For those of you that realize you are prone to ad hominem argument and you would like to replace it with a productive manner of debate, I highly recommend C.S. Lewis' The Abolution of Man.

What about the red herring of posting about news organizations that responsibly reported the news instead of discussing the subject at hand? Does C.S. Lewis have a parable for that?

I was responding in kind, and you know it. The veiled "I'm waiting for mea culpas" premature declaration of victory was fallacious and dishonest. The facts are here before us and don't fit with the life insurance investigation's findings as well as you and the Fox News article you linked would have us believe.
This discussion is not over. Evidence still suggests that murder was a possibility.
