I have a question.....
Sometimes, there are stories in the news that I read and I think no more about them. Then there are times where, for whatever reason, I read a story, and find myself captivated . I'll Google it every day to try to find updates, I'll read every news source available on it. Kyron Horman was one. Amanda Blackburn is one. I can't even tell you why exactly, but the moment I read about it, I had the feeling something was way off about it. It didn't seem as cut and dry as what I read. I still don't know if I think Davey had anything to do with it or not. I would like to know what it was about this case that made you guys unable to stop thinking about it.

DeleteWhen I initially heard about it and how quickly he was cleared, I thought it was so odd. I kept googling "Is DB guilty?" I finally landed on SA. The first GMA interview I thought he was pulling himself together enough to honor her and share the gospel. However, the Inside Edition interview smelled so fishy! The attempted tears and the twisting of the ring drew my suspicions very high!!
ReplyDeleteI don't really follow cases but this one just gets to me. The possibility that a husband may have been involved in killing his beautiful bride and unborn baby but continues to run a church and have followers is just too much. This case has also brought up a lot of church dysfunction that I had no idea existed.
I first read an article about it and then I read Davey's statement. The statement was the first "off" thing for me. Then as we learned of all the "coincidences", I was unable to stop thinking about this one.
ReplyDeleteI learned of the case while reading comments on another case on Peter Hyatt's Statement Analysis blog. Someone pointed out Davey Blackburn's Resonate videos and I could see there was something way off about him (like his mentor pointed out at Amanda's memorial service). Davey's lack of shock, love, fear...anything real in those TV interviews, made me more and more suspicious. Learning all the odd coincidences and the behavior of his intern/babysitter, Meg Griffiths made me feel sure Davey was involved in the murder, either by doing it or ordering it. His rush to further his "ministry" claiming the death was all good and nothing was wasted was alarming. Peter's meeting with a large group of detectives and other professionals where everyone agreed that something was hinky just reinforced my confidence that Davey did it and he will one day be outed.

I first read about this horrific crime in the headlines on my pc. When I read DB's statement in the article, I could not believe he could be saying this just days after she was murdered. Christians grieve. Where was his grief, sorrow, sadness, and love for his wife, and unborn child? I had been reading SA for years and saw red flags immediately, but I think even if I wasn't familiar with SA, I would have thought something is not right. Anyway, I went to Peter's site and found I wasn't the only one. When I saw his interviews, it confirmed in my mind that he was not grieving.
ReplyDeleteI have been following true crime stories for a long time. There are just some cases that grab me like this one. I don't know why, but it often has something that I can identify with from my own life, combined with that weird, something's really off, feeling. The first one I remember getting really hung up on was the Trenton Duckett case in Florida.
ReplyDeleteThis one caught my attention from the first OT comment with Davey's statement that was posted on Peter's blog. It was just so off. I have been around a lot of different Christians of many stripes. My grandparents were missionaries, and so are an aunt and uncle of mine. My mom's family is more evangelical fundamentalist (which I was raised) and my dad's skews more mainline protestant. I converted to Catholic almost a dozen years ago. Of all these Christians I know, none of them would behave the way Davey did. Close friends of ours lost a child right at term and the mother came close to losing her life. There were visible signs of Christ at work in a powerful way even within the tragedy, but everyone still mourned and still misses the little boy that was lost. I would classify this family among the most devout and faithful Christians I know.
Still I am reserving a little judgment on the chance that Davey is uninvolved. When I finally watched the Worship as Weapon sermon, it made it that much harder to stay on the fence. There is so much leakage.
I think Peter has decided not to make any further comment unless and until the 911 call is made public. I probably can't get all the way off this darned fence without it, either. It might be that Davey just is incredibly lucky, in getting rid of an unwanted wife which also became a financial boon, and could have given him a much wider public platform if he wasn't just so creepy and weird that people can't relate to him.
I became interested in this case, because I couldn't get it off of my mind. I was reading an article on a Christian site, and their picture was in the side margin. That was the beginning. The more I investigated, the more disgusted I became with the inconsistencies. Eventually, I thought that it might be a good idea to see if anybody else felt the same way, since it was causing me so much uncertainty. I found his affect to be incredibly off. When I learned that he had left the door unlocked then I knew it was game over, and I haven't been able to put it down since. I can't say that I think he is guilty. I am just disgusted with his behavior and lack of accountability. It appalls me that he is actually a pastor.
