Warning: This is a true story of a heinous crime. This may be very upsetting and painful to read for those of us who have dealt with infidelity first hand. Don’t read it if you don’t feel strong enough.<P>Here is a current news story of an incredible and horrendous crime. Infidelity and related concerns were the prime motive for this murder.<P>Yes, infidelity has been the motive for murder in the past, but this just seems to really illustrate the total loss of common sense and the levels of deceit and manipulation that can occur.<P>I hope it is safe to say that no matter what the other participants in this forum and I are experiencing in our own marriages, what happened here is by far worse and more depraved than anything we will ever be faced with.<P>I have not read all of these news stories in detail. I did hear a radio interview with the Oakland County prosecutor this morning. In that interview he confirmed that some of the physical evidence indicates that Michael Fletcher and his wife, Leann, may have been engaged in sexual intercourse at the actual time he killed her rather than the sexual activity occurring prior to the shooting.<BR> <A HREF="http://www.detnews.com/2000/metro/0006/14/a01-75053.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://www.detnews.com/2000/metro/0006/14/a01-75053.htm</A> <A HREF="http://detnews.com/2000/metro/0006/13/d01-74113.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://detnews.com/2000/metro/0006/13/d01-74113.htm</A> <A HREF="http://detnews.com/2000/metro/0006/13/d01-74110.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://detnews.com/2000/metro/0006/13/d01-74110.htm</A> <A HREF="http://detnews.com/2000/metro/0006/12/metro-73657.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://detnews.com/2000/metro/0006/12/metro-73657.htm</A> <A HREF="http://detnews.com/2000/metro/0006/11/b01-72414.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://detnews.com/2000/metro/0006/11/b01-72414.htm</A> <P>Does reading this tend to make one in favor of the death penalty<BR><p>[This message has been edited by help me (edited June 14, 2000).]

You know what H M, <P>My friends started thinking my H and OW had devious motives when they were both piling mental and emotional abuse on me during cancer treatments, which lasted a few months. <P>My H kept saying he wanted to leave but never did until I finally gave him an ultimatum. He and she were pretty horible to me at a time when I needed support and love so badly. <BR>I was a mess both emotionally and physically. One time I was driving home from a treatment on the freeway and I didn't know if I was on the correct side of the freeway or not. Thought I was losing my mind.<P>The OW left many msgs and one of them was "H is only staying w/you for the insurance, he's hoping you'll die soon".<P>My friends suspected their intentions were that gruesome and tried to convince me. I wouldn't believe it, too horrid to think he'd do that to me.<P>------------------<BR>Jo<P>Josie_Res@Hotmail.com<P>"Remain flexible like a reed, as opposed to an oak that will snap in the wind"
