The domestic incident that draws attention to them takes place at the coop where one of the murdered lesbian couple works.
That night he goes to the motel, she goes back up to where they've been camping, next door to the newlyweds. Speculation, sure, but it has to be.
Seeing that she's distraught, they try to comfort her, and tell her he's been creeping them out the whole time and that's why the police were called when the fight occurred.
She, freaks out and kills them, believing they have ruined her life. There could be some depressed bisexual tendencies at play here, but I do not feel qualified to speculate.
The next day she and the fiancé hit the road reunited.
She confesses to what she has done. At first, he's kind of turned on by this. "She killed for me, and now, I hold dominion over her, because I know".
They both feel somewhat liberated by the whole experience and head north.
But soon, the gravity of what she has done, begins to takes its toll.
Obsessed and wracked with guilt, she insists on turning themselves in. He wants nothing to do with this, because he's done nothing wrong.
She becomes increasingly shrill and insistent that they confess until he can't take it anymore. And he kills her.
Believing that justice has been served and he has done nothing wrong, he drives back home to Mom and Dad.
Since they never liked her that much anyway, they lawyer up and hope for the best.
Yep, that's what I reckon happened.
