The parents aren't going to pay again for all of that and there will be people so pissed at her that they won't go.
Here is something I noticed about this thread and I wanted to see if others noticed this and wanted to analyze it with me:
Review this thread and notice the discussion:
1) Prior to the announcement of her being found, the discussion is virtually all girls and they all imply the fiance's involvement.
2) Of the "undetermined" or male entries, they either speak on facts or acknowledge that they always suspect the man's involvement and feel guilt about that.
So, it appears as if the discussion was split, at some level, along gender lines. Is this because of the gender of the "victim"? Past cases in the news? Upbringing of the poster? Gender roles in society? Please discuss...
(Mind you, I am not being sexist or starting a gender fight. I am willing to admit this is all coincidence. However, there might be some room for discussion here.)

If you REALLY want to see division along gender lines, try researching the Betty Broderick case.
Briefly (to the best of my recollection--it's been awhile), she was married to an attorney. They got divorced. One night she drove over to his house, got in somehow, and shot the attorney and his new wife (to death) while they were in bed.
Her defense was something to the effect that he was subjecting her to mental torment, because he was a good enough attorney that he had retained more of the marital assets than Betty, the ex, thought was appropriate.
Reporters who did surveys tabulated a nearly dead-on split among office workers in the downtown area: Men thought she committed murder; women felt he "drove her to it."
Oh yeah, she claimed she didn't go to his house with the plan to shoot them, although she took a gun with her. It was another gun that "went off" all by itself, and just happened to go off enough times to kill both people.
Fortunately, the jury didn't buy her story, or her defense, and locked her up for a long time. I think she's still in prison.
The scary thing about it (to me, anyway) was the number of women who seemed to think she shouldn't be locked up.
I can't recall a single man expressing the same sentiment about Scott Peterson.
