I should think, being married to a fire chief, that she'd have heard a zillion stories about crimes and stupid criminals since they hang with the police so often. I imagine her attorney will help her to explain that it was sudden, unplannned and she just panicked. The dryer might help in that defense. Besides, no one likes to see someone get murder one on a long term marriage domestic. I know I sound flip and that is unkind. He sounds like a nice man, I expect she was probably nice, too. And they have children who are hurting. This is the type of thing that lends itself to idle speculation when you aren't directly involved but it is hell for the family.
