[@Leslie55555]

Am I the only one who kept thinking why the detective didn’t ask him why he didn’t just tell her about his financial situation? I guess it was because he was too embarrassed to just tell her the truth, but it would have been satisfying to hear him say it, especially for the family. Regardless, the mere fact that his immediate thought is to buy a baseball bat instead (and ahead of time), says all I need to know about him. It’s unbelievable the kind of people out there nowadays!!! Deepest condolences to the family, just heartbreaking 💔

[@lisas8244]

@Leslie55555 The reason he didn't ask him the obvious was he was trying to elicit as many details as possible to make his case. Had the detective become judgmental, the killer might have clammed up.

There’s a technical term for the psychological condition of this guy. It’s all about shame.

[@TheWallacePlace]

Yes, that. And one last rendezvous. I believe this whole story and reasoning was just made up to cover up the fact that he didn't want to be responsible for taking care of himself and he wanted to have one last fling before he left with no concern for another human life

It takes a long, long time to truly get to know someone.

I also don't know why the narrator is accusing the perp of being robotic and seeming not to care while he is reciting the tragic events.

When he gave her a $15k check for a wedding planner? Women need to quit being so pushy about getting married to men they don't really know anything about! People have pasts as they age and get to be in their '60's. Some not so pretty and full of lies. Law & Crime advertises "Truth Finder" all the time. I don't know how much it costs, but whatever is does cost, would be worth your life!! How many stories have they shown about men killing fiance's or women they married just days ago? Women shouldn't be so afraid of being single, because murdered is what you're going to get! I've been a widow for 31 years. I never did meet a man that didn't *big lie*, so I stayed single.
