Her actions indicate to me she had him killed. Had I been a close relative of her husband, she would regret saying what she said because I would either make her life a living Hell or I would expose her as a murderer. Her actions are extremely suspicious and had I been a detective I would suspect her or an lover as the killer. Cars are sabotaged by hit men to make their handy work appear to be an accident, not a murder for hire.

I was also wondering about his family. If for this reason ALONE, she should not be telling everyone of how relieved she was/is. I could not imagine someone being glad that my baby (even as an adult) had died.

The supposed abuse was along the lines of him being controlling and not wanting her to get a job or go back to college. She felt oppressed. At least, I believe that is the extent of it all. I don’t believe the abuse was significant enough that divorce wouldn’t have freed her from its reach. I do understand how some who have been abused might feel unsafe in the world as long as the other person is alive. I didn’t get the feeling from her interview that was the case. He was overbearing and she didn’t want to be controlled. I suppose it’s a valid reason for divorce, but hardly reason to be relieved someone had died horribly in an auto accident. His family must want to squash her like a bug.

Sad. I read the reviews of the book on Amazon, and to my suprise – they were all good. One review hinted at their being abuse in teh relationship. Has anyone heard this?

I know Holly. I was stunned to see her interview run on CNN. I thought, why is she even getting face time? Who would buy a book like this? I didn’t include the title, but anyone can find it by Googling Ms. Elison’s name. Makes me wonder, and I’m joking (kind of), if she didn’t fiddle with his brake fluid or something.

WTF??? Wow – she’s making money off this book?
Okay, I watched someone die of terminal cancer that took months and months longer than it should have. I think everyone was praying for some quick thing to come in and end the pain. I guess I can understand moments like then, when the victim and the family are ready to let go and more time is only giving them horrible pain.
But you hit the nail on the head with her reasoning. It’s convenience, isn’t it? It was more convenient for her to not have to go through a divorce. Now she has the money and could quickly go on with her life. Screw his family and his future chance at happiness.
That, I think is the most horrible thing I have ever seen. And to praise her for her honesty???
ugh.
