Thank you for reading and commenting! :) Autopsy determined she'd been dead the whole time. Yes, my own sister, which is one reason the endless TV, movies, and police procedural novels weary me. I do watch Forensics Files. I'm amazed at how many people will commit murder for a $100,000 (or less!) life insurance policy. Or murder as a substitute for divorce. Justice? Even if the evidence is found and leads to a conviction, the dead are still six feet under, and nothing changes that. (Thx again @boladyl!)
