Pastor Puts His Life Back Together After Wife's Murder

[@denicetaylor4657]

My daughter and one of her friends worked in the nursery at his church. I attended there one Sunday as well. I really enjoyed the service! I had been sick and my daughter told Pastor Davey that. He came to our home with a bag of food from Maggianos!! He was so kind! He even asked if I needed help around the house with anything! I was absolutely heartbroken and devastated when I saw this story about his wife!!! I’m so glad he has found love and forgiveness!! May the Lord continue to bless you, your family and your church!! 🙏🏽❤️

It has been so many years but when I hear your story, I still mourn for my sister. My brother-in-law was a pastor too. At 10:00 am while he was at work, an intruder broke into my sister''s home where she and 2 of her 3 young children were starting their day. My sister was raped and strangled to death. There was no reason. Her babies were unharmed physically. I shove it out of my mind. Why? She was so giving and loving. WHY?! Her daughter, my niece, died last year 30+ years after her mom. She doesn't remember her mom, my sweet sister. How do we forgive? I still miss my sister. Thank God I believe, but it is still so hard...like it was yesterday. My tears will never stop. The killer was never found.

I remember this story back in 2015, the couple had a starter home and the area was changing geographically in Indianapolis. It is always smart to have a home alarm system installed and a plan in place in the event that your home is invaded or broken into. I am happy to see that Davey was able to move forward in life, Amanda would have wanted that for Davey and Weston.

I saw this story awhile back on You Tube and I got the impression that he had hired those guys to murder his wife. And he left the door unlocked even though it was dark outside when he left? And his pregnant wife and child were in the house alone? And he left later than usual for the gym. And their dog didn't deter her murder? And after the gym, he was in his vehicle outside his home for a long time talking to a friend, so he wouldn't wake them? I don't remember all the details anymore. There was another case of a wife who poisoned her husband with Fentanyl and wrote a book for her sons about their dad.

This is not a conspiracy theory channel!!! Geesus, the story tells you exactly what happened!!

Taylor allegedly wanted to kill the occupant because he he had been seen on camera, but Watson and the third man convinced him to leave. They took off in a stolen car and drove to another home, where they stole televisions, a laptop, the documents say. The three men then turned their attention to a third target - the Blackburn’s home.

No home security system? Were the doors unlocked? I'm confused how they got into the house. He did admit that they leave the doors and garage open.

My sister lived in that neighborhood for 25 years, were there when this happened and didn't move until 2020. NEVER in those 25 years did they NOT have a security system!! That aside, I don't care where you live don't EVER think you're safe that's just foolish. I believe they only had one key and there was some reason why he left the door unlocked--I think he left her the key, I can't recall completely but there were a LOT of strange things. I have always thought he was involved somehow--Idk how--but somehow. As a believer/follower of Jesus Christ myself, I find it odd that he, a PASTOR, doesn't mention HIM one time in this interview. He spoke about Amanda but I don't think he mentioned his unborn daughter either. I could go further with other things that didn't make sense in this case but this is long enough already. This case always has me unsettled.
