There's a really weird case going on here where one morning this family pulls their SUV onto a back road, then something nasty happens, and the upshot was mother and three kids shot to death, husband ran off, apparently with some minor injury.
The thing is, though, his explanation was that he got out to check the roof racks. Came back to the car, and the wife just out of nowhere takes a shot at him. He runs off and she apparently goes batshit insane and shoots herself and the kids. Oookay. But the police were very clear, again and again, about him being "not a suspect, not a person of interest" and let him go off to Kansas to plan the funerals or summat.
From where he is now resisting extradition, it having become clear that what probably happened is precisely what you assume probably happened.
What I can't wrap my head around is how they bought this guy's story in the first place - and yet it seemed like there must be something backing it up other than his say so, since the police were at such pains to portray him as uninvolved.

I haven't been following this story too closely, but I just assumed when the police said he wasn't a suspect, they were lying.
Yeah, it seemed different than usual for some reason - more pointed, or something. I mean, that 'person of interest' thing is usually the code for "not a suspect, sure." And they did okay him shipping off out of state.
Thank you for the sympathies, folks. We're just trying to do what's best for Teddy.
On the Vegan Quint custody thing:
This is an old interview [link]
Maybe he wants custody because she's a whiny and entitled and expects everyone to bend over backwards for her and her five children?
The child services thing, if its exactly as she tells it, is pretty horrible -- but most of the time she seems to think its simple good manners for hosts to prepare entire second menues for six people and takes umbrage at the notion that she should bring something along to eat if they a) can't; b) don't; or c) misunderstand what she can eat.
Maybe its just through the eyes of the now-divorce, but she seems pretty distainful of her husband even then. Charming girl I'm sure.
I hope that interview was a text one. There's a bit too much LOLing in there, even so.
I don't know any details beyond what brenda just posted but I wouldn't think it's a big deal that he's resisting extradition-- there will be a hearing in Kansas but it's very hard to win those. It doesn't sound unreasonable to let him leave the state given the chances of losing an extradition hearing.
Oh, no. That's so sad about Benoit. Disturbing, too.
I hope it storms soon. My skull feels bloated and my taste buds are all ferwonked, and it'd be nice the the sky would stop crushing my head.
