How could you not expect this?
Tale as old as time...
*sigh* I guess so.... the whole thing is so sad.
It could get worse, and I suspect it will, too. This Romeo and Juliet could have driven off into the sunset and disappeared without murdering anyone. Runaways disappear all the time. They didn't have to murder her parents, that was his choice and hers. The news today is that she ran out of the house after him, knowing her parents had been murdered by him. I'm guessing they really didn't plan it out well - which I think they would have done if it had been more about running away - they drove the same stolen vehicle west on I-80, apparently making ATM and credit card purchases, leaving a trail. It makes me think their plan was more about explosive and murderous anger against her parents than it was about running away and starting a new life.
