Police probe death of pastor's wife
Police probe death of pastor's wife
Not that I'm trying to defend anyone here because I'm not and I really don't know what happened. But this certainly feels like the public and the media has already determined who did it and pronounced guilt here. And there is a good chance they are right. But if they are wrong they are going to be only adding pain onto more pain.
I just don't think that's a healthy way to approach this situation. Let the cops do their jobs.
I'm not sure why this is so hard to do in todays society. Let it play out and our system work.Not that I'm trying to defend anyone here because I'm not and I really don't know what happened.

"Let the cops do their jobs"
These are rural cops who would be all too happy to close the case as a suicide. Jailing pastors is about as popular with rural cops as are the people who film cops. The public scrutiny in this case is good and needed. This pastor is a confirmed scumbag who groomed this victim starting at age 14.

I'm not saying that there shouldn't be some scrutiny. But it doesn't sound to me like the cops said it was suicide, sounds like that's what her husband quickly claimed.
He's sus don't get me wrong but when people are holding protests outside his former church it seems like they made up their minds.
Part of the problem is the social media fixation for internet sleuthing, and sometimes they do solve the cases, which just adds to its popularity overall. News infotainment like NBC Dateline, Forensic Files, etc. are wildly popular with certain segments of the populace. Everyone thinks they're a damn detective these days.Dunning-Kruger Effect.
The speed at which you can get initial information on the internet allows you to know just enough to make you feel like you've solved the case.
But the thing is to me is from the limited stuff I saw no one has said what the cause of death actually was. The Pastor says suicide. But suicide by what method? Cops and medical examiners haven't had time to fully do their jobs yet.

The COD was a gunshot wound to the head. I think why this has picked up steam is that the case has crossed state lines and her family was concerned that North Carolina would just treat it as a routine suicide. The now dead wife's body was found in a state park in North Carolina in late April. The local police in South Carolina had numerous documented interactions with the wife, in particular since last October when she filed divorce papers. The papers were served just a few days prior to her death. She reported being followed and shadowed by the same vehicle numerous times since October and had told friends and family she was concerned for her safety. When talking to a local police officer about obtaining a restraining order, the officer observed the stalker's vehicle slowly driving by before quickly speeding away. Her vehicle's tires had been slashed several times (the husband has apparently admitted to doing this) and when the car tires were being repaired the mechanics found a tracking device attached to her car.
The pastor is innocent until proven guilty, hell he may never be charged for anything here, but color me skeptical that the wife who told her sister, "if I end up with a bullet in my head, it was not by me, it was JP," decided to off herself for the sole purpose of swatting her husband from beyond the grave.

Well now apparently the Robeson County NC ME has released information regarding the autopsy. Self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.Her body was found 11 days ago. I don't know the typical speed of the release of autopsy results but they ruled the first Boeing whistle blower a suicide fairly quickly. I know that isn't the typical case and none of these cases are the same. Nothing I have seen from this case says to me that the cops had much interest in protecting this woman while she was alive or bringing her justice after she died. That may have changed now that locals and then outsiders started making a lot of noise.
I'm not sure why this is so hard to do in todays society. Let it play out and our system work.

This has been going on for 100's if not 1,000's of year. Lynch mobs? In the 1800's if they thought you were a horse thief they just rounded up the pose and came looking for you and shot you dead. If society things you did something criminal they are going to come after you. Right or wrong. Just in a different way these days.Dunning-Kruger Effect.

I hope they release some supporting evidence and allow for a second autopsy…
I read somewhere that statistically women usually don't chose this method because of the damage to how they look. They usually chose OD or something less invasive.Well now apparently the Robeson County NC ME has released information regarding the autopsy. Self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

At worst the pastor was a murderer. At best he was an abusive husband. But at least he wasn't trans, amirite?
if this is such general knowledge for a crime blogger to already have details a week later it's really to bad no one was able or whiling to step in and help more while she was alive.I’m listening to a YT crime blogger. The amount of mental abuse he heaped on this woman is staggering. Unfortunately, it is likely that he will soon be back to pastoring BAU because that’s how things are done.

Why on earth would she want her family to find her? Wouldn't she want the authorities to find her instead? If I ever offed myself I absolutely would NOT want my family finding me.Wtf?
Lady: I'm going to kill myself and wanted to make sure my family can find me.
Dispatcher: ok we're all set. You're good to go.
Smh
What church has a divorced pastor who was remarried to a woman who met the pastor when she was a 14 year old member? Gross.
I don't know the whole story, perhaps many members didn't know his past, but how gullible do you have to be to become a member of a church like that.

That was difficult to listen to. What a crazy story. I figured maybe he had a gun to her head and forced her to make the call but she didn’t seem disgruntled at all really.
Husband is obviously a pos regardless.
The cult kind?What church has a divorced pastor who was remarried to a woman who met the pastor when she was a 14 year old member? Gross.
