After an accidental fall of Toni Henthorn resulting in her death, her husband, Harold Henthorn, is now charged with first-degree murder. He is now trialed for the murder of his 2nd wife during their 12th anniversary to the Rocky Mountains National Park when she fell 40-50 feet off the cliff-side in 2012. Motives for murder were not yet disclosed. Through three life insurance policies, Toni was insured 4.5 million dollars and on one of those policies, a claim was sent just 2 days after her death but no payments were made. Although there is no clear evidence from the autopsy of murder, an federal indictment stated that Harold Henthorn had "willfully, deliberately, maliciously, and with premeditation and malice" murdered Toni Henthorn. It had taken two years for an investigation including the National Park Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.

Do you think Harold Henthorn murdered Toni?
If so, what do you think his motives were?

Better job. Be sure to hyperlink correctly.
He might of murdered her or it could have been a complete accident as well.
If he did kill her it was probably for her money on her life insurance.
That's what I was thinking, the money from that would be more than enough motive to kill her.
If he pushed here off the edge of a cliff, then off course I think he murdered her. He might have killed her for money or maybe they had been fighting or something and he was really mad. It is hard to know for sure.
I think he did mudrer his wife because she most likey did not go to close to the edge willingly. It is kind of hard to tell what his motives are at this point because they have been married for 12 years.
good point, 12 years is a while before trying to get some motives.
I think it is hard to tell weather he killed her or not. I think that they should go back to the previous story that was national news a year or two ago when the wife supposedly pushed her husband off of a cliff. I think they should refer to that story so they have that as backup to see if she was charged or not and the evidence supporting it.
