I think just about anyone who watched that clip of him doing the interview outside his home, knew he was guilty.

All of the sudden the media is outraged over an unborn baby being murdered.

That said, what a sad situation for the wife's family.

Probably for the same reason Scott Peterson murdered Lacy and their unborn child.

Probably had a girlfriend and a family was a pain in the butt that he had to spend money on or pay support for if he divorced the wife.

Just speculation, but it sure wouldn’t be the first time.

Yeah, his news interview was so casual! Didn’t seem concerned at all...just standing around. Any normal loving husband would have been out there looking for her, not giving casual interviews with no sense of urgency!

It was so insincere. The smile on his face didn’t help.

Who knows? His wife got home late & they had a fight. Probably smothered his kids in their beds.
He’s an evil Ba&^ard

The smile on his face, the skin-tight shirt showing his muscular build - all very odd. There was no sadness in his demeanor nor any fear. He was glad about eliminating his “problem” Makes me wonder if he’s gay.

He needs to spend a year in prison with a sign on his back that says: I killed my pregnant wife and 2 innocent little daughters. Then he should be executed, if he’s still alive.

Good point. If so it will probably be like pulling teeth to get that info.

Unfortunately, his attorney will probably be successful in trading the location of the bodies for no death penalty.

Agree. But it’s Colorado. Never happen.

The husband is always the #1 suspect in these situations so this guy was an idiot for speaking to the press like that in the first place. In my mind, he convicted himself right there in that 10 minute interview. It was an utterly pathetic performance.

Would love to see the police interview recording when that becomes available. I bet it took under an hour to get the confession.
