3. But, of course he did...

The twists and turns of this and all the related cases might make for great episodic crime dramas, but damn... That one single family was associated with so much mayhem going back generations makes me want to wall off that county forevermore.

6. Maybe a combination of silencing the wife and collecting insurance money on her and their son?

Dude was definitely in financial trouble.

That family is a gothic horror.

7. I always thought he murdered her and their son, then pretended to have offered up his life so

the other son could collect. Nooooo. He was going to benefit somehow. Maybe an attempt on his life for being a horrible man, but no self-sacrifice in him. Did his hitman try to kill him? Or attempt
staged. Kooky psychopath, he.
