She rented the condo in anticipation of a family vacation, and it coincided with the actual murder.
She might have figured that since the kids were told they were going on vacation, she'd just follow thru with that.
I can't imagine what happened in that house??? Don't misunderstand me...I'm not an advocate of killing husbands.

That scenario makes the least bit of sense, let me explain why.
She's been charged with premeditated murder. Therefore she's either admitted to planning the crime or the forensic evidence exists to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, she planned the murder. Rarely do people plan a vacation if they plan on killing their spouse; except when it can be used to their advantage.
"we were on vacation and my spouse dissapeared" being the advantage a planned family vacation would have. If the condo was for the family the murder most likely would have happened there.
So your husband isn't really a spectre... (yet)?
