A pastor in Homewood, Alabama wrote emails to his secret boyfriend, detailing dreams he had of killing his wife. Naturally, this specific sort of love letter isn’t working out so well in hindsight, now that his wife is dead and the pastor is the main suspect.
Richard Shahan, according to Alabama.com, bitched about not being able to live his best life without losing his children and his job as the head of Birmingham’s First Baptist Church.“I’m in a legal marriage contract [sic]. There is not an acceptable way for me to dissolve that and continue with the things that are important to me (my job and children)…There is only one way I could become legally ‘single’ and I have to wait until God grants me that gift. It will come; the woman I live with is slowly killing herself – she is diabetic and refuses to take care of herself physically. Her mother died early with the same disease and did the same thing to her body. So I pray and wait. It will happen in God’s timing.”
Prosecutors say that Shahan stabbed his wife Louise Shahan two years ago and planned to run off to Europe to marry his boyfriend. He wrote emails to his boyfriend about that too.
