The wife of a minister found dead in the church parsonage has confessed to shooting him and fleeing to Alabama, where she was found the following night with their three young daughters, authorities said Friday.

Mary Winkler told investigators she shot her husband on Wednesday, Selmer Police investigator Roger Rickman said.

Church of Christ minister. Nough said.

Elaborate please. I've been a member of the church of Christ since my mid 20's (20+ years), and I've seen absolutely nothing to substantiate your statement. It's about as outrageous as saying that all West Virginians are inbred idiots.

You are so right. My son married a member of the Church of Christ in 1988. The members, including my daughter in law, are outstanding people. They have wonderful families. They would be an asset to any community. I read a news article that referred to the Church of Christ as a cult. If you do some research you will find a lot of churches are thought to be cults. And, I might add, the Church of Christ is NOT a cult.

I don't know the reason she shot her husband twice in the back, but it's clear the message was:

"Never again!"
