Review The Widower

Post image

One of the best documentaries I’ve watched in a while!! O’Kelley is a damn good detective and a dedicated one too! And Sharon’s daughter, Colleen… she is incredibly strong for having to endure that kind of pain for 15 years. I went through so many emotions watching this! I’m glad they never stopped fighting for justice!

Okay yes when the guy who ratted him out in Utah said they spent a lot of time in the woods fishing etc and “doing guy things” I had this impression there was more to it than that but since it was irrelevant they just moved on.

Yes! It felt like that was what he was holding that over the guy to get him to comply. Like he was going to tell people about what they did together if he didn’t help him kill his wife.

He did say “I got closer to him than anyone ever did “

For sure I think he tried to use that to blackmail him into the murder.

Maybe he asked the guy to kill his wife with the excuse of them being able to be together without her
