If it had been a Pentecostal church, I would immediately suspect the piano player.

This happened really close to me, closer than I wish to admit. I am going to keep any speculation quiet until the family is found. This area is a crossroads for criminals and it is not uncommon to find some really bad folks wandering into the area for anonymity.

For what it's worth department ... Selmar, TN is just a few miles from Shiloh where one of the deadliest battles of the Civil War was fought.

Am praying for all concerned. Also praying for the little boy missing in TX, and the 2 boys in WI.

How about he was secretly an abusive husband, and she feared for her life?

Domestic violence is real, and I personally know people who went years being abused by their husbands without anyone ever knowing.

Pray.

On the Nashville news this morning, they gave no indication as to what may have happened. But at the end, it said they are probably traveling in the wife's van. I took it like she was on the lam with the kids. But later thought they they were all kidnapped and just the van and kids were missing... regardless... it's strange.

If it had been an Episcopal church, I would immediately suspect the butler.

Be careful. This was exactly the testimony of inspector Clouseau right before they pinned all the pink panther burglaries on him......
