Amazing expression of religious tolerance, part 2353
Police Charge Pastor's Wife in His Slaying in Tennessee
Apparently, Mary Winkler had enough of being married to Matthew Winkler, the pastor of Fourth Street Church of Christ in Selmer, TN. Not one to just get up and walk out on her man, she shot him and fled to Alabama with the couple's three children. When apprehended she admitted the whole thing.
Case closed, except for WHY. The locals who went to Winkler's Church were at a loss... but that didn't stop them from talking to NYT reporter Theo Emery (obviously working on his own, In Cold Blood):
"I don't know what her reason is," said Betty Wilkerson, the church secretary. "I know we'll probably find out in the weeks to come. But I'm not going to judge her."
And then there's this...
Mr. Winkler's effusive energy "just wore you out," Ms. Sparks said with a laugh. She said she knew nothing about the family that would have predicted the killing."Everything you saw belies what has happened," she said. "It just doesn't go together. There's something amiss, and we don't know what that is."
Still, Ms. Sparks said, it had only been a year since the Winklers had come to town, and it was hard to know if something lay beneath the surface.
"When you get right down to it, we didn't know these people," she said. "But do you ever know anybody? We don't really know what goes on when they go home and close the doors."
