Bond denied for Ala. evangelist charged with killing wife whose body was in freezer 3 years
How can anyone's mind bend around preaching a Christian gospel while abusing his own children and keeping his wife's body in the freezer for three years?
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) _ A judge denied bond Thursday for a part-time evangelist charged with murder in the death of his wife, a mother of eight whose body was kept in a freezer for at least three years.
The father of the six youngest children, Hopkins also is charged with rape, sodomy, sexual abuse and incest in a related case involving a female relative who is pregnant with his baby, authorities said. Her disclosure of that sexual abuse led police to find the body in the freezer Monday.
Hopkins had told his wife's relatives in Wadley, Ga., that she was unavailable or didn't want any contact with them, Rich said. The wife's disappearance was never reported to police.
