There's a red flag to me. If it was rented for the family and the entire family didn't go (which it's certain in this case that they didn't), COULD indicate abuse that usually took place away from the home and congregation because someone felt ... ah ... safer doing it that way. MERE SPECULATION, OF COURSE.
Any background on either the husband and wife yet? How long married, 1st time marriage for both(?), family backgrounds, etc.?
If she rented it and never stayed there, then I wonder how long they were on the road and if they stayed anywhere?
Met in a church-affiliated college, married ten years, he comes from a line of preachers.
Matthew was a wonderful person. Everyone loved him. She was a bit weird, though. Of course thats just the opinion of an entire town and what do they know.
