When Love Hurts

I have to head outb head out now on my rounds and do not want to leave the blog empty for long period of time. Among, the blessings and burdens of being a P.I. are the hours. You never know when you will be called out, where you go until you are sent there, or how long you'll be gone.

One case I am working on involved a woman who has seriously gone over the edge after her husband's recent exit from their marriage. He  filed for divorce, he said, because she is nuts, but covertly so...
and after so many years of her controlling, demanding, negative ways, he wanted a life for himself.

According to dad,  mom is both boozing and using  pills.  Dad wants full custody because he feels the kids aren't being cared for properly by mom ---  who has  added one more ingredient into the volatile mix -- a boyfriend is 20 years younger than mom. He is 24 mom is 44. The youngest child, a girl, is 5.
The eldest, a boy, 7.  It appears mom, is now officially a cougar.... and dad is worried either the cougar or her mate will harm his children.

This prompted me to think about another domestic case I know a whole lot about that turned to into a horrific murder. In this case, however, the victims were the married couple.

Two soldiers killed, Timothy and Randi Miller,  were killed not overseas, here on  a base at Ft Lewis, Washington.

I got to Fort Lewis alot on business. Also the Naval Base at Bremerton, the McChord Air Force base, Whidbey Island and more.  I live nearby the Bangor Sub Base.

You'd think once our soldiers come home, they'd be safe.
Not so.

I am linking you now to a true crime case that you'll be hearing more about in the days ahead. The story's a little old, though it's a great summary of the case.

Here's the link. The title of this blog post will also take you there.

As you investigate you may want to look into the National Equirer (they're online) this week. They've got a picture of the couple, their baby, and the murderer in custody.
Excuse me... "alleged" murderer.
Though between you and me,  Ivette is guilty as sin.
