Doesn't seem right.  Husbands that are cheated on take out the wife of guy they are cheating with, not themselves.  Dude had too much going for him for this to go down like it has.  I smell a staged offing.

Harman with his wife and daughter lived in Woodbridge, a south Kansas City neighborhood where average home values in 2009 were $245,048 and the median household income $58,429. So from appearances anyway, he wasn't living wildly over his head.

What then might have caused Harman to hang himself from the rafters of his house while his family slept?

I'm not going to go into it here, but the talk in law enforcement is that Harman was spoken to by police very recently about the possible reopening a cold case crime in another city. If true, count on the news breaking fairly fast.

I'll be looking into it later today and try and report back as to whether there's any truth to that rumor.

That is the average income for the area.  The logical assumption would be that Don was making more then 58,249 as a netowrk weatherman and TV personality in a decent sized city.

Huisentruit was an anchor at KIMT in Mason City at the same time Harman worked there before leaving in 1999 to come to Kansas City. Like Harman this week, Huisentruit failed to show up for work around 4 a.m. on June 27, 1995. She was never heard from again and declared dead in 2001.

Having loaded up on suicide reading and feedback lately, the combination of severe depression and the holidays well could have played a role Harman's sad, lonely final act. Then again, sources say Harman was handsomely paid - six-figures - and given Fox 4's generally strong ratings and Harman's popularity with viewers, it would not appear - on the surface anyway - that finances were an issue.

Granted, it's from KC Confidential so take it for what it's worth.

Horrible benefits.

Also, yes....horrible money.  Especially the KK guy.  I mean, he owns the rough ridin' place and he is making $80-$100.  Pfft.  Hopefully this doesn't account for his 810Zone money.

Coworker's friend in law enforcement said it wasn't  :goodbyecruelworld:  , but asphyxiation with helium.  Apparently it's the new thing to do because it makes you  :zzz: before you croak.     :dunno:

That isn't heat of the moment oh-snap-cops-are-after-me stuff.  That is researched and I-know-I-want-to-kill-myself-but-haven't-fully-decided-on-the-when-part-thinking.

It would take less than a day to research easy methods/procure helium.  Though if you're gonna do it you should do it before all the helium is gone.
