I climbed the trail to that rock years ago. The view was amazing.

[Teixeira's lawyer has said there was no physical evidence of a crime and the girls' statements were vague and inconsistent.]

Apparently the good pastor thought differently.

Not necessarily. Having false accusations of this kind of thing made against you could destroy your life pretty thoroughly and bring on a suicide attempt just as well as facing a conviction if you're actually guilty.

People say that the sex abuse by priests in the Catholic church is because they aren't allowed to be married and hence are celibate. So they molest kids.

Here's a married (or allowed to be married) pastor. Rapes teenagers.

If marriage cured perverts of the desire to rape/molest kids and teens, then why did this guy do it.

My own view is that there are priests who took that path because they thought the church and celibacy would help them control their impulses. The fact of the matter is, if you have a compulsion to molest children nothing short of some highly intensive therapy (and even that is questionable) is going to stop you. I can almost guarantee you that per capita, there are as many child molestors Babtist ministers as there are priests.

Picavet said park investigators have yet to determine the manner of death...

I believe that the cause of death was due to the gravity of the situation.

Yeah well Santos Teixeira has been doing this for years and I know this for fact beacause he did the same thing to my mother when he lived in Grand Rapids Michigan when she was only 16 and he was a social worker at the girls group home where she stayed at. Due to this I was born, he took my mother and tried to make her think this was love and how familys work for years he beat her but she was young and scared and thought this was love. He also threatened if she left he would take me and my brother who was also fathered by him to brazil and my mother would never see us again. At this time he was married to Maribeth and she was well aware of this and him being unfaithful with other women as well but she was in denial. My name is Janeia Leigh Teixeira I was born july 20 1985 at butterworth hospital in grand rapids michigan.I have a picture of him holding me plus his name and social security number is on my birth certificate.I got a hold of him in october 2005 and he was so happy I called or so he said. He had told me he had gotten into trouble and asked if any private investigators had contacted me or my mother I said no.He never wanted to answer my questions or have detailed conversations he told me he wanted to meet me in person but that never happened.He was a coward and hid behind the church to hide his double standard life just like he did many years ago when he was a social worker at Pinerest christian hospital a group home for girls. Now he is gone and he wont be able to hurt another little girl or women again but he has left many broken hearts,souls,and lifes and god only knows how many broken homes (kids he fathered). I know I'm left with a lot of questions that only he had answers to, that will now never be answered. Now I will Never be able to prove to Maribeths kids Wesley and Arielee that their "loving father" was really not who they thought and was also mine and my brother Joshua Santos Teixeira born october 2 1988.

I am so sorry for the mess this guy made of the lives of so many.

Under the circumstances you describe, I would not convict anyone who may have killed himm ven if that person admitted to doing it on the witness stand. You might want to consider reading Dr. Laura's latest book, Bad Childhood, Goo Life
