Something that most likely was going on behind closed doors, the reason this shooting happened teh way it did, was that if Diane was telling people she was "tired of carrying Tex", then what was she planning? Divorce? Had she threatened it? Then he puts on a good act. I hate to say it but SS said TEX was his own worst enemy, was naive and possibly dementia...He's delusional, Diane was the naive one, I dont mean to speak ill of her, I liked her after reading about her, butI realy think she thought she was untouchable...never occurred to her she would be harmed....With that much money, I'd be careful with ANYONE, you never know what someone is capable of, case in point....The Tex McIver case....peole never would have expected this
but I think she was talking about leaving him or cutting him off or leaving her estated portion to others mostly
Whatever happneed to that will huh?
WHO IS HIDING that they wrote her codicil or new will?
I dont hear much about this part lately but initally in this case, it was reported that she wanted to leave her half of the ranch to her God son....Tex had something drawn up leaving each other their half....Tex signed his
Diana had NEVER SIGNED HERS
I hope her closest friends and Godson receive her estate and not go to state because she has no family
NO FAMILY...she was a sitting duck, not only rich when tex met her and he knew it but what sealed it, she had NO family, hopefully for him no one to interfere with her assets....had he been allowed to continue with her estate settlement, jeepers, HE REALLY WOULD HAVE WON!!
Turns my stomach to think of the possibilities
Yeah SOMETHING was up IMO
I will go further and in MOO, I believe Tex McIver somewhat planned this. Maybe not minute detail, but I think he was mulling over options in his head, and thought this might work. And when the situation presented itself, he did it.
True Crime enthusiasts have seen all the potential ways, someone tried to get out of a marriage for financial or other reasons by eliminating the spouse:
1) hire a killer - this have been covered numerous times on Forensics Files, 20/20, Dateline etc. It almost never works. Police follow the money/the phones or someone involved caves in and spills the plan
2) spouse goes "missing" - Scott Peterson, Drew Peterson. Single best way to focus police attention on the remaining spouse. Again, it almost never works.
3) "a fall down the staircase" - Michael Peterson (so many Petersons, should be cautionary tale) how he thought he could get away with this twice is a special kind of narcissism and arrogance.
So, killing your wife in your own car, with your best friend driving doesn't seem like such a bad plan. In fact most people would say, "you would have to be stupid to do that" or "no one could plan that", so this would possibly divert attention from the remaining spouse. Well I believe Tex McIver did plan it and he almost got away with it. If he had summoned up the acting ability to play the grieving husband for an appropriate period and been more on the downlow about trying to get the insurance money, not inquiring into Diane's Social Security benefits and not hosting a gaudy auction of all of her possessions, I believe he would have gotten away with it.
