The fact the doctor told police his wife gave him a back rub that day, to explain that his skin may be under her fingernails, is chilling. It suggests Mabel scratched her husband, as she tried to defend herself during his murderous attack.
That poor woman knew her husband, the father of her three children, the man she trusted and shared a home and bed with, was killing her. It's hard to imagine a more horrible and heinous betrayal.
And for what? Money - and Greed. Mabel was almost certainly about to leave him - the most common trigger for a man to murder a woman. Like so many domestic killers, Dirk Greineder chose murder over divorce, so he wouldn't have to give his wife her share of their jointly owned assets.
Their children know full well their father killed their mother. The way the daughter constantly shakes her head while defending his 'innocence', is very revealing body language! (19:55). They are still being controlled and manipulated by their narcissist father, just as he controlled and manipulated the entire family. If only poor Mabel had realised what he was capable of, and got herself to a safe, secret address to launch divorce proceedings. So many women are murdered because they make the fatal mistake of staying in a soured relationship too long - and give their abusive partner the opportunity to kill them.

This is classic narcissism, taken to an extreme. Dr Dirk Greineder made a ruthless, self-serving decision to murder a wife who had become an inconvenience to him. He plotted, and then carried out her murder, taking only one dog on their daily walk to the park, to simplify the immediate clean up/cover up.
Once he struck the first blow to the back of May's head, a cowardly ambush from behind, he realised she would not die without a fight. May had a life to live, three children she adored, who adored her, and many other good relationships. She was not going to simply lay down and let her husband kill her - she fought back.
Dirk decided he had to see the plan through, and rid himself of her once and for all. Once he got her on the ground, he switched weapons and continued his violent onslaught with a knife, viciously cutting her throat and stabbing her repeatedly to her body. He told police they might find his skin under her nails, because she had given him a massage that morning, a chilling alibi confirming she had fought to defend herself during his knife attack.
In killing his wife, Dirk Greineder devastated their three children, and everyone who loved her. This is powerful narcissism - just because he no longer valued or needed May, he felt he had the right to permanently remove her from those who did! He refused to take responsibility for his wicked act, and put his own children through the ordeal of a harrowing, high profile murder trial. His Not Guilty plea was a final roll of the dice to try and get away with murder. Like the worst narcissists, he is pathologically self-serving, and has no shame.
He killed the woman he made marriage vows to, merely to avoid a divorce and the fair division of marital assets. All he achieved with his sickening crime, was the devastation of a family, ending his wife's life and effectively his own. Now aged 83, he has spent over 20 years behind bars. During that time, the three children May bore him, have only seen him within prison walls, with uniformed security guards and cameras ever-present.
He missed out on his own, beautiful family, didn't get to play with his grandkids - and his violence to the family matriarch, cast a permanent, black shadow over the Greineders forevermore. What a loser!
