The Christian Mother Who Executed Her Husband for Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars

A respected Christian mother in her church called 911 asking for help for her dying husband. She herself had shot him the final blow. How did a woman who taught religion to children plan the murder of the father of her children for eight hundred thousand dollars, a forged policy, and an ex-military man with a classified past? In this episode, you will discover how a clandestine affair inside a Baptist church turned into a cold-blooded murder plot. You will learn about the contradictions that sank her version of masked attackers, the policy that changed hands mysteriously, and how a piece of underwear became evidence of a planned escape to Mexico. From the first shot to her death sentence, every detail reveals a double life that the church never saw coming.
