I had never heard about this story before this show. My comment is based on the assumption that the depiction of the cops on the scene is accurate. They thought Russell's 911 call was "over the top??" I thought he was unbelievably controlled. If my husband came home and found me dead in any manner, particularly violent and bloody but even simply natural causes, he would be so beyond hysterical that the 911 operator would not be able to understand anything he was saying. How can you love your spouse and not be legitimately "over the top" If you come home and find them not only dead but brutally killed or self-inflicted? Maybe they didn't love their wives all that much.
