If you watched the TV interview with Marion Wilkes, last week, after his wife was reported as "misssing" something seemed askew.
Wilkes seemed very calm, and concentrated more on lauding the West Columbia Police Department, more than he seemed worried about his wife. He also did not report her missing until a day-and-a-half after she allegedly went missing.
Marion Wilkes also mentioned in the interview trips to Charleston or to the movies, more than one movie at a time, for his wife. That's a bit unusual.
While an arrest of a husband for murder of his wife is always shocking, those who watched the video may have thought something was amiss.

Why does America house murderers for life? If there is undeniable evidence and a confession, why not a firing squad at dawn? Why house these people whose very existence promotes more murders and causes much grief to the victim's families? Nothing fancy, an execution for a murder...w/o out all the decade long appeals.
