If the spouse is murdered, I believe you had a hand in it until established otherwise. If murdered, it will mostly be by someone that you know.

Who would think you'd done it?
I think at least half of my friends would believe I did it. Most of them know I have anger issues and a temper.

Everyone.

And they would be right.

Hmmmm, one of those suspicious "falling off a cliff accidents" ?!?!


Yes, Dateline or 48 Mystery or Forensics Files would definitely do a show about that once you are charged (but hopefully not convicted, if you were innocent).

Indeed. In 2013, a 76 year old British man killed his wife of 50+ years with a statue after they had a big argument. He, among others, is living proof that misery loves company.

I would not be a suspect because Costco is about 40 minutes away from me and the GPS in my phone AND my credit card receipt would fit my timeline.

No but they would have to figure in the time it would have taken to take a show, change, go to the store, etc.... They may not know an exact fine, but they can usually figure out if it fits within a timeline.

I thought there were cameras at our Costco, too, but I didn't see any. Maybe they're just really well hidden.

Parking lot cams probably wouldn't apply if there are any. I always park in the spot that's the furthest from the store. Doubt it's covered by a camera.
Yes, they have security cameras.

But beside all that, do you know anyone who would assume you were guilty?
No, I'm not a murderer and would never do such a thing. Not worth ruining my life over, unless it was a case of self defense.

I think I'd just produce the receipt and ask them to view the footage recorded on the security cameras. Noboby in my inner circle would believe that I murdered the love of my life. Nobody
