I meant to respond to this in earlier post. Yeah I agree there is something weird about that trip also. So much of this depends on when he told his parents that he killed her, and what story he gave them, and what they’re willing to do? He needs their financial help in a big way to disappear forever and that always leaves a trail.
These people aren’t young parents who are 43. They are more 60 Iirc.
I assume they don’t want to die in jail. I assume he didn’t just come home and tell them he killed her immediately. That’s not an easy conversation. You can help him around the periphery in ways that might not land you in prison for the rest of your life at 60, but you start shipping your kid to a non-extradition country and financing the whole thing, in Covid era, that’s going to leave a trail. I’m guessing he took awhile to be straight and they weren’t going to turn him in and would help some, but didn’t want to die in jail. Maybe I’m wrong and we will find they chartered him a plane out of the country, but it feels half assed.
