A Minister, A Mistress, and a Murder
As William Shakespeare wrote in The Merchant of Venice, “Even the Devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. Pastor Baker lived a double life. His wife Kari didn’t see it until it was much too late.
Welcome to another episode of The Unlovely Truth. I’m your host, private investigator Lori Morrison. Join me for another captivating true crime story, where physical, spiritual, and emotional safety takeaways are waiting for us. If you are listening, I believe you have a unique calling—to become a different kind of PI, not a typical private investigator, but a person of impact!
This is Season 4, Episode 39. Our book this week is “Deadly Little Secrets: The Minister, His Mistress, and a Heartless Texas Murder” by Kathryn Casey and our guest is Kristy Hensley. Kristy is a Licensed Professional Counselor at Seed of Hope Counseling and a Co-Founder of Indigo Hills, a 501c3 Non-Profit retreat center that helps ministry leaders find rest and recuperation.
Linda Dulin got the worst phone call any parent could get in April of 2006. A police dispatcher said there had been an accident at her daughter Kari’s home. She asked if it was one of her granddaughters, but was told it was her daughter. She called Kari’s husband Matt and asked him what was going on. He told her that Kari was dead. He said she’d committed suicide.
1 Timothy 3:1-3 NIV
Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task.
Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness,
not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
It's okay to hold leaders accountable. If somone had held Matt Baker accountable, Kari might still be alive.
