In any homicide the spouse has to be the lead suspect—without strong evidence to the contrary.
Her claims that there were threatening calls to him—when she was already separated from him—is a waving red flag.
Until she is conclusively cleared she remains my main suspect—murder for hire.
Mine too.
It was definitely a murder for hire.
But since the perp is not in the jug, I’d say likely not the wife.
FWIW. :-)
I’m sure they’re digging around in her financials, phone and internet records. But please remember, she doesn’t have to prove her innocence. They have to prove her guilt.
So far, they don’t have squat.
If the deny, defend, depose on the bullet casings is a red herring, it’s an extremely smart one because it shows serious research and depth of knowledge of the victim’s area of expertise.
The wife doesn’t seem that smart and she can’t afford a hitman that smart.
But and industry insider he might have testified against could.
