If I see this stupid statement put forth one more time I'm afraid I'll do serious damage to my pretty good monitor.
AMBER FRY was simply the bimbo of the month (albeit, at least a bimbo with some scruples).
Peterhead's motive was that he was not ABOUT to be tied down with domestic living (i.e., as a PAPPA). The timing of his crime should make it obvious .... from this scumbag's perspective, the poor darlin' was terrifyingly close to the delivery room.
I agree with you about the motive. Peterson had absolutely NO intention of marrying Amber. As you say, she was the Bimbo of the month. He would have soon moved on. The entire motive in my books is simple: FREEDOM!! Freedom from being a husband, freedom from being a father, freedom from any committments at all. THAT little boy was going to ruin everything for this pr**k!!
BINGO!!!
