Did Lori have a life insurance policy. Its possible he killed her because of that.
His big lie was blowing up in his face. They were moving for him to attend med school and they find he had not graduated from college, much less been accepted to med schol..Stress and resentment got to him, I think.He had lied to all the families and Lori..very elaborate and sick.
Good thinking, Lori. I haven't seen anybody bring that up yet. Surprising since it's such a classic motive. In this case, though, I would tend to doubt that was Hacking's game. The police have called this a rage killing and my impression so far is that Hacking saw his wife as a threat to his continuing pretense of accomplishment. However, if Lori does turn out to be life-insured and Hacking's convicted of killing her, he won't get a penny of it.
