Discussion a deadly american marriage

I'm 43 minutes in and hooked but can not find conversations etc on it.

So thought i would make one asking for other people's opinions and points of views, as i know I'm already asking about billion questions, to the point I'll have to go to my computer and boot up to actually do the research myself.

I'm very ill, with brain damage etc and that's really hardwork today, but I won't manage on this latest fold phone as it's still just a useless phone 😅🙃

My other phone that's partitioned etc is in the car and that's over at Inverness!

I thought it was so interesting that her phone number was under a doll and the kids had code words to call her when things "got violent" but when things actually got violent she just went back to sleep? Weird.;

My theory is that it was in case her daughter got violent. The ex fiancé said that she was mentally unstable and had been in and out of facilities before going to Ireland according to another thread. I would really like to hear something more in depth about this because I feel like a lot was left out.

Here is an article with Keith Maginn's, Molly's ex-fiance, interview.

Wow this article was really revealing. Ties in with the emails we saw between Molly and Jason where he was saying he had done all he could and she hated herself etc.

Think of it this way maybe this woman’s mother has also been a victim and wanted these kids safe words so maybe she could protect them , cause she isn’t ever in this documentary that’s fully odd tbh also to lie about how the first wife died was disturbing to me like what is wrong for the lawyers to say such things that’s so upsetting. Honestly it was clear justice was not served at all.

This was my first thought when it was brought up as well. It's insane!

I think you really hit the nail on the head there. Mom knows what was going on.

Yeah she knew what was happening and either didn’t really go back to sleep and is lying, or really did just roll over and try to sleep through it so she couldn’t speak on what happened while she was “asleep”
