From the previous (closed) thread.
My opinion. NK is a calculating, money-conscious person anyhow. She probably was in love with CW, but now another side of hers shows.
I still feel that NK somehow suited CW more and that his marriage with SW was going downhill before NK. He was not interested in Thrive or sales. Ironically, the kids were probably the thing keeping this marriage together, so he decided to have one more , at the time, when emotionally, he was on a divergent course from SW.
It is a wrong decision per se, but in this situation, it proved to be deadly.
Look at it from NK's standpoint. She comes across as a money-conscious person. She is more educated than CW. She probably could make more out of CW, professionally, make him take some classes to advance. (In contrast to others, I would guess that CW's academic IQ was high enough, and he was technically bright.)
And he is good-looking, and he makes her happy. And her friends are getting married.
Divorcing a family with two kids and debts is difficult, but divorcing a family with the third one on the way would be financially crippling. And NK wants own kids, meaning, more expenses.
This is what it in essence came up to. The real barrier to CW's happiness - and he was obsessed with NK, as I can see now, like 8 years ago he was obsessed with SW - was pregnant SW. I don't know under what exact circumstances he killed her, but it seems to me that he accumulated hatred to her, and it was enough.
The same question I always ask myself, why kill the kids, I still don't understand, but either it had to do with the fact that NK was not prepared to be a stepmom, or he simply thought that it was easier to explain the disappearance of three people? Or perhaps killing three would have gotten rid of more problems, in his mind?
It is ugly as ugly can be.
Legally, NK is not guilty. Even if the affair was the catalyst, CW was an adult man, and these were his kids, it was his family. It was his decision, and these were his hands on their throats.
However, I think that morally, it is wrong for NK to profit from any book.
(That she is not going to be true is obvious from the article. Everything about that article is untrue).
It was wrong for Amber Frey to benefit, either, but at least Amber Frey was crucial in solving the SP's case. She was the critical witness. Amber taped their conversations. She did everything to help.
Here, we have a person who prolonged the investigation by deleting the messages.
In light of this, is there a law prohibiting the person who advised CW to pawn his "disappeared" wife's ring to profit from a book?
