A Mississippi pastor has made a shocking confession of his own after he walked into his local sheriff's office to admit to killing a man three years ago and then dumping his body.
James Eric Crisp, 37, who is a father-of-two, suddenly had a flash of conscience and decided to come clean to investigators at the Monroe County Sheriff.
Crisp served jail time after being caught in a 2019 drugs bust, but before that incident he did something that has weighed on his mind ever since - he killed another man.
His drug addiction saw him end up in a fight with 48-year-old Roger Lord Taylor which turned deadly. Taylor's remains have never been found.
This week, Crisp relieved himself of the burden that was weighing on his mind and went to the police to tell-all.
'James Eric Crisp walked into my office, of his own free will, and confessed to having killed Mr. Taylor,' Sheriff Kevin Crook said, writing with an air of disbelief.

I understand that. After a conversion it is necessary.
Of what church is he a Pastor?
“Mama, I’ve killed a man.
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he’s dead.
Mama, I’d just begun
And now I’ve gone
And thrown it all away!”
I saw what you did.
The Church of Get Right with the Lord Our God!
Yeah... OK.
No. It wasn't a flash of conscience. People get those all the time, and because they flash, they are ignored.
It was a tidal-wave of repentance and acceptance of Jesus Christ, which can't be ignored, and will carry you out to sea.
It’s “Life had just begun”
Well at least Brian May is safe.
When The Passion of the Christ was released, it led to many confessions of crime by people who were so moved by the film.
With NO evidence, it may be hard to convict him. Admission may not be enough. Will be interesting to watch.
At last, a true convert, death still tragic.
Thank God that He provided us with the opportunity to repent.
There you go! Lol.
The comments at the link are very cynical.
This guy did the right thing at great risk to himself. A sign of true repentance and conversion.
May God bring resolution to this situation.

There’s a dateline you do not see very often.
Last newsworthy thing there was probably in September 1942 when I was born in the very interesting Darracott Community.
why else would he be so forthcoming
certainly against the advice of counsel
