How sad. As soon as I read the circumstances of them going missing, I just knew it would end badly. I feel for their family.
I somehow doubt this guy pulled this off by himself. I think the sheriff ought to look a little harder for an accomplice.
Those are my thoughts also, 28 years old and never been in trouble with the law before and now this, yes I think they should look a little closer and they may very well be. These things take time, plea bargains and what have you to bring out the whole story.
An accomplice of the female type I would bet. You only do stuff like this for someone you think you love. And who you would love more than a ‘64 Mustang.
