Law and Order In October 2006, Hans Reiser, creator of the ReiserFS filesystem, was arrested under the suspicion of the murder of his wife, Nina, who had disappeared off the face of the earth after dropping their two children off at Hans' home. The two were divorced, and fighting a legal battle over ownership of the Namesys company and the custody of their children. Even though the body was never found, he has been declared guilty of first degree murder.

Nina in Russia theory

Hans Reiser was very dumb, he should have listened to his lawyer from the start. Personally, I still believe that Nina fled to Russia, where her mother and her kids are, if I'm not mistaken. She didn't abandon them, it was only a temporary separation.

Hans was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
If true that Nina is (hiding) in Russia, I hope she'll reappear soon.

Time will show I guess...

If that's what she did, it hardly explains his OWN actions after she vanished.

I'm sorry, but murder also doesn't explain his own actions. At least not for me.
