Culprit

* We’re back with improved audio quality! *

After a burglar alarm was activated at the Gattis home around 11:30 PM on November 23, 2017, police found the bodies of two women inside the kitchen along with the body of a man in the front yard. All three had been shot to death by the sole person still alive on the property: Christopher Gattis. Christopher had just gunned down his wife, Jeanett Gattis, his stepdaughter, Candice Kunze, and her boyfriend, Andrew Buthorn. With a strange series of text messages, Christopher tried to sell a story of self-defense, one that would become harder to buy when the recordings from his wife’s and daughter’s cell phones were discovered.Sources:

What do a church elder, Ashley Madison, and the dark web have to do with the murder of Amy Allwine, a well-loved dog trainer, active church member, and wife and mother in Cottage Grove, Minnesota? Well, it’s always the husband, and Stephen Allwine wanted his wife of nearly two decades dead. When hiring a hitman was a bust, and sending threatening emails didn’t have the desired result, Stephen realized he would have to be the one to kill his wife. After the murder, he was confident he had committed the perfect crime, but dogged investigators would piece together the evidence that showed Stephen wasn’t nearly as smart as he thought he was.

On the morning of December 26, 1997, Nick Hacheney left his home in Bremerton, Washington, to go on a duck hunting trip. Just after 7:00 that morning, one of the neighbors noticed smoke billowing from the nearby home. After firefighters made quick work of the blaze, the severely burned body of Nick’s wife, 28-year-old Dawn Hacheney, was discovered. The newly widowed Nick was the youth pastor of Christ Community Church, a congregation that believed in prophecies and messages from the man above, and Nick had decided that God had told him to kill his wife, or, at least, that was the story he tried to sell to his mistress.

In the early evening of July 29, 2008, officers with the Mobile County Police Department entered traveling preacher Anthony Hopkins’ home on Rylands Street through the unlocked back door. The house was quiet and exceptionally tidy. Officers made their way through the home until they stopped in front of a door leading to the utility room. They opened the door and were met with the unmistakable smell of decomposition. Officers went to the chest freezer, opened it, and found a large block of ice with a hand protruding from the mass. Was this the body of Anthony’s wife, Arletha, whom her family hadn’t heard from since 2004? This discovery would lead the police to uncover even more crimes committed by a man hiding behind the facade of arighteous pastor.

Around 9:30 p.m. on November 1, 1994, Rabbi Fred Neulander walked into the living room of his Cherry Hill, New Jersey home and discovered his wife, 52-year-old Carol Neulander, lying on the floor. She was badly injured, and the ground around her was covered with blood. Fred called 911, but the woman with whom he had three children wouldn’t live to celebrate their 29th wedding anniversary in only eight weeks’ time. Investigators soon found out about Fred’s long-standing affair, but it would take one of the hitmen Fred had hired coming forward years later to untangle the bloody threads of this murder plot.

A distraught Tracy Burleson called 911 a little before 11 p.m. on May 18, 2010, crying and repeating, “Someone shot my wife.” Tracy had just returned from a quick trip to the convenience store and found his wife in the driveway of their home with a gunshot wound to the back of her head. Who would shoot Paulette Burleson, the 56-year-old wife of the pastor of one of the oldest churches in Houston? As the smoke cleared,investigators realized that things were not as they seemed, and not one, but three people whose lives were intimately entwined would be arrested for capital murder.

On April 8, 2006, Pastor Matt Baker called 911 after discovering his wife, Kari, lying unconscious in the couple’sbedroom. EMS providers and firefighters raced to her side, but Kari was already gone. Once police told a McLennan County Justice of the Peace about finding a container of the sleep aid Unisom beside a typed suicide note on the bedsidetable, he ruled Kari’s manner of death a suicide. However, when Kari’s family began to push back on that hasty ruling, an investigation was launched that revealed Matt’s long history of sexual assault and misconduct and the woman who would finally bring him down.

Around 6 PM on August 5, 2002, Pastor Michael Tabb arrived home with his two-year-old. He noticed the front door was slightly open but entered anyway. He called out for his wife, Marla, but there was no answer. He found the badly bludgeoned body of his wife clad in pajamas on their bedroom floor. Police would later note that the crime did notseem to be a robbery gone horrifyingly wrong. Nothing was stolen. Who would kill the pastor’s wife? When the police finally decided to take a closer look at the Tabb’s marriage, they would find that the good pastor did not practice the values that he preached.

When Rosemarie Cobb went to Reeders, Pennsylvania for her brother’s memorial service in October 2008, she had no idea that his suicide was tied to a man linked to two other deaths, a pastor who happened to be having an affair with her sister-in-law. After pushing for an investigation, the formerly closed cases were given a second look. His first wife, Jewel, had died after a fall down the stairs nine years earlier, and hissecond wife, Betty, had died after a car crash only months earlier. Either Pastor Arthur Burton Schirmer was incredibly unlucky, or he had a hand in at least some of the deaths of the three people around him.

When a family member chooses a residential facility or nursing home for their loved one, they expect them to be safe. When they are able to visit their relatives often, they feel confident that they chose the right place. However, without safeguards in place to advise potential employers of someone’s alarming job history and amid a global pandemic and staff shortages, the perfect situation is set for someone with malicious intent. Taking advantage of all of these things was nurse Heather Pressdee who used insulin as her weapon of choice in various medical facilities across four counties in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania from 2020 to 2023.
