1. You brought up some good questions.

Here are some possible answers:

1) Maybe she didn't like to drive in large cities. I only drive into Wilmington if I positively have to. I would take public transit before I'd drive into a big city.

2) The disguise doesn't make any sense, but it does lead you to think that maybe she didn't plan on shooting herself in the end.

3) Maybe he was ignoring his wife's texts, but then checked his texts at the restaurant to see if Chapman had sent him any in explanation of her not being there. In the initial articles, I thought he called the police when he got there. If I were him and showed up at a place I thought my wife just killed my girlfriend, I wouldn't go inside either. Self-preservation.

I hadn't thought of the idea that Jen thought they might show up together and she'd off both of them, then take his car back home. If that's the case, then the disguise makes sense as well if someone saw her coming/going. I originally thought there were a string of emails/texts sent over the course of a couple of days. Which lead to the question "Why didn't Mark notify the police at that time?". I was thinking that she didn't kill him because she wanted him to live with the guilt for the rest of his days.

My friend worked closely with Chapman and saw her as a mentor. I only had met her a handful of times, same for Mark. Didn't care for her during the campaign she ran. Didn't vote for her. My immediate take - screwing around with married man - not cool. Screwing around with a direct report at work - even less cool. Considered a rising star in the DE Republican party - not surprised.

I feel sorry for Luke in this whole mess.

Also, all the glowing articles re: Chapman in DelawareOnline, NewarkPost, News Journal, etc. I wonder if there would be so many glowing articles written if the sexes had been reversed. Just a thought, but just one that keeps coming back to me. Was it today or yesterday that her family put out an press release saying that both couples were already in the divorce process. I'm sure that statement of the current situation didn't make any difference to Jen or Luke when this started happening months ago.

Hubby just threw a new angle in. Who said Jen actually sent the texts. Did her husband have her account info?
