Unsure if this is considered O/T...but I find this case has many similarities to Michelle's. If you read the affidavit for his arrest warrant (linked below), see if there aren't some things laid out that sound similar to the MY case.
Kari Baker was found dead in April, 2006 (yes, 2006, not 2007). First ruled a suicide. Her family fought that and pushed for her body to be exhumed (JP hadn't requested an autopsy, which pizzed off the investigators), of which her preacher hubby fought. Hmmm? Then her parents filed a civil suit against hubby. Her body was finally exhumed, and tox results show ambien and another sleeping drug (unisom, I believe) in her system. A few marks on her to lead investigators to now believe hubby drugged her and then suffocated her with a pillow.
Hmmm, hubby (again, a preacher - shows a god-fearing man can do such a thing, although friends and family just "can't believe" someone could do such a thing) was in contact with a female in the 3 months prior to Kari's death with phone calls, etc. Kari ended up telling friends and a counselor (!) that they were having marital problems and that she thought Matt was trying to kill her. She also believed he was having an affair.
Oh how I hope Michelle told her friends/family about her marital problems, as well as the therapist she saw. IMO, she certainly did.
And even knowing all that...investigators didn't have enough to arrest Matt Baker until this past week, almost 1 1/2 years later. After tox results were known and the JP changed her death certificate to "undetermined" I believe...and the lead investigating agency said that didn't change their investigation...2 DAYS LATER, BOOM! I absolutely love it. Her hubby had "moved on" with his kids, moved out of the area (back with his parents, so they could help with the children.)
Love how the investigators kept it all quiet and looking like it was just continuing as usual...and then wham. Arrest warrant. A murderer just never knows when they'll get that knock or that phone call that changes their life forever.
I hope and pray this is how Michelle's case plays out. Even if it's 1 1/2 years later, that they get the monster that beat Michelle to death. There's hope y'all, don't give up. Cases like this are all over the U.S.
