Pastor’s Wives Died Years Apart. Now Both Cases Are Under Investigation
from Murder Files Unsealed · host AC Wilson
Law enforcement agencies in Kentucky and Oregon have recently reclassified the deaths of two former wives of a retired Seventh-day Adventist pastor as homicides. John Thomas Bridges, who has buried four of his five wives, is now a named suspect in the 1993 death of his second wife, while the 1972 death of his first wife remains under active investigation. These decades-old cases were originally ruled accidents, but advancements in forensic analysis and new information led detectives to reopen the files. His current wife recently separated from him after learning of his criminal suspicion, noting that he had been dishonest about his marital history. Although two other spouses also passed away, those deaths are currently attributed to natural causes or illness. No formal charges have been filed, but authorities are cooperating across state lines to seek justice for the victims.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/murder-files-unsealed--6017387/support.This episode includes AI-generated content.
