i know I should not judge others, but it seems he really took the cowards way out...then to blame others...it seems sort of like the Charles Stuart case of 2 decades ago, where he shot his own wife, then had police looking for an African American assailant.

What I don't understand is why did it take the medical examiner(s) a month to figure out the fatal wounds were from a suicide & not murder?
Ok, now you know I watched to much of

Same thing with Susan Smith killing her children.

I live about 25 minutes from where this took place and people are so angry. Quite a testy exchange with the police in the news conference.
There had been rumblings about him committing suicide for probably the past couple of months so I wasn't surprised to hear it when the story broke this morning. People feel very, very betrayed.

@Mz iMac.. I know, just like on TV they run DNA and get the results in an hour when, until very recently, it could take weeks!

Actually about a week after the event, the Coroner released a report stating that his initial investigation had yielded three possible finding.
1. It was a homicide.
2. It was an accident.
3. It was a suicide.
As soon as that report was released, his police department immediately attacked the coroner and said that stating it could have been a suicide was incorrect and irresponsible. Soon after that they stopped releasing information to the public. At that point many people in this area began to think a coverup was going on and it was indeed a suicide; however, I don't think anyone suspected that he had committed crimes to the extent that it was revealed today he had.

I raised my kids not even 5 blocks from where this happened...we lived there for 14 years and are now about 8 miles away.
Many have suspected suicide or hit from the start....things did not add up. Most of us are angry at the investigators leading us to believe that 3 men, armed and dangerous were running around the community for at least 3 days. Homes, schools, etc. were put on lockdown, we were all made to live in fear. Things like that just don't happen in this community....
It is very frustrating knowing that they really knew this was a suicide pretty much from the start and just wouldn't come forward with the info.

I have a relative who lives very close to there, also, and we had the same thoughts on the matter. The very public funeral...........?

Thank you so much for the clarification. Everything about this story is so much clearer.
Can't wait to hear on the tv national news their spin on this.
