"Anything for You"

This was just on the ID Channel, and I noticed they never said for a fact that Mike was gay. So did his wife simply make that up or did he really have a boyfriend in Phoenix? I did wonder because not even his sisters said they went looking for him in Phoenix when his wife told them he ran off to live with his boyfriend there. She even gave them a name, so how hard could it be to track him down or see if his wife was speaking the truth. I think the wife wanted off the hook by saying she popped an abusive, low-down man and buried him in the backyard.
