Please, no offense intended, but my father and two of his brothers are physicians, and I could tell you inside stories that would make your hair stand on end.
But I won't.
Higher education does not equal harmonious family health.
That said, there's nothing in the story to point the finger at the husband at this juncture.
Thank you for saying it so directly, Palladin. That was my point in inquiring about the husband. While others know this family, I live nowhere near them and do not know them.
A friend of mine and I have disagreed on how great a possibility there is that Scott Peterson killed his wife and child. (My own OPINION is that Scott is guilty.) So I was looking at this news story here, and wondering if my friend would think, "Hmmm.... see? This pregnant woman disappeared during a burglary... why is it so farfetched that Laci might not have disappeared for the same reason?" My asking about this Mrs. Dunstan's husband was my way of expressing my opinion that when someone disappears, the logical thing to do FIRST is to look to their known associates, including family.
None of my ramblings purport to solve this case. But you can bet the police will look at this husband and the rest of the family, just to make sure. After all, these people aren't the Skakels, and this isn't Greenwich, CT.
And I wish some of those other people with the boiling blood would refrain from going off half-cocked.
