We don't know what is out of character for her. We certainly can"t make the claim that she is a pragmatic person. The whole drama that was playing out with Hans, his wife, et. al. created a highly charged situation where practically anything is possible. But let's say she did decide to simply leave, sans children. That would end up having the same effect as what actually transpired. She didn't have to do anything special to frame Hans. The fact that she vanished is what set off the investigation and trial. All she had to do was leave. It doesn't make sense, but it is still possible. Given the evidence, it is just as plausible she simply left as it is that Hans murdered her.

On another note, someone earlier this evening told me he heard on the television news that a major announcement in the case is expected soon and speculation is that Hans is going to tell them where the body is in exchange for a reduced sentence. This is only speculation, but it will be interesting to see if it actually transpires.
