Pastor Davey Blackburn shares tribute to pregnant wife Amanda who was shot dead | Daily Mail Online

I hope I'm wrong, but something feels fishy about this. Does he seem to talk a lot, or is it just me?

Suspect in Indiana Pastor's Wife's Murder Caught on Video, Police Say - ABC News

Looks like I'm wrong. I should learn to be more prudent before jumping to immediate conclusions.

You would be right 99.9% of the time. Especially if the man involved has a good alibi.

Doesn't mean he didn't hire someone.

Maybe the husband knew the neighbors would be gone so he had the guys burglarize that house to throw everyone off the track. Then they were to wait there until they saw him leave and then go kill his wife.

You never know! But it's possible.

BTW I couldn't find a video of him talking. Or are you referring to his statements in the printed story?

Only a 10% chance she was killed by someone she didn't know.

Saw your update after posting....

How was it determined she was trying to defend the baby?

First Link:
]She was trying to defend her son from a burglar when shot, police said Her husband, Resonate Church pastor Davey Blackburn, found his wife wounded at 8.30am Tuesday after returning from the gym

Second Link:
Converse said that the Blackburns' dog greeted investigators when they arrived at the home, and the couple's young son had been in the house at the time of the incident, though he was upstairs in his crib.

Maybe it is my natural skepticism, but something seems off about this. I really cannot say what it is, but it just feels off.

Based on the other posts in this discussion, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who agrees with you on that.

Sorry; yes, from the printed statement he released -- the first link, which he posted on "Facebook." Seems kind of long-winded, and phrases like "laugh together," "celebration service," "hopeful and confident," "good things will come of this" seem out of place:

Quote:
Services at the church will take place on Sunday as usual, but Davey Blackburn said that the community will gather at 5pm at Traders Point Christian Church to celebrate his wife’s life. "We are going to worship, share the gospel through sharing Amanda’s story, laugh together and cry together. Her heart would be that you invite as many people as possible to this celebration service that do not know the Lord," he wrote on Facebook.


"Davey Blackburn posted a statement on his church's website thanking everyone for the support.
The statement read: 'It's impossible to communicate all the emotions my heart has been forced to process. My wife was such a beautiful, gracious, loving woman of God.
'I have not only lost my ministry partner and support but also my very best friend. There is no way to prepare yourself for circumstances like these.
'As deeply as I am hurting I am hopeful and confident that good things will come of this. I rest in the truth of Romans 8:28 that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose.
'Thank you for understanding my desire to take these next few days to continue to grieve for Amanda Grace.

It doesn't say how long they were married, but it couldn't have been long; before they married, they had a "long-distance relationship" and supposedly remained celibate during that time. And they had another kid on the way.

His face gives me the creeps for some reason. Sort of reminds me of Scott Peterson.

I don't feel right about it.
