According to the verdict, the motive behind the murder must have been that the culprit was in love with his babysitter, also a former student, with whom he also had an affair.
In order to continue the relationship with the babysitter, he chose to murder his wife.
The missing woman's body has never been found and only after the podcast "The Teacher's Pet" claimed to have found new evidence in the case was the now convicted man arrested.
That the now convicted man is guilty of the murder was established already in August this year, but now the sentence is being announced, which means that he will most likely be imprisoned for the rest of his life.
- Today a very long, painful and stressful journey comes to an end, said Greg Simms, brother of the murdered woman, after the verdict was announced.
