You would never be considered a suspect because forensics and other evidence would show your time line of events.
Eventually, perhaps. But not all the evidence is in on the day of.
I think many people who responded to this thread did so based on TV cop dramas. Not that there's anything wrong with that; we're currently watching "Bosch" on Amazon and enjoying it.
Years ago at my place of work I called the police to report that an expensive desktop computer had been stolen. I thought it was an inside job. You could still see the wheel tracks in the carpet from the cart the computer had been loaded onto. So while I was reporting this, the cop on the other end of the line asks, "Did you steal it?" I had to laugh. I think he'd been watching too many bad cop shows, where the suspect breaks down when asked point-blank if he'd committed the crime.
Nobody I know would think I'd done it. I'm too little. My husband is twice my size weight wise, and a foot taller than I am. They might WISH, but they'd never really believe it.
Let's say your BF/GF/spouse had a tiring Saturday morning and has lain down for a nap. You go to Costco to fetch your loved one more of the organic orange juice he or she loves, plus a few other things. When you return, you unload your purchases and walk quietly upstairs to check.
Only you find him or her in a pool of blood, lifeless. You call 911.
It's only later that in your dazed condition you realize you are a suspect. The police question you, making it clear they don't believe your story. You know there are some friends and family that will support you unconditionally, but you also know there are some who might not.
Who would think you'd done it?
Everyone would believe it.
I'm always telling my husband to never die mysteriously, or to disappear. All the cops have to do is look at my DVR and books on my shelves, and I'm headed to the electric chair. I love true crime, and watch and read everything out there on the subject.

Good point. Watching the ID channel could come back to haunt me.
Well if it was my first husband, some people would consider the possibility that I was guilty! But I would have hopefully have saved my store receipt to show I was actually out of the house at the time and there would really be no hard evidence to connect me to the crime.
No one would believe it......and the one person in the world who might, knows I would have planned a smarter foolproof alibi!
