Agreed. When you look at the totality of evidence, the most reasonable explanation for Victoria's sudden, suspicious disappearance is that her husband killed her in a domestic homicide after years of abuse, and successfully hid her body in the works sludge pools.
The total absence of a body, after extensive professional police searches, is in itself powerful evidence of foul play by a third party. Suicide victims are usually found, murder victims are not. When a woman suddenly vanishes without a trace never to be seen again, you can be sure she was murdered - and by far the most likely culprit is her partner. Who else but Jim had any reason to want rid of Victoria? He had the means, motive and opportunity.
Her ill health was becoming a drain on his patience and finances. And when his affair with the new girlfriend Kathy heated up, he had far better uses for the family cash, ie taking her to hotels for pornographic photo shoots, and blowing hundred of thousands of dollars gambling in casinos.
His contempt for his missing wife was clear in the way he spoke of her to police - it was obvious he did not want her back! If he was guilty of nothing more than falling for another woman after his wife's supposed 'suicide', why did he and Kathy repeatedly and determinedly lie about it to police, and under oath? Again, that's circumstantial evidence indicating their intention to cover up a very serious crime of spousal murder, which was triggered by their affair.
The way he told relatives with certainly that his wife was dead and would never be found, spoke of personal knowledge of her whereabouts. And that was supported by the evidence the jury heard about the industrial waste outlets he used in his dumper truck driver job for a paper factory.
When the senior detective revealed in court that Jim had told him he had a key to access the chemical sludge pools (which were NOT covered by CCTV cameras), it was clear where Victoria's remains lay - and why they had never/would never be recovered.
Prokopovitz's defence lawyer was visibly shocked at the news, and stammered his responses, as his client notably stayed silent. Old Jimbo slipped up there with police - as narcissistic killers often do. The key revelation was a real slam-dunk moment for the prosecution.

That so-called body language 'expert' made a total fool of herself with her "Wendi is innocent - her palms were facing up", BS! That's ridiculous.
In fact Wendi's over the top sobbing looks horribly fake and rehearsed, and in the context of her soured relationship with the victim, her ex-husband (with whom she was fighting a vicious custody battle over their kids), it simply makes no sense.
That's how you'd respond to the murder of your much-loved, current husband, not your hated and despised ex!
Also that 'expert' suggests Wendi would know nothing about body language, to fake moves indicating innocence. But as a lawyer, I would suggest she likely knew about the various indicators for guilt and innocence, and in the run up to Dan's murder researched and practised the right body language for that very moment, when a cop told her of his death. Wendi knows the legal system, and that she was on video throughout that police interview.
It's perfectly obvious Wendi Adelson was putting on the performance of her life in that police interview room. But she is not the great actress her mother Donna told her she is. Far from it. Her wide eyed innocent act in court doesn't convince me either!
She's a narcissistic abuser so ruthlessly self-serving, she would not share her children with their father, and was fully on board with him being violently and permanently removed from their lives. And she was OK with her closest family members taking the rap for that crime, a murder which only benefited her. Wendi's a lousy human being and mother, who belongs in prison for the rest of her days.

Exactly right, great point. Not only was her fake crying very over the top, it simply didn't make sense she would react like that about an ex-husband she hated, and was fighting a vicious custody battle with! That's how distraught you'd be if your current, much-loved husband died - not your despised ex!
Her overly-dramatic sobbing is plainly all for show - she's an attorney, who understands the legal system and knew that video footage of her in the police interrogation room being told of Dan's shooting would be viewed and analysed endlessly for her reaction. I doubt she's any stranger to body language either, and she no doubt knew the moves/gestures that indicate 'innocence'. Ridiculous that so-called 'expert' believes she's not guilty, just because she threw her palms up!
As others have mentioned in the comments, Wendi knew Dan had custody of their two children that day. Surely an innocent woman with no clue about the murder plot would have been panic-stricken about her little boys' safety. The first thing out of her mouth to police would be; 'Are my kids OK?'
But curiously, Wendi never mentioned them. It's like she knew Dan had dropped the boys safe at school, and was shot later, when he arrived home, alone in his car...

Is anyone who resides in the real world remotely surprised by this police officer's vile, misogynistic insults about Karen Read? Sadly this is how many men talk about women, with other men - in both informal, and professional settings. This kind of casual misogyny and disrespect of females by males is a global epidemic - and it thrives and spreads like wildfire in all-male/male dominated environments.
Groups of men are, generally speaking, toxic, which is the innate nature of male-dominated organisations like law enforcement. God help any woman who becomes implicated in a criminal investigation, managed by mostly testosterone-fuelled male officers.
Women are, again generally speaking, a civilising influence on men in the workplace. Organisations like the police would be far better run with a 50/50, male/female split of employees. But that day is a long way off!

The way Jessie 'Smug-Git' Smollett has exploited his colour every which way to his own benefit is utterly shameful!
This wealthy, entitled creep has set the cause of black people back by decades - I hope every person of colour with any power or influence roundly rejects him from now on, and he is made the pariah he deserves to be!
The man is a dirty disgrace. HOW DARE HE continue to lie and lie and lie again that he didn't do it, when the evidence against him is overwhelming??? He has no shame, no morals and NO DIGNITY.
Whatever his expensive lawyers manage to pull for him, the final say will be in the COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION, where creepy Jessie Smug-Git is a total JOKE! His acting career is OVER as is his VIP celebrity status and any respect he once had.
What a total a$$hole to put that NOOSE around his own neck, knowing how that image hurts people who know real black people horrifically lynched and murdered by racist monsters using exactly that method?
He cynically exploited racist murders just to get himself bigger fame and prestige, thinking he deserves to be a Denzel Washington or a Samuel L Jackson (you know - a black STAR with TALENT, lol!) Smollett has only succeeded in making himself an infamous pr1ck, and shown the world in court exactly how lousy an actor he is!

Police should have taken Brian Laundrie into custody as soon as Gabby was declared a missing person - if they had, he'd be behind bars now where he belongs. He came home from that road trip in Gabby's van alone, hid behind his parents and an attorney and refused to answer any questions about her whereabouts, despite her family's desperate pleas.
Brian Laundrie was the sole person of interest in her disappearance, police should not have given him the chance to leave his parents' house and go on the run! That's not just my view, even senior police like Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd believes his colleagues dropped the ball.
The Keystone Cops messed up every step of the way - firstly by failing to arrest Laundrie for domestic abuse on the roadside, after not one but TWO 911 witness reports of him hitting her, (Sheriff Judd said there were ample grounds to arrest him right then for domestic abuse), then by failing to take him into custody or even put him under round the clock surveillance when Gabby was missing, suspected murdered.
The dirty Laundries totally ran rings around law enforcement, and now Brian's killed himself he's totally cheated justice! If I were Gabby's family I'd be lived at police.

@Skitdora2010 There was no 'bigotry' in that person's comment it was perfectly logical and reasonable - it's YOU who needs to get off your high horse! Seems you're another who doesn't understand the power of a primarily circumstantial case. Kudos to police for working hard over 8 years to deliver justice for a woman who was murdered by her abusive husband. Detectives provided enough evidence against James Propokovitch to show an intelligent jury that he and he alone was the reason for his wife's sudden, suspicious disappearance.
A less intelligent jury seeks a ton of forensic evidence, because they lack the critical thinking skills to work out the truth from a ton of circumstantial evidence. Thankfully this group of people was smart enough to do the work! There was no other reasonable explanation for Victoria Propokovitch to have totally vanished in those suspicious circumstances - none. The defence assertion that this physically weak lady who couldn't walk far and didn't drive somehow committed suicide and disposed of her own, fully clothed body (never located in 8 years, despite extensive professional searches), was ridiculous! She was more likely to have been abducted by little green men from Mars.
Propokovitz had motive, means and opportunity, police even know what he did with his wife's corpse, and why having placed it (minus dentures) into powerful chemicals, he was so cocky that he'd got away with murder!
Detectives even presented evidence of his extra marital affair, which went straight to motive - why else would he have lied under oath and persuaded his girlfriend to commit perjury with him, regarding their relationship? Perjury is a serious criminal offence, with serious consequences, if they had nothing to hide they'd have just told the truth. They conspired together to lie to authorities because they were covering up the far more serious crime of murder. Propokovitch is a gambling addict - he knew better than most how high the stakes were!
This was a textbook domestic homicide, sadly seen all too often. The guilty verdict sends a powerful message to other abusers they cannot assume they'll walk free just by hiding their victim's body, and nor will police give up on justice for a murder victim and their family because years have passed.

Lately we are hearing hints that all is not well within the Adelson family - cracks have appeared in the relationship between Wendi and her parents and brother, as she distances herself from them, terrified of following Charlie and Donna to prison.
Imagine how angry Charlie must feel at his little sister, the spoiled family princess he will now die behind bars for, all because he was good enough to 'eliminate her problem', at their mother's urging?
Ditto Donna, furious that her only daughter, who she stuck her neck out for, plotting her hated ex husband's murder, now barely visits or talks to her. I bet Donna and husband Harvey hardly see their grandsons either, because Wendi is so terrified of visiting them or being seen to be close with them - and then being judged guilty by association.
Is it possible Charlie and Donna could be so angry at taking the fall for Wendi, they decide to take her down with them - either now or at a later date? After all, the eldest son Rob Adelson is fully estranged from the family and may give evidence for the state at his mother's imminent murder trial. So this family has a history of explosive fall outs - and of turning on each other! The plot thickens...
