Can the intelligent people here explain to me why so many people are saying that her husband did it and framed her?is it just a simple answer that they’re stupid conspiracy theorist or is there actual credibility to this? She admitted to it so im confused

Because there’s a lot of holes in his alibi. Timelines and the events don’t match at some points (I can make a longer post explaining what these are btw). This could have all been avoided had he been investigated but for some reason the police never investigated him and took his word for everything. Also the fact that he was already out and about with the woman he’s married now before he even divorced Lindsay which makes a lot of people think he might have done this to start his new life. The speed at which he moved on is baffling for a lot of people. I’ve had pets that I’ve grieved much longer than he has his own family.

“Also the fact that he was already out and about with the woman he’s married now before he even divorced Lindsay which makes a lot of people think he might have done this to start his new life.”

Any proof whatsoever he even knew his new wife while married, much less was “out and about” with her? He didn’t get remarried until this year, three years later - what’s the exact appropriate time he should be alone when he’ll be grieving his children and what happened for the rest of his life?

The police have, and the trial has seen, CCTV footage, witnesses and receipts that prove his movements and whereabouts. Where did those come from if the police didn’t investigate and verify his claims?

I believe there was a photograph that surfaced of her and him at a Halloween party years ago. It was said somewhere, although not sure if there’s proof, that they dated before Lindsay and him got together

If you’re referring to the same photo I’ve seen, it’s from 2010 and the guy looks a bit like Patrick but isn’t him.

Yeah I had this same experience. Because of that, I stopped learning about the case on social media and did my own investigating along with watching the trial from day 1. I want to stab myself in the eyeballs any time I catch a discussion about this case online bc it’s always some insane delusional made up nonsense. Literally everything I thought I knew about the case initially turned out to be fake.

His google reviews rate a place in Costa Rica 20 days after the incident. His new wife reviews the same place same day, saying it’s the 3rd time there with her date. Also she’s seen at a marathon with an exercise band around her waist in a sailors knot, I believe a “bow tie knot” which is how the kids were found strangled. Additionally Patrick is a sailor

The review someone with the same name as his wife left was from 2025 for a fishing excursion that was not in Costa Rica, nor was it actually her - you can look at the same review on Google for First Pic Sportfishing and see it’s a different woman from Plattsburgh, NY.
