It's a weird, weird story. That's for sure.

I related a summary of it during an Operating Systems course my final semester, when the details of his file system were covered. The professor insisted that I must be pulling his leg. I bet him lunch in front of the class that it was actually the story, he accepted, and after a quick Google check, we were off to Arby's.

I read that a few days ago. Very strange company he keeps. Based on what was said in the article, it looks to me like a lot of pretty weak circumstantial evidence. No body, no murder weapon, and only some blood that the police can't determine how long it might have been there?

If this is all they have, I'd say he walks. He's a strange duck, that's for sure, but unless there's other evidence the article isn't mentioning, I don't see how the state is going to meet it's burden here.

He and his friends (and his wife) all seem odd.

Sebastian, you may be right about the likelihood of conviction. It is just a bunch of circumstantial evidence at this point, and in the absence of a body it shouldn't be hard for the defense to argue that his wife had simply gone back to Russia.
