00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:11.839
It's the middle of the night in March of twenty
2
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:16.160
twenty one, and at Oklahoma, the police receive a frantic
3
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:18.440
nine one one call from the home of the beloved
4
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:25.079
pastor David Evans. It's his wife, Christie. She's screaming someone
5
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.879
shot him. She shrieks into the phone. They shot my David.
6
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:32.479
When the police arrive at the Evans little brick house,
7
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:36.280
Christie sits in the living room. Her bare legs are
8
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:41.079
shaking and her toes bounce on the turquoise carpet. Christy
9
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:44.960
is a curvy woman with long red hair and pale skin.
10
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.320
She clutches the T shirt she's been sleeping in and
11
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:51.759
pulls the neck up to wipe her tears between sobs.
12
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:57.000
We'll be married thirty years this June, she cries, and
13
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:01.039
she buries her sniffling face into her T shirt again.
14
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.400
One officer makes his way over to the bedroom. He
15
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:10.000
sees David. The covers are pulled up around him, but
16
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:14.200
his face is exposed. His head is cranked to the
17
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.040
side and blood has soaked his mop of dark hair.
18
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.400
The thick violet blood has drained down the side of
19
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.959
his temple onto the sheets and is pulling around on
20
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.239
the carpet beside their antique bed frame. David is long
21
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.719
gone from a single gunshot wound to the head. Back
22
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.519
in the living room, Christy sputters out a story she
23
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:43.000
was asleep when suddenly she heard a loud pop. She
24
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:45.319
tells the police that she ran out of the back
25
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.480
room to see if an intruder had left on foot
26
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:54.359
and realized that the door was unlocked. We never leave
27
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:58.640
that door unlocked, she says. We are diligent about locking
28
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:03.159
all the doors because there are breakings. Christy hugs herself
29
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:07.200
to keep from shivering. That she answers the questions being
30
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:12.479
thrown at her. She realizes she's now a widow. What
31
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:17.240
well they're small town of Ada think of this? And
32
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.479
more so, what will the members of their church say
33
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:41.800
when they find out that David has been murdered? Welcome
34
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:47.479
to sword and Scale Nightmares, True crime for bedtime or
35
00:02:47.680 --> 00:03:17.680
nightmare beginnings. Now, David Evans was not your typical small
36
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:23.520
town preacher. He was a little controversial and modern. He
37
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.639
talked about taboo subjects that most Christian pastors would steer
38
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:32.439
clear of, like abortion and sexuality. Probably a good topic
39
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.400
for all of us to steer clear from at a
40
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.840
cocktail party, by the way. But David was big on
41
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:43.039
marriage and fidelity, often working these topics into his sermons.
42
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.199
He told his parish to stay faithful to their spouses,
43
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:53.000
but that exploring sexuality wasn't wrong. After all. David preached
44
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.280
that God created our bodies and our sexuality and he
45
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:01.360
wanted those things to be explored. Kind of a creepy
46
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.360
thing for a preacher to say, but that's just me.
47
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:10.039
David was born in New Jersey in nineteen seventy. He
48
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.960
was one of six kids and spent most of his
49
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.360
youth free to do whatever he pleased with his time.
50
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.639
Those were the good old days. Just get on a
51
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.879
bike and ride for hours and hours and get home
52
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:26.560
whenever the hell you get home. David's older brother had
53
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.920
cerebral palsy, so his mother was preoccupied with her special
54
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.360
needs child, leaving the other siblings to kind of roam
55
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:37.600
free and do whatever they wanted. The family soon moved
56
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.439
to Oklahoma, and by the time that David was a teenager,
57
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.879
he had become a bit of a bad boy. David
58
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.399
wore a leather jacket and he had long hair, and
59
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:52.839
everyone noticed how cool he was. Christy armor was three
60
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:56.240
years younger than David, and that only made him all
61
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:59.439
that more attractive to her when he started crushing on her.
62
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.920
Christy was a waitress at the local drive in, and
63
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:06.600
David would visit her during her shifts until he worked
64
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.639
up the nerve to ask her for her number. The
65
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.279
two fell in love quickly and made big plans to
66
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:17.680
get married the very minute it was made legally possible,
67
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.600
so when Christy turned eighteen at the end of May
68
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:26.920
nineteen ninety one, they got married the first week of June.
69
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.439
The next few years, they got busy starting their family,
70
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.759
popping out three children and moving to Ada, Oklahoma to
71
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:38.360
lay down some roots. But it wasn't always easy for
72
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:42.000
David to find work, that is until he was offered
73
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.600
a job at a biblical bookstore in town and found
74
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:51.480
his calling in the church. David was completely taken aback
75
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.560
with the preachers and deacons that he met at the bookstore,
76
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:58.360
and soon enrolled in college to become a minister himself.
77
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.600
He studied at night well, Christy took care of the
78
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:05.680
house and the kids. The Evans family became very involved
79
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.800
in their local church community. After David graduated and worked
80
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:13.199
his way up the ladder. By twenty fifteen, their kids
81
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.120
had left home and David had been renamed had pastor
82
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:22.040
at the Harmony Free Will Church. Christy was always by
83
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.600
his side during sermons, helping in any way that she could.
84
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.639
The couple quickly became a staple in Ada. Everyone wanted
85
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:35.120
what the Evans had. But like I said before, David
86
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:40.959
was controversial. He talked about sexuality, and some people in
87
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.959
the parish, the boomers, were not too happy with this
88
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:51.240
hip new pastor who wasn't afraid to talk about private matters.
89
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.959
David would get death threats and some people stopped attending
90
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:59.720
his sermons. But for every person who wasn't happy with
91
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:03.560
Dave David's outlook on God, there was someone else who
92
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:10.319
found it refreshing. Isn't that how everything works? But David
93
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.240
talked about sex a lot because he was very, very
94
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:19.480
into sex. Maybe he played the perfect cool pastor in church,
95
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:25.399
but as we've seen many many times before, behind closed doors,
96
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:29.600
he was a little different. He was a sexual deviate
97
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:34.399
who wanted to explore anything and everything his wife would allow.
98
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:39.160
Now that their kids were gone from the house, David
99
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.160
and Christy had the freedom to play out his sexual
100
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:48.279
fantasies to their extreme. Now, David was a how'd you say,
101
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:51.199
a bit of a cuckold. Some of you older ladies
102
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.000
in the audience might want to look that word up.
103
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.000
It's fascinating. Just be careful where you end up on
104
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.160
the internet, anyway, to give you a sneak preview, what
105
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:04.360
he liked to do was watch Christie be with other men,
106
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:08.519
so he would spend late nights on Craigslist looking for
107
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:16.680
suitable candidates. Of course, that's when he found one that
108
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:44.799
would change their lives forever. David and Christy were now
109
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:49.120
in their late forties, empty nesters with solid jobs at
110
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.919
the church and nothing but time to explore all of
111
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:58.639
their weird, sexual, depraved fantasies. David had been coordinating threesomes
112
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.639
for the couple and had watched his wife with more
113
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.120
than fifty different men over the course of a few months.
114
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:08.840
Does that make Jesus a cuckold too? Is he sitting
115
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.360
in the chair in the corner? I know I'm gonna
116
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:14.120
get letters for this one. David spent a lot of
117
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:17.840
time on Craigslist hunting for new prospects, and one evening
118
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:21.840
he found a twenty six year old man named Khalil Square,
119
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.080
who said he was willing to meet the Evans at
120
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:29.000
a Super eight motel room for an introduction. Now, I
121
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.440
don't have to tell you that no introduction worth having
122
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:37.320
is ever done at a Super eight motel. That's a fact.
123
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:39.720
A lot of things I say here are opinion, but
124
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:44.879
that's a fact anyway. Khalil was young, black, and not
125
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.000
the type of guy you would think would be down
126
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.440
to get in bed with the Evans. He had a
127
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.080
criminal history and had spent four years in prison for
128
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:57.799
stabbing a guy in a brawl. That's the kind of
129
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.799
guy you pick up on Craigslist, by the way. He
130
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.799
was raised in a good family by loving grandparents, but
131
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.639
had made some very poor decisions early in his life.
132
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.639
He ran with a tough crowd, as they say now here,
133
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.159
he was about to shack up with the town's premiere
134
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:21.519
Christian couple. Oh boy. Christie was plump, short and curvy,
135
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:27.240
with distractingly big breasts, but he was also strangely plain.
136
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:32.679
She had flat bangs and a soft, flabby chin, and
137
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:36.840
wore too much eyeliner. She looked like someone you'd find
138
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:41.759
working behind the returns desk at Walmart, for example. Devoid
139
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.919
of sunlight and exercise. David was tall, buff and dorky,
140
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:52.200
with his pin striped shirts, lapeled leather jacket, and carefully
141
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.919
sculptured gray beard. Who knows what the hell Khalil saw
142
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.720
in them other than you know, a hole. Maybe he
143
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.919
was just maybe he was just really into being that
144
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:08.720
extra guy in the cuckold fantasy. But nevertheless, the three
145
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.840
met up at a local hotel one day and got
146
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:15.519
to know each other. And by hotel, I mean motel.
147
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:19.559
Of course. David extends his hand first, making sure that
148
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:23.960
Christy is aware of her place in this transaction. As
149
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:27.159
the two men chat, Christie sits down on the hotel
150
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:32.679
bed and crosses her legs. Khalil is cute, she thinks.
151
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:36.919
She feels an immediate attraction to him, and any time
152
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:40.279
he looks past David at her, she makes sure to
153
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.960
sneak a flirtatious smile at him. Over the course of
154
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:49.679
the conversation, Christie sits back quietly, working herself into a daze.
155
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.639
She really wants this all to happen with Khalil. He
156
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:59.159
is so young, so fit, so handsome, so dark, you
157
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:03.200
know what I mean, So much different than her husband
158
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.919
and all the other men he usually picks for them
159
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:11.559
to rendezvous with. Christy knows this is just a meet
160
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.840
and greet it wouldn't last long, but she wants to
161
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:18.320
make sure that she can see Khalil again in case
162
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.799
David isn't that much into him. Christy runs through David's
163
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.039
strict list of rules in her head. He is very
164
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:30.039
controlling over their sexual affairs. It's very confusing. They are
165
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:32.399
allowed to sleep with other people, but they have to
166
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:36.440
use fake names. They aren't allowed to communicate regularly with
167
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:39.360
the people they have one night stands with, and if
168
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.200
a threesome happens, David is in charge. Christy is just
169
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:47.360
the plaything. David has always been the dominating one in
170
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:52.600
their relationship. He is controlling and strong willed, while Christy
171
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.879
is much more mild and agreeable. But now that they've
172
00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.240
begun swinging and having their sexual trysts, she's found a
173
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:06.480
new side of herself. She has blossomed during these debaucherous
174
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:10.519
affairs and has gained new confidence from the men she
175
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:16.399
met without David. Funny how that happens. She straightens her
176
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.519
hair back and pushes her chest forward. You know, how
177
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.639
you ladies do You don't have the same tricks as
178
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:28.399
she thinks about the men she's been with who tell
179
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:33.240
her that she's fresh and sexy. But at home, David
180
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:36.919
has become bored of her, like that toy he really
181
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:40.440
really really wanted last Christmas and no longer plays with.
182
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:43.000
At this point, he only wants to have sex with
183
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:47.840
her if it involves another person. His needs are becoming
184
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.679
more deviant and more demanding. Christy is secretly finding her
185
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:57.679
own way outside their marital home, and Khalil seems like
186
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:01.919
the kind of young and dangerous type who can free
187
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:07.200
her from David's control, free her into what exactly. Who
188
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:10.399
the hell knows, But I'm not sure that rational thinking
189
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:15.879
is involved here. Something that the meeting with Khalil might
190
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:19.039
be coming to an end. Christy thinks fast and pulls
191
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:22.720
a little scrap of paper from inside her purse. She
192
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.600
fishes around for a pen, and behind David's back, writes
193
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:30.200
her name and cell phone on the tiny scrap of paper.
194
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:34.480
As David gets up to leave, Christy grabs his hand
195
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:38.639
and then tucks the folded paper in her other hand.
196
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.200
He follows her husband out, purposely leaving her purse on
197
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.080
the bed. When they get into the hallway, She tells
198
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.240
David she left her purse and runs back to the
199
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:52.720
room while he waits forgot my purse. She smiles at Khalil.
200
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:57.240
He smiles back as she grabs it and saunters out.
201
00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:01.879
She drops the piece of paper right at his sneakers,
202
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.360
making sure to catch his eye and raising her brows
203
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:10.639
before exiting the room. Khalil picks it up and grins.
204
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:16.200
She is elated. Well. Christy returns to the hallway. David
205
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.360
is waiting, annoyed. Are you ready to go? He asks?
206
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:26.360
Christie sighs and smiles, yes, my dear. Khalil texted Christy
207
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.639
the next day, and they started talking right away. They
208
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.399
arranged a time to meet when David would be busy
209
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:38.000
at work, and the sparks flew. Despite their age difference
210
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:42.639
and the fact they came from completely opposite worlds, they
211
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:48.440
were both smitten. After one night together, Khalil fell really
212
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.600
hard for Christy. She broke all the rules David had
213
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.960
set out for their affairs. She would text Khalil all
214
00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:00.519
day every day and made sure to face time him
215
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.840
as much as she could. He'd return the favor by
216
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:06.679
telling her how beautiful she was and how much he
217
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:10.279
wanted to be with her. Christy hadn't been this adored
218
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:15.720
in years. She loves being adored. She loves being at
219
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:22.399
the mercy of multiple men. Her glorious beauty just something
220
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:27.120
to be admired and pined for. Their affair was going
221
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:30.159
strong for weeks, and soon David would be going to
222
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:34.399
Mexico for his missionary trip. Christy jumped at the opportunity
223
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:38.559
to play house with her new lover, so she invited
224
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:42.120
Khalil to come to her marital home and you know
225
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:45.960
the Christian way that she would and uh, you know,
226
00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:50.320
have an affair on her husband's back. Khalil drove an
227
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:55.039
older model white Mustang, a very distinct car. Ada was
228
00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:58.279
a very small town and you know how busy body
229
00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:04.200
neighbors work notice everything. They noticed his eye catching vehicle
230
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.599
in the Evans driveway that entire week. And yeah, there
231
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:12.839
was some talk behind the scenes over hedges in the
232
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:17.359
backyard across the neighborhood. You know how that goes. Christy
233
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:20.039
and Khalil had a big week together. They had sex,
234
00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:26.640
they ate, they watched films. They were living their best life.
235
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:29.920
Christy was giving him a taste of what life could
236
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:34.000
actually be like if you were, you know, in our shoes.
237
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:38.160
And Khalil was all about it. He wanted every part
238
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:41.400
of it. He had spent the last four years in prison,
239
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:46.480
after all, and Christy not only provided him with sexual intimacy,
240
00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:51.720
but this strange motherly figure he had always craved. One morning,
241
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:57.519
over coffee, Christy brought up David and Khalil really wanted
242
00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:02.039
to be with her. If Khalil really wanted to be
243
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:06.880
with her, then there was a problem. I think you
244
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:09.480
know what the problem is. They all had to get
245
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:14.240
rid of David, get him out of the picture. Gilil,
246
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:18.640
of course, was stunned by the idea. What exactly did
247
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:23.000
that mean? Christy said David was far too stubborn and
248
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:27.240
controlling for divorce and he would never leave her on
249
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:33.799
his own. The only option was to make him disappear.
250
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:11.880
Khalil had a violent criminal past, but the idea of
251
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:16.079
murder was just out of the question, he protested, and
252
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:20.559
Christie pushed on. David had a two hundred and fifty
253
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:24.920
thousand dollars life insurance policy. She promised Khalil one hundred
254
00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:28.000
and sixty thousand dollars and that she'd buy him a
255
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:31.079
new truck. They could live at her house and be
256
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:38.799
together happily. Ever after, Still Khalil was hesitant to murder David.
257
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:42.680
Maybe he had a few more brain cells than she did.
258
00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:47.359
Over the next few days, Christie kept pressing the idea, though,
259
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:54.640
using sex to keep Khalil in her grasp. Finally, he
260
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:59.200
agreed he would do it. He would do anything for Christy.
261
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.319
She had manipulated him with sex to the point where
262
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:06.000
he was gonna do whatever the hell she wanted him
263
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:11.079
to do. And if you're a guy, you understand. She said.
264
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:14.319
She'd provide the gun and leave the back door unlocked.
265
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:18.599
She made it so easy. She'd give David a sleeping
266
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.400
pill so he'd be out. It would all work out
267
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:26.240
just fine. All Khalil had to do was just follow
268
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:29.079
the plan. You can do that, can't you, Khalil. You
269
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:32.440
could follow the plan right, Just follow the steps, just
270
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:37.240
one by one, don't fuck up. So they set a date.
271
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.680
They kissed goodbye and waited for David to return from Mexico.
272
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:45.240
Now it's the middle of the night on March twenty second.
273
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:50.079
Khalil waits nervously in his white Mustang around the corner
274
00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:54.519
from Christie's house. It is warm in the car. He
275
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:58.079
has the heat cranked all the way. He listens to
276
00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:01.160
the low hum of the hot air. He pumps himself
277
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:05.000
up for what he's about to do. Can he really
278
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:08.599
do this? He avoids his own reflection in the rear
279
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.440
view mirror. He doesn't want to look at himself. The
280
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:17.599
streets are quiet, David will be asleep by now. All
281
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:20.359
he has to do is grab the gun, walk in
282
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:25.759
and shoot the guy. But his stomach lurches at the thought.
283
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.279
He doesn't know David. He met him once in that
284
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:36.039
hotel room. That's it. But still he shook the man's hand,
285
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:42.839
he touched his skin. David his flesh and blood, a
286
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:48.400
man with kids and a church. Christy has painted an
287
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:53.440
evil picture of David for Khalil. He's an abusive husband
288
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:58.319
who calls her fat, ugly, and stupid. He criticizes her
289
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:04.079
and uses her a sex doll. Khalil clings to this narrative.
290
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:10.240
He's spellbound by Christy. He loves her with everything, and
291
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:14.880
that love is the only tool he has to keep
292
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:19.759
himself focused on the mission. And the mission. Don't fuck
293
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:26.000
this up is very important, It's everything. He just has
294
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:31.400
to follow the plant. He takes one last deep breath,
295
00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:35.039
then gets out of his white Mustang. He pulls the
296
00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:39.359
hood up over his head and begins marching towards the
297
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:43.880
Evans house. The air is cool and fresh on his skin.
298
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:50.079
His body is pumping with fear and adrenaline. When he
299
00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:53.319
gets to the backyard, he spots the gun Christie has
300
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:57.559
hidden for him, a nine millimeter. When he touches it,
301
00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:03.480
his fingers quiver. Jilil looks over his shoulder, then reaches
302
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.240
for the handle on the Evans back door and slowly
303
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:11.680
creeps inside. Christy is waiting for him when he arrives.
304
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:17.400
She's sitting at the kitchen table in the dark. Hi,
305
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:21.319
she mouths. Khalil breaks at the side of her. His
306
00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:27.759
entire body collapses. I can't do this, he whispers. I
307
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:32.599
can't kill him. Christy stands up and flexes her neck. Yes,
308
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:37.920
you can't. You have to. Khalil feels like a little
309
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:45.920
boy being scolded. I really, Christy, I can't. Christy walks
310
00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:50.680
closer to him, her eyes penetrate him with a menacing glare.
311
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:58.400
You can. He is dead, asleep, knocked out from the pill.
312
00:23:58.519 --> 00:24:04.920
Now go. Khalil nods and slowly sneaks towards the bedroom.
313
00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:10.480
He has no choice. There is no other option, There
314
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:16.960
is no other pathway forward. When he sees David sleeping soundly,
315
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:24.240
he turns around again his hand he remembers shaking the
316
00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:29.039
man's hand. He backs up into the hallway, but Christie
317
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:36.079
is right behind him. Khalil protests again. It can't take
318
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:40.279
a man's life. He tells Christie to shoot him, but
319
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:45.200
she refuses. She says she doesn't know how to use
320
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:49.279
a gun. Funny for this mastermind to say that, since
321
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:52.160
it's only got one button on it, she can't kill
322
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:56.079
him with one shot. It will take a few and
323
00:24:56.200 --> 00:25:00.519
she will make a huge mess, She says, that will
324
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:05.000
ruin their whole plan. Khalil has to do this. Do it,
325
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:10.480
she hisses, do it will never be together if he
326
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:15.000
is alive. You have to do this. She grabs his
327
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:19.839
face and kisses him manipulatively. It's going to be you
328
00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:25.400
and me from now on. Khalil gathers his strength and
329
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:32.119
marches forward. David's legs are visible under the comforter. Khalil
330
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:37.880
imagines that he's already gone. Maybe that will make this easier.
331
00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:41.319
He walks up as close to David as he can
332
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.599
stomach and points the gun towards his temple. He says
333
00:25:45.640 --> 00:26:04.359
a silent prayer. He closes his eyes, and surveillance footage
334
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:08.480
of Khalil's white Mustang led the police straight to him.
335
00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:13.960
Christie confessed almost immediately to everything, but she wove a
336
00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:17.640
much different story than Khalil. She told the police that
337
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:21.920
it was surprise prized all his idea. She's just a
338
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:26.480
battered woman, of course, an abused wife, a victim caught
339
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:29.960
in the middle of this bizarre sex triangle that she
340
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:34.640
had no pardon. Christy told the court that David was
341
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:38.880
addicted to pornography and sex. She claimed it all started
342
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:42.680
when they were at a nude resort in Texas, blamed Texas,
343
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:45.839
and she found David naked in their hotel room with
344
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:50.200
another man when she walked in the door. She felt
345
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:52.880
she had no choice but to do what David wanted.
346
00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:56.960
She also claimed that she couldn't divorce David because of
347
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:01.599
her reputation, plus lost her job at the church, She'd
348
00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:04.680
lose her health insurance, and she needed a kidney transplant.
349
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:08.839
It was life or death to kill David, but the
350
00:27:09.119 --> 00:27:13.279
life insurance policy money. The messages between Khalil and Christy
351
00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:16.920
as well as the scandalous letters she wrote to multiple
352
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:22.519
men from jail, all proved that Christy was a manipulative
353
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:28.079
mastermind who used her sexuality to her advantage. She wanted
354
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:32.160
David gone for many reasons, and Khalil was just a
355
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:35.720
man who was left struck enough to do her bidding.
356
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:40.519
Christy took a plea deal for first degree murder and
357
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:45.200
was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole.
358
00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:52.160
Khalil Square also got life in prison, the dumb, sex
359
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.480
crazed idiot that he is. This case shook the town
360
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:00.400
of Ada, as well as the Harmony Free Will Time Church,
361
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:04.559
of course, and all those people who question David's odd
362
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:09.960
teachings now hold their traditional faith the little tighter. They
363
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:16.279
clutch their pearls a little more. They look more disapprovingly
364
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:20.119
and outsiders than they may have previously. That's kind of
365
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:24.319
how that works. I think it's probably safe to say
366
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:27.640
whoever is leading the sermons at the Harmony Free Will
367
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:33.400
Church these days isn't on the pulpit on Sunday talking
368
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:41.319
about sex. If you enjoyed the show, please consider joining
