No. Of course not. Varg Vikernes had the balls to kill someone himself. Not to mention it was out of self defense. This is a man with many fans, and I bet a lot of these fans idolize Tim Lambesis. Tim was in a situation and he handled it wrong. Way wrong. What has he been going through the past year? Something is up: to lose your faith, cheat on your wife and to throw away a career that has been incredibly successful is completely bonkers to me. Making over 200k a year and being a singer of a metal band? You had it made. You threw it all away because you couldn’t keep your head on straight and now you’ve let so many people down.

The funny thing is, I am not even remotely an As I Lay Dying fan and this just has been bothering me. I continue to think: What IF this was successful? Would he have brought the kids back to Meggan’s house only to “discover” she was dead? Why kill the woman you once loved and the mother of 3 children? I just don’t get it…the psychology of it all is mind boggling. Did no one in As I Lay Dying or even Pyrithion suspect anything? Was he acting different over the past year?

I know I shouldn’t feel like this, but I honestly feel sorry for Tim Lambesis. Opening up the main stage last summer and now in prison for up to 5 years. Falling way down mentally and making bad decisions, the blank stare during the arraignment. Things aren’t looking good for Tim and he looks like he is full of regret. He wouldn’t have been able to handle a homicide for hire cover up. It would have ate him alive. Not to mention he had the Killswitch Engage tour in 3 weeks. Just have your wife wiped out and then go on the road? Seems just heartless. Below is the video and the information collected about the story so far.

According to NBC San Diego, Lambesis emailed his wife in August saying he didn’t love her anymore and he no longer believed in God. He later filed for divorce and his wife learned he had multiple affairs.

Allegedly, Lambesis approached members at his gym asking if anyone knew somebody who could have Meggan killed. Authorities became aware of Lambesis’ plot and set up a sting operation.

When Lambesis met with the undercover cop posing as a hitman named “Red” on May 7th, Lambesis said “that it’s better for his children to have one healthy relationship with one parent rather than two unhealthy ones.” He told Red he wanted his wife gone.

Lambesis was specifically asked if he wanted his wife dead, and he said “yes, that’s exactly what I want.” The prosecution allegedly has an audio recording of this exchange.

After Lambesis confirmed he wanted his wife gone, he handed Red an envelope with one thousand dollars in cash, Meggan’s address, photos of his wife, security gate codes instructions on how and when to enter the home, when he would have the children in his custody, allowing for Meggan to be murdered.

This is mindblowing information, and the video above makes it all the more real. Lambesis is being held on 3 million dollars bail, and should he make the bail, he will have his passport stripped, and have a GPS monitor placed on his leg, only being allowed to stay in San Diego or visit his lawyer in Los Angeles.
