What a weird case. The husband's statement was odd to me but I'm an atheist so I may be missing the subtleties. On the one hand I understand that he was reassuring his congregation that the church will continue to flourish and that he won't abandon them. OTOH though, I found it jarring that he was referring to his wife in the past tense even while she was still alive.
IOW, what if a church member had terminal cancer and was in hospice? Would he and church members begin eulogizing him/her even before they passed away? Wouldn't they all instead pray for a "miracle?" Ah well, I'm not the best person to analyze such things. The call for money seemed to come quickly too but I guess it had to in order to pay for the burial.
Anyway, my point is that things feel a little hinky to me too but I'm still open to the possibility that the perp is an acquaintance or a stranger. Maybe the press conference will shed more light on the case.
