    I thought I saw a suppressed smile when she was talking.

    I hear no sadness in her voice. I see no sadness expressed in her face. She pauses, as if she’s thinking on her feet what to say next. She appears to have a faint smile at the end.

    “Please no questions”? Why would she say that? When talking to the reporter there’s an odd almost unnoticeable shrug from her and she doesn’t look confident. She doesn’t have the story firm, it’s like she hopes someone will fill in the blanks for her. I’d like to see what evidence the police have.

    I saw a microsmile at the end of her statement. She keeps her head down but I caught it.

    She seems kind of happy.
    The woman lakeside being interviewed after reveals she doesn’t really know anything about her.

    1. She doesn’t look the reporter in the eye 2. She shrugs her shoulder as if she doesn’t believe her own story 3. There are no signs of sadness in her face/ no tears 4. A barely perceptible smile – duper’s delight at the end of her story 5. Her last statement makes no sense – “He was struggling with the waves – then I saw him float.”

      Her last statement sounded like ‘then I just saw him flip’ which I take to meaning his kayak rolled over.

        Brent, you are right – she does say, “flip,” I thought she had said, “float.”

    a lack of distress. and almost doesn’t seem to care that much to invent a story either (not much commitment there).

    There is definitely something creepy about this women. The way she looks down as she speaks is unnerving. No sadness or concern in her voice either and she talks about her fiancée death/disappearance in such a casual manner.
    She is not upset in the least bit. Not at all.
    She doesn’t even care enough to try and fake it. I think I may have seen a bit of a smile also…dupers delight?

    She’s acting like a little kid would act if they were trying to explain how the dog broke the vase that they broke. Something like “Fido was walking around the room…. and the vase just flipped”

    I saw what the other people saw. She appeared sneaky and wouldn’t look the interviewer in the eye. I didn’t see any sadness, and I saw a little smirk on her face. I don’t know how she did it, if she did, but she could have hit him with the paddle. He could have been addled to the point that he drowned.

    Oh my goodness, I can’t tell the difference in head position between her and Susan Smith … both looking down and reading a grocery list. Wow.

    It’s so obvious what a bad liar she is. I don’t even know if she took the time to rehearse anything.

    I’m curious, Eyes, what percentage of people have convicted themselves by virtue of telling stories, or talking to police without a lawyer? (Not the forced false confessions, but the ones who are trying to paint a rose garden).

    And Arias, she probably could have gotten away with murder and the ol’ abusive boyfriend self defense strategy if she hadn’t told 20 different stories, let alone taking pictures of the murder as it occured and putting the camera in the washing machine.

    I mean, what would prompt someone to do such a thing????

      Having the gas cans in her car is what convicted her. It proved premeditation.

    I get the feeling that she hesitates in her statement, because she is trying to suppress laughter. I, also, get the feeling that she is getting a perverse kick out of telling how he was struggling. She is chilling.

    Their body language is not that of a loving couple. They are too far apart in that first picture in front of the waterfall, normally a romantic type of setting. My guess is they didn’t get on well.

    “she is a very sweet girl”…… who looks like a very dangerous psychopath…

    The camera cuts away when she says “and then he just flipped.” She does seem to be suppressing some amusement when describing him struggling with the waves.

    She looks like an surly, shoulder shrugging teenager who is giving barely believabe lip service to authority figures.

    I see comtempt, entitement and a “so over it already” attitude.
