I can't remember how long these two had been married.
I am thinking maybe a couple years?
Laci and Scott Peterson were married for 5 years b/f she was murdered.
Sometimes I have thought about the high rate of divorce, and it's sad. Like many others, I think about how part of the reason for it is that divorce is easier and easier to get.
But then one has to step back and think of how it supposedly was in the "olden" days. Seems to me that if divorce is very hard to get, that might lead to an increased incidence of spouses murdering spouses, since that might be the only way out of a terrible marriage.
Nowadays, it seems that if it's just two people, divorce is the answer to a miserable union. But what about if it's 3 people? Things have changed on that front, too--just in the last 20 years. The federal government has set "guidelines" for child support. They are serious about enforcing it.
Nothing wrong with making sure both parents pay for their children. But... it's very hard to get out of. Nowadays, a child support obligation is like marriage used to be: almost impossible to avoid, once that child is born. (I'm not saying they SHOULD avoid it, I'm just saying some people WANT to avoid it.)
Both Laci and Lori were pregnant. It makes me think that the husbands saw something coming that they couldn't get out of.
It also makes me sick that a potential money problem would, in their minds, outweigh the potential good of having a child.
Mark and Lori were married in 1999. The 5 year mark seems to be a dangerous time.
Lori and Mark were married for four or five years. They were high school sweethearts.
Cadaver dogs were searching the landfill last night.
Hi Devil, I think I heard they were also married 5 years, just like Scott & Laci.
