Press conference over.
The spokesman said something at the beginning that he might end up regretting. He ventured an opinion that it was a "rage" killing and "not premeditated". His words.
I don't think he should have said that.
Reihl said on Saturday night, police brought Christopher Murray in for questioning. State Police Trooper David Lang administered a lie detector test to Mr. Murray, which police say he failed...
"Reality was he became a suspect early on and remained a suspect until he confessed," Reihl said...
Police say they recovered video of an encounter between Connie and Christopher on Willets Road soon after. The video shows Christopher pulling his car up to Connie where she was walking. In the video, Connie sticks her head into the car, says something, and walks away. Christopher then drives away.
Oh exactly. Very weak and I don't believe it. He said it for his family IMO. He followed in his car...just wow.The only evidence that he "blacked out" was his word that he did so. Fairly weak, imo.
Police say Christopher Murray continued to follow her and got out of his vehicle on Holme Avenue around 9:30 p.m. The husband and wife then went to a bench area at the park where another argument ensued...
"She went up there voluntarily to talk to him about whatever was going on and things went bad," Riehl said.
Christopher Murray allegedly strangled his wife and then left her body at the bench area near the Crispin Rec Center. Investigators say Murray then contacted police around 2 a.m. and reported that his wife was missing.
Connie Murray's headphones and cellphone were recovered in a nearby sewer...
Murray was denied bail, and no attorney is listed for him in court papers. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 27.
“His wife was missing but he contacted nobody, no friends, no family, to find out if she was with them,” Riehl said. “Instead, he immediately went to hospitals, and went to the police station. It seemed almost a show.”
Well, to begin with, I shall retract my previous condolences toward him.Aaaand charged. He confessed. Presser later today....
Two kids left behind.

Get ready for the insanity/diminished-capacity defense. I'm sure his lawyers are already working on it this morning.
How, exactly, does one "black out" but at the same time remember committing the crime?
What a convenient excuse.
MOO
