Maybe he is a wacko psycho, but every family member except Laci is certain he is Mr. Perfect. That's the only idea I can think of, where she would have felt it necessary to disappear. Of course, that theory would work also, if in fact he killed her. :-(

I don't think she would have disappeared on her own because it seems like she always wanted to be near her family. She didn't want him taking a job in Ohio so she could stay by her family, they sold the business to be nearer to her family. That doesn't sound like a woman who would run off when she's most vulnerable and about to have a baby. Perfect people can be pretty scary because they aren't always letting on that they've got problems.
