QuoteYes, I was in the wrong to cheat, but the pain and humiliation I felt at the way my marriage of eight years ended — also within hours of my husband's discovery — affected me every single day for years.

Was my immediate exile from the marriage really the right thing for my husband to do? Is horribly wounded pride a good enough reason to throw away years of mutual support and, yes, happiness?

QuoteCarrie Elizabeth Romney, 64, died after falling "backwards from a seated position" from the roof of a five-story garage near a Santa Clarita apartment complex, the Daily Mail reported.

Carrie was married to the former presidential candidate's older brother George Scott Romney, 81, but the two had been going through an ugly divorce in the months before her death.

When they filed for divorce, they listed "irreconcilable differences" as the cause of their split after eight years of marriage.

QuoteMichelle Hundley Smith was first reported missing on Dec. 31, 2001. At the time, officials with the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office said they were told that Smith, 38, had been missing for weeks. Her husband told investigators that she left their Stoneville home to go Christmas shopping at a K-Mart about 20 miles away in Martinsville, Virginia.

WGHP had previously spoken with Smith's daughter in 2021, exactly 20 years after her mother disappeared.

At the time, Amanda said she would have loved to know the reason that her mother vanished, even if only to rule out anything "sinister."

QuoteThe allegations first emerged when Hughes called police herself, accusing her husband of attacking her when he found her in bed with the 18-year-old student on Valentine's Day. It is not clear if he faces charges.

In the video, Hughes tells the interrogating officer that while her actions weren't "justified," she was "physically and mentally" abused by her husband.

QuoteCosgrove found the prosecution's soap-opera theory about the motive for the killing to be credible—Zaffino killed Zack at George's behest because Zack didn't want to end the affair and he threatened to take custody of the child he fathered with George.

The child's paternity was unknown to most everyone—including Ed George—until tests were conducted after the murder. The child was in court Monday to see her mother sent to prison.

QuoteWarmus was 26 when she murdered Betty Jean Solomon, the wife of her colleague and lover, Paul Solomon.

Warmus has long maintained her innocence. But jurors convicted her in 1992, siding with the prosecution, which suggested her romantic obsession with Solomon led her to kill his wife half an hour before she met her lover for an evening of drinks and sex.

Warmus, the heiress to an insurance fortune, was arrested less than a month later.
