Couple found shot to death in Columbus, young kids and dog in home unharmed

[Anonymous]

You can tell just looking at the surgeon’s photo that something is very “off” about him (and probably always was-based on the very brief marriage).

I don’t find anything unusual about this whole story otherwise.

Surgeon guy probably has mental health issues or is an abuser, addict etc. He would’ve known that he would be a prime suspect and be caught fairly easily- and didn’t care (or was entirely out of his mind). As someone else said, he might have intended to kill himself as well and then couldn’t go through with it.

At least he didn’t harm the kids or the dog.

I’d bet all 3 knew each other at Ohio State University.

The person who called her a “gold digger” is gross.

But marrying two doctors? Very low odds of that happening for any given American woman. That is the truth.

Most DCUM posters don't consider dentists to be doctors.

What about the woman who answered the phone when dispatch called after the 911 hang up, who was that?

It was reported that they met online -- not sure when. I believe all involved attended Ohio State -- dentist, wife, and surgeon. Her degree was in early childhood education; she worked at a daycare at some point.

Sounds gold digger-ish.

Can you try and not be a hortible person?

Different poster and this has nothing to do with the murder but it does seem that she was looking for men with money and wasn't really anticipating contributing much financially - which is kind of what a gold digger is. Just like when men with no money date rich women and live off of them. You just need to be attractive to pull it off.

A not insignificant number of women know from a young age that they want to be stay at home mothers and raise kids. To do that you need to have a husband who works and makes decent money. In order to get a guy like that, you need to bring something to the table – good looks, good education, and a decent personality. These women often get a degree in an early childhood education in order to prepare themselves to be better mothers. I personally know a handful of family than our social circle who we have gone down this well-trod path.

Exactly. I have friends that only dated doctors. They knew their priorities.

But it becomes a problem if you overlook red flags just because someone is a surgeon (or any type of high earner) just to win the "prize" of a privileged life. Not saying that necessarily happened here; perhaps he changed right after they got married.

I think the back door was probably unlocked and he let himself in through the door and found them upstairs in their bed and surprised them. There was no sign of a break in even after the coworkers went inside so that leads me to believe a door was unlocked.

Leaving a back door unlocked in an urban area with a back alley would not be wise and doesn't seem likely.

I find it somewhat unusual in that 10 years had passed since the divorce, the surgeon was living in an entirely different city but apparently had not remarried or moved on, and there were no child custody or alimony issues.

Not at all. I'm married to a doctor, have lots of doctors in my family, know lots of doctors. The odds of my meeting another one, were I to divorce, are pretty high.

It's all about who is in your social circle.

He looks like those Garbage Pail Kids of yore. Is it the low-set ears?

Nobody looks good in a mug shot.

It’s super common for white male surgeons to be former jocks. He has a muscular face. I’d be curious to see a normal photo of him. I bet he looks like an all American middle aged athlete.

+1 it is unusual that he couldn’t get over their marriage/divorce in the last 10 years.

Makes me assume there’s more to it, ex. the two men knew each other from college.
