Many years ago, I used to write "The Wolves Wire" where I occasionally would write a piece of fiction. Here is a new fiction item. Enjoy
Hypothetically, let's suppose that you are a 37 year old woman and you find out that your hubby, father of your four kids, was heading off on vacations with his little slutty mistress that he met at a sports bar. And suppose you gutted that out because you were not made to look THAT bad because it was not a public humiliation. But then you find out that he was just was in the car he bought for his 20 year old girlfriend when she got a DUI citation. Now suppose you are not real happy about it because that will be a public report. Suppose you call up a friend of a friend and see what you would have to pay to, say, off hubby? And suppose he says he knows someone who can get into the girl's apartment, make it look like a suicide, and then shoot hubby and make it look like a crime of rage.
Then suppose that the guy actually does it. You claim surprise and move along with your life. Hopefully St.....er....Hubby has paid-up life insurance and you move along with the four boys, all happy like. Cheating MFer of a hubby? Dead.
Now there may be a few small issues, like the gun ending up under the body of the "suicide" victim, or maybe that the 20 year old and Hubby were extremely happy together and she was planning to marry him and had no reason to shoot either herself or him. None whatsoever....at all....And maybe someone looking closely at the issue might ask how a 20 year old who is about 5 feet tall was able with her very recently-purchased gun to riddle the body of a 6'4" very athletic man with 4 bullets, all in killing zones before he got anywhere near her.
But suppose you are in a southern town where minority-on-minority violence doesn't exactly skyrocket up the list of city prosecutor concerns.
Maybe you can get a quick murder-suicide determination and move on with your life.
So that, maybe, is how you might commit the perfect crime.
End of Story.
On a completely unrelated matter, the Steve McNair evidence now seems to point to a murder-suicide determination:

That's all very interesting, but if you want this to sell, you'll need to jazz it up with all sorts of detail as to the sexual relationship between hubby and his girlfriend. The more graphic, the better.
