The tub where she supposedly 'drowned' was bone dry... hence, there wasn't even a trace of a single drop of water on the victim's body or hair - in spite of him claiming that he heard water running when he entered the house... And, the fact that his wife's name was absent from the deed to the house - while his name and that of his mother was put down as being the legal owners of the Florida home he supposedly bought for himself and his wife... Yet, he had no issue with his other half paying for any and every contractor doing work on the house... These two actions weren't just red flags - they might've been red flags on steroids to his wife, who seemed extremely capable and successful on every level. This despiccable male lying as easily as the rest of us draw a breath, is right were he belongs... and his only ticket to freedom should suitably be a plain, wooden box.
