The Disturbing Case of Nique Leili

When Nique Leili went missing, the police thought she'd turn up soon. After all, her husband had 21 cameras around the house, they'd find her. When they did, and not in the way they hoped, eyes turned to Matt Leili and they arguments he had with his wife. Surprising people would rush to his defence.

Honestly, the fact that he spontaneously says "I'm not an over-possessive freak" made it sound like he was hung up on someone calling him exactly that.

I mean as someone who's had an abusive ex that did a lot of stuff like that the "she ran away for 2, 3 hours" could be an innocent and true statement...without all the other mountains of evidence. I had an ex much like how the husband tried to paint the wife after her death, but I didn't put up a ton of cameras or get violent I just left. She would pick fights and then incredibly dramatically pack her stuff and leave, and then come back knocking like 2 hours later. She wanted to make me upset and fear missing her but I was the one with the job, not her (another opposite in this case) so as soon as she started thinking about living on her own she'd cool down quick and stop using it as a tactic. Btw I broke up with that girl because she wouldn't get a job to help us both move into a nicer, bigger place I wasn't keeping her dependent at ALL I wanted her to have more freedom from me lol. Just saying someone manipulative and short sighted ABSOLUTELY can "run away" for 2 hours.

This is true - but not (always) how you outline it. Context matters. This behavior is often used in a controlling situation by the party who leaves or threatens to leave. I've observed this behavior numerous times in unhealthy relationships (including platonic and familial) and was taught and have read about it, as well. This is, unfortunately, a common unhealthy behavior.

I think all things considered, it's pretty clear Niki was a screamer with at least some violent tendencies, I mean listening to her she'd go from zero to a hundred easily. And overstated things to make them seem like things they weren't. I mean she aid he threatened to kill her, when he corrected her that what he said was the next time she tries to kill herself he isn't going to stop her. And he response was "That's the same thing." And it really isn't. Also clear is that he was a pervy, passive-aggressive, manipulative, jerk, also with violent tendencies. And I think it's clear he k!lled her, but I think those kids were telling the truth. Which is always messy and complicated.

You get a REAL strong scent of "rapist" when he says she's "unbalanced" and has some "fear of intimacy".

Especially given the audio recordings of his complaining she was "crazy" whenever she didn't want to let him assault her.

[@joywagner979]

Once I met a dude at a bus stop and we casually talked for 20 minutes while waiting for the bus. At the end, he propositioned me, and I naturally said "no." He then launched into a concerned line of questioning asking why I "feared intimacy" and whether or not I had been interfered with as a child. He seemed to seriously believe all of this was my problem, and did not understand that a normal person does not want to immediately bang someone they just met at a bus stop. Because I am relatively normal, I did not go on to date or marry this dude. He probably did go on to meet someone else upon whom he used his weird reasoning to get some nooky. Hopefully that poor woman did not marry him either, but it seems to happen frequently enough (as with the Leilli marriage) and that's concerning.
