To reword, did something happen that made you think they were capable of said act?

hmmm. I had always wondered if she had been telling me the truth about her boyfriend, before the incident.She was one of my clients that i had befriended, so mainly our friendship was on the phone. She lived about an hours drive away.Once, when we had visited i had met her friend.The way they interacted with each other, would have suggested they were estranged lovers. I did not ask, and she did not say.When the news story unfolded, they were indeed lovers. The friend was leaving her and taking their son(whom the friend had birthed for them) and was leaving her.Best as i can figure, my friend, in a twisted maternal rage and control issues, killed her lover. The
romantic weekend in the mountains, was for burning her dismembered body. Honestly, never dare to assume that you really know someone. If there were red flags other than lying about her being a lesbian, i must have missed them.I knew she had committed the crime, when i saw her eyes on the news.Even in her verbal denial, her stone cold empty look, gave her away.

well, i felt betrayed, frightened, angry and finally sad.I could not bring myself to visit her in prison or to ever write her, i let the friendship die. I have oftened wondered what had became of their son. Both my friends mom and the 4 year old son, were present at the murder. Infact, her mom, tried to help cover it up. I hope that the son was able to get past that horrific nitemare and have a well adjusted life.
We all suffer emotional trauma in our lives, and often times it is not easy getting past that. I choose to not walk in fear, anger and mistrust;it is far better to hope and see the good in people.I am more intuitive though, and able to clearly see when some one or something is amiss
