This is a replay of a previous episode that had a few gremlins in it. My apologies.
The marriage between Erin and Simon Patterson deteriorated over years despite multiple reconciliation attempts, leading to their separation and financial division. Despite maintaining strong ties with Simon's family and co-parenting their children amicably, this marriage ended in an act so horrific no one saw it coming.
• Erin maintained strong relationships with Simon's family even as her own marriage was falling apart
• The couple separated many times by the end of 2015 with Erin moving into a rental property
• They divided assets without lawyers
• Female mass killers are statistically rare, with only 11 homicides involving extended family annually in Australia
• Research shows marital conflicts can extend to in-laws when they intervene in troubled marriages
