"I THINK I DID IT" -- MURDER OF LAUREN PHELPS, NC

[HairOfTheDog]

This guy's story sets off my bullshit detector.

Yeah, mine too. I'm sure his attorney is right; there's a whole lot more to this story that will come out in the future.

Lauren's loved ones used only her maiden name in her obituary. No mention of her suspect husband whatsoever. The couple had been married less than one year before he "thinks he killed her". They were both apparently Star Wars fanatics and had a light saber duel at their wedding ceremony (weird, but whatever).



I don't like his face; looks like a phony to me. That's not evidence of anything, of course, and I might be wrong. I just doubt Phelps is what he presented himself to be. Lauren, on the other hand, seemed completely genuine and maybe a little naive.

I wonder how her family and friends felt about Matthew before the murder?
