- Early on in the film Bob admits that he picked up his dead wife in a slow fashion, and when he saw her battered face, he gently set her down. At 25:03 minutes in the video the courtroom played back an interrogation interview where they tell him they are having a hard time regarding his blood found on her body (albeit the blood was inconclusive evidence). His response: "...I have no idea or explanation for it because I didn't touch her." My gut instinct is different from the above viewers. I do believe he did this in a fit of rage. Yes, no one ever saw him lose his temper, and therein lies the transparency, because when those types do lose their temper eventually, they really lose it. I think his wife bore the brunt of one such occassion. What I cannot make sense of, in his defense, is the timing. Unless he's St. John Bosco, he cannot be in two places at once...

- Of course I have no idea if this man killed his wife.....I will say I find it hard to believe after 27 years and everyone except one worker said they never seen this man loose his temper......No I don't believe he did it and they ruined his life........2 years locked up and now looking for work and in debt. very sad story all around.

- Have you ever noticed that when someone is guilty they state over and over that they did not do it and never once mention that someone else is out there that did do it. They should be furious with the investigators for not trying harder to find the "real killer". And Yes, I agree that they could have done a better job with the investigation, especially right after it happened. They could have checked under Bob's fingernails and swabbed their drains, etc. -You know like Katherine and Stella do on CSI.

- In all honesty I do not think this man killed his wife. If the dna on the palm of her hand had of been blood then it would have surprised me. His dna in the form of skin cells is very likely since they were married and touch each other everyday. I think a killer is still at large and someday if not here now that person will answer to the highest power and that is God. No one escapes God's justice.

- Do investigator use some kind of checklist (like the end in tax software where it tell you what you could be missing) in their investigation. If they had done that they would have found the evidence.
