I am in financial trouble. I will kill Suzanne and my money problems will go away. I’ll throw her bike down a hill and make it look like an abductor or a lion took off with my 49 year old wife. No one will ever guess it was me. The police won’t be bothered to look into my financial situation. They will be too busy tracking down the lion. I will be a free, happy man.
Do we really think this is how it went down?
What if the Morphews were in financial trouble but only BM knew?
Perhaps their finances were already stressed by the move from IN to CO and the dfficulty of getting established as a new small business in CO. Then came corona virus and personal stress and financial stress on steroids.
Perhaps in their Christianity, the husband dominated and mostly they had been comfortable with that arrangement and the marriage was more positive than many marriages, lasting 20plus years, two fine daughters, nice homes, and material success. So there was stress from finances (including college costs), the virus, a major midlife relocation, and SM's continuing health problems and attendant fragility, physical limitions, and care. BM by nature is not that empathetic and when things worked for the couple SM's empathy carried most of their mutual load and this worked, the strong man and the woman who loved and catered to him and mothered the girls. But BM was lacking in care giving skills.
Perhaps there was a melt down about revelations to SM about their finances and all the situations cascaded into a head. What happened was over in an instant. SM suddenly moved towards BM and then she was on the floor with her neck bent at a right angle. No true blame or attack, rather momentary and unclear event turned horrendous.
BM got very stupid and has been trapped in that stupid loop ever since. He should have called 911. The can-do BM devised a cover up that turned multi-faceted, Byzantine, and obvious. BM has contined to double down and cascade to near ludicrous but he hid or disposed of the body so never to be found. He is also angry at SM for initiating the death event and is certain that SM would not blame him for what occurred. But BM is on legal and public fly paper and still wants to protect his daughters, which to his nature is largely material. BM is just plain angry and ever desperate. Wonder how much BM has leveled with his daughters?
I am not saying that this scenario is the most likely but is a scenario that has not been discussed.
