This scene is powerful, especially with the fiance's reaction. I can't imagine the feelings she's going through. First being supportive of who she believes is the love of her life, dealing with the tragedy of his past love. Then you find out he lied about knowing his fiance cheated, breaking the law of perjury. Then that he was spying on your conversations, stalking your life because of his suspicions of cheaters. Then that he lied again about the money he got from his fiance's death doing to charity. Then confusion turns to disgust when she realizes that blood money went to her ring, tearing it off like it burns her skin to wear it. That causes her partner to go into defending his actions, which she may have not pieced together in her building confusion right away. Her focus was on the ring but his reaction makes it clear. He did it. Then the horror sets in that you had been living with a murderer who killed his fiance in a rage spurred by infidelity. That he was changed by the event to distrust their partner and assume they would likely cheat on them. And to that their only defense is his undying love. Like it makes it justified. You then become horrified at the realization, that if the truth never came out about what he did... would he have eventually done the same to you? Even if you didn't cheat, he wouldn't trust you, and he would no doubt be capable of doing it again under the thought that he got away with it the first time.

Most of the people that died in the towers didn't die of the initial explosions & fire, but when the towers fell, their bodies were crushed and shredded by the debris. For a lot of the victims, they were lucky if they found even a hand intact; there was no reason at the time to suspect it had been hacked off with an axe at another location and thrown into the wreckage.

[@Arcaryon]

@@flyboy152 You saw the same photography I did. I wouldn't recommend it but do a quick Google search for torn off limbs after an explosion (warning, extremley graphic). While people maybe didn't think about it at the original event, on this trial the prosecuter was aware of limb having been amputated. Thing is; the show made a deal about showing us the missing hand - so when I could see that, this makes it rather difficult to then use said photography to prove that the victim was in fact killed by a violent explosion. Again; even an amateur could tell the wounds apart if he knew what he was looking for which in the example here, was absolutely essential to the case.

[@flyboy152]

@@Arcaryon You missed my point that most of the tower deaths were not caused by the explosion, but by concrete and steel crushing the people, which could easily cause limbs to be chopped off.

Most victims of 9/11 that died in the WTC they could not identify by body parts. If they found anything it was a bone some teeth wallets things like that. The victims for the most part where crushed beyond identification then cremated in the fires that burned for days afterwards when the towers fell. Yes they burned for a few days after they fell also. So this man in this episode placed part of his murdered fiancée in the area around ground zero along with her night purse and that was used to ID her making her a victim of the terror attacks NOT a murder victim by him. His story fell apart because he had placed the wrong bag at the site.

[@flyboy152]

The fiancé caught Kelly coming home from her date with Hagen, and wound up killing her. He dumped her body in the lot, thinking it wouldn’t be found for a long time, and Kelly would just be “missing”. When the towers fell the next morning, he saw the perfect opportunity to cover her murder by making it seem she’d died in the towers. He went back to the lot, chopped her hand off, and dumped it along with the bag in the tower rubble.

flyboy152 A very ingenious plan, too bad that Serena‘s knowledge of women’s accessories for work ethics and evening occasions blew up his entire endgame.

[@flyboy152]

@@drogo1913 Yes, but also the fiancee tripped himself up by testifying that the small purse was her normal work bag. Had he kept his cool, and said that was her evening bag, it would have been another point against the defendant, who was making his whole case that Kelly had actually gone to work that morning.

1:09 Did they even fingerprit the hand? I think it was discovered later that the body of Kelly was discovered elsewhere, not in the ruin of the towers.
