Was The Boyfriend To Blame?

Supposedly, Crystal had only begun dating her new boyfriend, Hargrave, 3 weeks before she was killed. When asked about her murder, Hargrave said, “I believe he [Steven] knew exactly was he was doing. I think he knew the storm was coming in and this would help cover his tracks.” He continues, “I think I had a lot to do with his decision to do this and I can’t help but feel responsible for that.”

Could It Have Been Out Of Sheer Jealousy?

Sherriff Hawthorne had told reporters, “I think that there was probably some animosity between the husband and the boyfriend.” He goes on to explain, “There had been some tension and stress, and had been some potential disagreements,” but despite that, they are not giving more information about the ‘possible motive.’ He also said that they there are going to await the autopsy results to truly ‘determine the cause of death.’
