Pastor Leaves House Unlocked & His Pregn...

Mile Higher Media & Audioboom Studios
About this episode
Early one morning in 2015, Amanda Blackburn was at home with her husband Davey–a local pastor, and their toddler son. At 6 am, he had left the house, and subsequently left their doors unlocked, as was typical for the couple. Both he and his wife felt safe in their area. Unfortunately, some burglars working the neighborhood were watching the house, and upon seeing Davey leave, broke in and shot Amanda, killing both her and her unborn baby.
