Overkill, or just wanting to be sure he died?

Yikes. I guess she forgot to tase him and poison him while she was at it.. He picked the wrong one to mess with.

How do we know it wasn't just a coverup for an accidental drowning?

“Ronald Vinci wanted to finally end his long-term relationship with his girlfriend.”

One would have to say his convictions where “Point On”.

He was 70, and had everything needed to enjoy life.

She is 54, losing her looks, probably menapausal, and freaking out.

He decides he doesn't need her crap any more and tells her it's over.

She sees her life crumbling, and she has nothing to lose.....

Makes a bizarre kind of sense, if one is already freaking out.

Somebody please tell this woman that that 60's hippie "hairstyle" doesn't work on a 54 year old woman.

"Guilty" doesn't even begin to describe it.

First thing I’d do is check to see if her name is in his will or any life insurance policies. I’m guessing she is and she didn’t want to give him time to make any changes.

I hope she is menopausal. She obviously can't control her PMS.
