  3. The defence was reaching, big time! Common sense tells you Victoria was talking about being found in time to save her - it was a reference to her second suicide attempt in 2003 (ten years before her murder), when her son Wes found her in time, and she was rushed to hospital and survived the prescription pills overdose. Victoria had swallowed the pills out of anger that her husband, the defendant, was cheating on her. When she came round in hospital she was still angry with him and said she had wanted to die, and was angry she had been saved. She told her family she didn't expect her son to come home and find her - her plan was for her husband to find her later that day, dead. Hence her comment 'Next time you won't find me'. She was getting at her cheating husband, saying next time she'd make sure her suicide was successful and no one found her in time for rescue. She was not saying no one would ever find her dead body! That makes no sense at all. Why would anyone think about their own corpse, or about hiding it from relatives? The defence made a big deal of that statement and gave it a meaning it didn't have, because their entire case hinged on persuading the jury that Victoria wasn't murdered but killed herself and, ludicrously, hid her own, clothed body. Quite how she was supposed to have achieved that, they didn't explain! James Propokovitz was confident he would get away with murdering his wife for two reasons. First because her history of depression and her two, historic suicide attempts would be an easy explanation for her disappearance, and second because he had access to a fantastic place to dispose of her corpse forever, his employer's industrial sludge ponds containing a powerful, mix of corrosive chemicals he knew would destroy her remains. Thankfully he was wrong!
