Why did he have to buy a shovel.

I would have thought that a pest control specialist would carry a shovel in their truck. After all a lot of pests like termites live in the ground

You have the right to remain silent - use it!

I cannot remember how many times I have said this to suspects. I admit it was most often because they were ranting and getting on my last nerve.

But every time this moron opens his mouth it becomes more and more irritating.

I have been trying to look at his version with an open mind but it is impossible. Too many statements reek of nothing more than attempts to rationalize irrational behavior.

The final straw (although I am sure he will top even this) is the implication that he felt Kahana Bay was “peaceful.” The nerve to imply he was doing the victim a favor by burying her in a peaceful setting. He gave up any right, if he ever had it in the first place, to presume it was his place to do anything beneficial for Ms. Watanabe once he took away her right to live.

His demeanor throughout this entire episode has been one of a sociopath with no remorse and no regard for the victim’s family. No more benefit of the doubt from me.

Wow! Lankford made himself sound magnanimous by giving her a peaceful send off. Bullsh*t. You killed her and now you are trying to get away with it.

Sounds good - nice guy - his heart was in the right place with the ocean burial and all.

To bad he bought the wrong shovel - Kahala Bay really is a pretty spot.

It's so hard to find Home Depot staff who know the different shovel types - or even where the shovels are !!

Anyone that can conceal their emotions while driving his wife and child to church knowing that a dead body is in that same vehicle is definately guilty of something more than an "accident". Amazing that he was smart enough to make up such an elaborate story - almost believable! Hah! Not!

And she dove out of the truck because??? Too bad this is a liberal-run state where he won't receive proper punishment, in Japan he'd be executed. Instead, the girl's parents will probrably live to see this guy stalk again. Comforting thought, eh?

Don't make generalizations about categories of people. If you are anti-religious (i.e. anti-Christian) why don't you just come out and say it? Don't hide behind generalizations.
