I kinda hope he offs himself and here is why: how are they going to prove he murdered her? He will get the best criminal defense attorney ( the publicity for the attorney will be worth not getting compensated)- and the defense will be this: we had an argument but when I left her there she was fine. Somebody else came along and killed her- how are they going to prove he did it? She was out in the elements so long there is probably no DNA that would be usable.
We don't know what type of forensic evidence they have but I do think it is a good case for a jury. You can explain means, motive, and opportunity.
Two young people with a documented history of DV travel to Bridger-Teton in a van. The van is spotted numerous times in Spread Creek between 8/26-8/30 - with not just eyewitness testimony, but video that can be authenticated. One person returns to Florida in the van, the other person is found dead in the spot they were last seen. Who done it?
I would not want to defend those facts to a jury even without knowing the forensic details. Unless you find something like significant DNA from a registered sex offender all over the crime scene, I think the question will be more was this premeditated murder one by BL or are there sufficient mitigating factors that would support a lower charge.
