I would guess she was losing control in multiple areas.
She was probably losing privacy.
He perhaps was breaking into her phone.
I think that's been reported somewhere.
Monitoring her whereabouts, according to one report, he was actually stalking and surveilling her.
And Nancy, 76% of all stalking happens during a marriage.
While two people are married, we think of it as happening, you know, you go out on a date with somebody, you don't want to date them again, and all of a sudden they become preoccupied and they start stalking you.
That's not really how it goes down.
You get married to somebody, you fall in love, and you realize that beneath the surface is somebody who's pathologically jealous.
So they become preoccupied with you.
And in fact, they might want to kill you because if you're dead, they don't have to live with their own torturous fantasies anymore.
And then that becomes a strong motivator towards homicide.
Well, Nancy, we have to take several factors into account.
Does she wear hearing aids?
Were they out?
How does that affect how she experienced the attack?
Was she clothed or unclothed?
Did she wear a CPAP machine?
Does she have oxygen?
So we have to think about all of that.
