Actually now I'm begining to question the 'guy in the closet' story as well.
My husbands the one who really picked up on the validity of it all.
From local media sources:
"Police say that Jeff Freeman ordered the suspect to leave after discovering him inside the closet. Not long afterward, police say Rocha-Perez allegedly grabbed the family's shotgun and forced Mr. Freeman into a bathroom, where he beat him and strangled him to death. Authorities say that Martha Freeman was on the other side of the bathroom door while the alleged murder was taking place.
News 2 has learned that there are inconsistencies in the timeline of the murder. Sources say that Jeff Freeman died late Sunday night or early Monday morning, but the police weren't notified for almost half a day, at 3:30 pm Monday. The question authorities now have is - where was Mrs. Freeman and what was she doing?
According to Metro Police, Martha Freeman was not being held against her will and she was not being threatened. Numerous sources told News 2 she even left the home a couple of times to run errands, such as walking the dog.
Martha Freeman has not yet been charged with any crime. Police say she's been cooperating with investigators, but Rocha-Perez has not yet answered their questions. Authorities say that the Freemans were having marital problems and slept in separate bedrooms. They have no children and shared a business together."
The first report I heard was that the husband killed the interloper.
I agree with your husband.
The whole story is absurd. It has "conspiracy to commit murder" written all over it. I doubt that the murderer had ever "lived" in the closet. He was in the closet on that particular night for the simple purpose of killing the husband.
