Now you're made an excellent point. Although I never read that he called anybody other than family, why would he NOT call her doctor?

That is strange IMO... I would think that would have been a normal thing to do... It didn't cross his mind that she possibly went into labor and was in the hospital, or contacted her OB ? I have no definitate opinion on him being guilty or innocent yet, but I do find that strange.

I'm not following this like some of you, but as someone who has been in the company of a lot of pregnant women(expectant lists), I can tell you it's not unusual for the man to not be in on the appts and know the doctor. this is the WOMAN'S dr, not the couple's. I mean, a husband can't even find out the sex of HIS baby or be at the ultrasound unless his wife says it's ok. I just wanted to say it's not unusual for a man not to even know who a wife's dr is. My hubby would have been clueless as to my dr's exact name. He'd only went once with me to listen to the heartbeat and then to a completely different office for the 20 week ultrasound(which my doctor was not at). He probably learned her name when I actually delivered and we were around her for several hours.
Anyway, just putting my .02 that not calling the doc could be nothing. If a man does not attend a lot of appts, than it probably wouldn't be at the forefront of his mind to call her OB. Out of sight, out of mind.
If he called family and friends before calling police, one would have to think that he did not call the hospital because of that. He probably would have assumed that if she went into labor she would have called family. I think when you don't know who else to call and it's unusual for your pregnant wife to not be home on a holiday(did they have a meeting? were they supposed to meet back at the house at 5pm and after waiting an hour and half hubby became worried?)
I'm just throwing a few things around I haven't seen on some of these threads. I'm not willing to indict this guy yet from what I've read on any of these threads(and I haven't read all of them). I hope they find the body, if she is dead, and soon so it can shed some light on how and who murdered her.
