While we wait for information, Ive been looking again at MM‘s FB and reading old threads. To be clear, nothing I am about to write is official information, stated from a allowed source, or anything other than my comfusion and opinion at work. No, you will not have read this in any approved article. It’s just me musing on a rainy day.
I know sources have told us that AM and MM were experiencing a ‘rough patch’ and were living apart. But Im beginning to wonder if that ‘living apart’ is not a bit deceptive. On her FB page, MM states, ‘moved to Edisto’ on July12, 2020. I wonder if that could be when they bought the beach house? it is not unusual for a wife to live ’in season’ at a vacation home, especially when its as close as Edisto to Moselle…and the working husband joins her on weekends. With the lawsuit looming, and perhaps the atmosphere in Hampton a bit hostile at times, Edisto would have been a refuge for the who;e famoly…from all that trouble.
On her FB, in Oct…she posts an affectionate photo of the two of them together, his arms around her, on a boat. She makes it her profile picture, no less! Other family photos and outings continue until her death. These suggest to me, that after her season at Edisto, she was back at the family home.
It was June when she was murdered, in season again at Edisto…so maybe ‘living apart’ did not indicate a full separation.
To my knowledge, there has been no definitive confirmation that she had hired a divorce Attorney, nor has one been named.
Then there is the report that AM stayed with her side of the family after the murders. A bit unusual, if their daughter/sister was so unhappy that she was divorcing him. Also unusual when he has extended family of his own in the area.
I also listened again to the interview with the brothers. They certainly gave the impression that everything was fine…MM was the ‘rock of that family.’ Quite a risk for them and their brother if others could have stepped forward and said..”No, she was divorcing him.’ Why say anything at all?
Why did she come to Moselle that night? AM sounded ‘fishy’ to her, but she came. She was reported to be ‘close’ to her Father-in-law…so surely someone else in the family would have told her the hospital for a deathbed visit. And if she did arrive around 6pm…and she did die at 9:30pm…she did not just show up…she stayed. Maybe her car was running because she drove down to the kennels to pick up PM because of the rain.…and just popped out to check on the dog.
Im not suggesting there wasn’t some difficulty between them. But we are working with so much second hand ‘source’ information. I really don’t put much trust in media these days. It will be very interesting when the trial comes, and we are told a theory based on actual evidence. These musings are my opinions only…and only my opinions at the moment, on a rainy day. Lol
