Umm...no. This is not, contrary to the popular beliefs of some, a Police State. The fiance was most certainly a "person of interest", perhaps even a "suspect". But without evidence, that's all he'll ever be.
When I first heard this story, I
knew that he was gonna get the media crucifiction. I didn't think that he did it, and here's the simple reason why. They weren't married yet. He had nothing to gain, and everything to lose, had he offed her. Now, had they been
married...that's another story. You have insurance, inheritence, alimony, child support payments, divorce attorney fees, child custody battles, and so on and so forth, all making for one hell of a motive to just make her "disappear". That motive was not here.
I thought that, most likely, either one of two things happened. Either she panicked and ran (which is, in fact, what happened, or she was abducted, raped and killed while on a jogging trail. It's happened here a few times.
Don't be to quick to judge her. She made a bad snap decision judgement call. At that particular moment, she thought that this was her best 'escape". Dumb..but somewhat understandable. I'd be curious to see the long term follow up on this. The national interest in it is over. Most of us will not see, or hear, any more of it. Shani? Can you keep us advised?
