I love how you made the wife into the evil one ... despite the fact that if you are right, she was completely in the right and nudged him to do the unambiguously right thing.

Also, per article, Ted cut most contact off whe he found out the brother is marrying and they were living isolated life with little to no in person meetings ... so the idea that she somehow needed to get rid of an absent person ... sounds mostly like motivated reasoning.

Get rid of doesn't just mean get the body away from their proximity. Ted wrote David letters about how much he disliked the woman and marriage. The wife and Ted hated each other by my assessment.

I don't think her obsession with matching up Ted to the Unabomber was driven by evil. It was driven by hate. Hateful people can do good things.

Or maybe it wad driven by realization he is likely the person killing people.

Considering it was Ted who had the provable track record of being the hateful one ...

Who knows? Maybe David's wife was the very first person to ever tell her spouse, "Your brother's an asshole."
