Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko tētahi kaitōrangapū o Iowa i whakawakia mo te tukino i tana wahine mā te taupatupatu ki a ia i te wā kāore i taea e ia te whakaae mai nā tōna mate hē kua kore e whakawakia. I whakawakia a Henry Rayhons, 78 tau, mo te moepuku ki tana wahine a Donna Lou Rayhons i tana whare manaaki - ahakoa i korerotia ki a ia ko tana ngoikoretanga me te mate a Alzheimer te tikanga kaore ia e kaha ki te whakatau i a ia ano. Ko Mr Rayhons, i mahi 18 tau hei mema Reipa o te Whare o Iowa, i tautohe i te po e pa ana ki a ia me tana wahine i aroha, engari kaore i whai hononga moepuku. I whakaahuatia a Henry Rayhons i a ia e kopikopiko ana i tana tamahine a Sara Abbas i muri i tana whiunga i te hara mo te whakaeke i tana wahine mate pukupuku, whai muri i te whakawakanga i te rohe o Hancock. I whakawāteatia e ngā kaiwhakawā te kaipōti whai muri i te whakawakanga i muri i te rongonga o te kōti, kāore e taea e ngā whakamātautau hauora te whakamatau i a Mrs Rayhons i te wā tata nei, ā, nā tētahi atu tūroro i runga i tētahi moenga e tata ana, e kore nei e tino mōhio mēnā i pāngia e rātou, kāore rānei. I tino harikoa te kaiahuwhenua i te wa i panuihia ai te whakataunga kore hara i te whare kooti o Hancock County. Mēnā i kitea ia he hara, ka whiua ia ki te tekau tau ki te whare herehere. I a ia e korero ana i muri i te whakataunga, ka mea ia me te roimata 'kua puta te pono.' 'Kāore te aroha o Donna ki a au i huri mai i te rā i marenatia ai mātou ki te rā i mate ai ia,' i mea ia i muri i te whakataunga. 'Ko tonu te taua. I mohio tonu ia ki ahau. He wahine noa ia e hiahia ana kia arohaina.' I whakaatuhia e te take nga take e pa ana ki te whakaaetanga ina kitea he mate pukupuku tetahi o nga tokorua. I tohe te roia o te rēhitatanga, ka taea e te whakataunga hara te whakawehi i te whakapā i waenganui i ngā tokorua, i te mea ka kī ngā kaiwhakawā i te mea kāore ia i te hara, ka taea e ngā tūroro mate pukupuku ā muri ake nei te mōrearea. E whitu tau a Mr rāua ko Mrs Rayhons e marena ana, he pouaru rāua i a rāua marena o mua. I kī tonu a Mr Rayhons i kihi ia rāua ko tana wahine i te pō i pātai ai engari kāore rāua i pāne. I tūtaki te tokorua i a rāua e waiata ana i te waiata o te whare karakia, ā, ko Mr Rayhons...
I mauheretia a Henry Rayhons mo te whakaeke i tana wahine i te marama o Akuhata. I whakawakia te kaitōrangapū 78-tau-tau mo te moepuku ki a ia i roto i te whare tiaki i a ia e haurangi ana, ā, kāore i taea e ia te whakaae. I kī tonu a Mr Rayhons i kihi rāua i a rāua anō, i inoi rāua, engari kāore i moepuku. I kitea e te rōia kāore ia i te hara, ā, i kī ia i te roimata, 'Kua puta te pono'
