... If you value money over people.)

[Katrinepa]

Curious as to why there has been no confirmation on his arrest/charges thus far, and wonder if there may be more details that may surprise us all. I hope it's simple, cut and dry, and that they will eventually have enough gathered to assure a prosecutable case. I hope her Remains had enough evidence, as her body was in the elements for 2 months, and in an area with animals.

CONFIRMED

Press conference will be held live tomorrow at 3:00 pm on most local Philadelphia, PA, channel, and probably Youtube.

Glad we will be getting some news. Wonder if SC is scheduled for court appearance tomorrow a.m.?
