Gambsky trial

[KeaauRich]

I have a hard enough time digging little holes to put in anthuriums, let alone one big enough and deep enough to contain an entire human body. It certainly does, at a minimum, beg some questions...

did this happen in Puna? Did he rent a jack hammer to dig?

lol, separation anxiety is when Tony Perkins keeps his dead mother in a chair in the living room for years and years and dresses up as her to inspect the motel shower ,,. [:p]

Question: has Gambsky admitted to burying her in their yard for some reason, or is he, like OJ, saying we need to look for the "real killer" -- who not only killed her but buried her literally under the nose of her loving husband?

I donÔt think Gambsky needs to worry about prejudice coming in so much as explaining away a very damning set of facts to any human beings with brain activity.

The whole town was buzzing with missing posters and a campaign to find her. If he had buried her innocently after a natural death, it would have behooved him to tell her loved ones they could stop searching for her.

I recall reading in the paper that Gambsky's story is that he came home and found his wife had hung herself. He panicked and buried the body because he feared being accused of murder. He could hypothetically use a similar defense to that of Robert Durst, who admitted to shooting his neighbor and then chopping up the body. I don't know if the result will be same for Gambsky though.

As I recall, the original story was that his wife had taken off to parts unknown, taking her dog with her. When the dog suddenly reappeared, his girlfriend started asking questions and the "I found her hanging" story emerged. Ironically, her mother lived in Pahoa, but it was wife's friends on Kauai (or one of the other islands) who missed her after six months and started raising red flags that something might be amiss.

I can think of two cases where the defendants were caught with dismembered human bodies. They were trying to dispose of the remains but were later found not guilty of murdering the people.

Did he admit to burying her? Is there a news article that says that? And about the wifes dog missing also and suddenly reappering? I never heard about either of those details.

Ive read everything I can find and I havent come across anything that mentions a missing dog admittance of burying his wife in the yard. Are there more details?

Here are two articles that say his girlfriend reported to police that he told her he came home and found his wife hanging.

Bad news for him, is that he lied to the police and took a failed polygraph right before they found her.

On July 27th, he told detectives she may have moved away, and he hadnÔt seen her since January.

On August 4th, his girlfriend made a statement to the police that she had asked him what really happened and he said he had found her hanging in the carport back in January.

On August 8th, they executed a search warrant and found her.
The autopsy showed traumatic injury.

It doesnÔt say he buried her, but it is strongly implied. He didnÔt tell his girlfrIend that he left her hanging. He didnÔt call the police, She was found buried in a shallow grave in the yard. Even his own story that she committed suicide does not point to anyone else who buried her.

Sounds like the question is did he bury her after she committed suicide, or did he kill her?
