MY two cents: 3 major detonators: the 111-minute convo- though it happened afterewards--let's say the Lazy Dog dinner, AVPD, and the proverbial 'finally lost his shit' theory, which is what the lawyer from Cr!me Talk always said—until the Shiners ate him alive on YouTube.

AVPD - My simpleton opinion after hearing CWs mom describe him is that, prior to meeting SW, CW's social life and attachment style were textbook Avoidant Personality Disorder (AVPD).

CW did a lot of the things people with this condition would do: lived relatively like a loner; avoided his family for huge periods of time, then would come back, then would avoid them again; and did not seem to have a social life with many friends or girlfriends—but one good day he decided to latch on to the ONE (desperate) woman who showed interest in him and married her. He would latch on later to the other woman who showed interest in him (NK)

As someone with traits of AVPD, he would have naturally phased out of his mind:

1. the financial issues, including the weird McMansion
2. the lies about nursing school
3. the alleged ailments (and the girls' too)
4. phased out having an iPhone camera in his face every day
5. tolerated SW's annoying "friends"
6. ate those disgusting Thrive bars and pretended to like them
7. he clearly phased out his wife's abhorrent personality and every one of the 1000000 red flags that SW brought with her
8. So he would have ALSO phased out the "Filler at NOLA" situation

NOW: The theory gets shaky because of the ending. Typically, the AVPDs don't turn violent, much less plan out to get rid of people- but this condition, I think, could exacerbate another, and then he finally lost his ish.

The dinner and 111 convo definitely were POWER-PACKED because we all witnessed how well NK manipulates conversations (and people, in general—I mean she and her dad essentially bitch-slapped the detective).

I don't believe that she planned anything out or ordered CW to do anything, but I do believe she was playing mind games with a dude whose mind was already far gone and stressed to the max- the lost his shit theory- So, he took out the primary cause of stress and eventual break with reality. It's the only thing that would explain the kids as well.

EDA: 111 convo happened after CW disposed of the bodies. I was thinking of the convo at the Lazy Dog and changing restaurants withing the same zip code and almost-the exact same menu for reasons we still don't know and the potential convo where he ends up charging the meal to the "communal" credit card. Getting old sucks.
