On the contrary the two of them gone made a lot of his financial problems go away -

Without the wife the forensic accountant could no longer look into his law firm statements to discover the embezzlement

Also his insurance refused to cover his son in the wrongful death suit brought by the boat victim’s family. Hard to sue the father if the kid is dead.[/quote]

I have a hard time seeing this. Why would the investigation into financial improprieties stop because the wife is dead? If his embezzlement is from the firm, the wife's discovery of the problems is meaningless, the other partners will discover it soon enough. And if Alex's own insurance wouldn't cover his adult son's liability -- which seems reasonable, as the son was an adult -- why would Alex have to cover it? Son declares bankruptcy, dad says tough break, and dad doesn't lose any money other than what he chooses to pay for his kid's lawyers. I'm just still completely stumped at Alex's motive for the double murder.[/quote]

It was Alex's boat that the son was driving when the accident and death happened, so I think he could have been and still could be held civilly liable for her death and the other kids injuries. I don't think it changes whether or not he had motive to kill his wife and son, but murder isn't necessarily logical either. It kind of seems like he'd led this charmed life with tons of power/money/privilege handed to him from birth and he made a lot of poor decisions and it was about to come crashing down around him. Who knows what a desperate person might do.[/quote]
