Evangelical Preacher Charged With Murder, Rape, Sodomy, Sex Abuse & Incest

[QueenOfCalifornia]

He kept his dead wife, mother of all 8 of his children, in a freezer for 4 effing years... He killed her to stop her from going to the police when she discovered he was having sex with his children....

A Mobile judge set itinerant preacher and accused killer Anthony Jujuan Hopkins' bail at nearly $800,000 Tuesday.

At the same time, an autopsy was being conducted on the body of his wife, Arletha, which had taken a week to thaw following four years in a small family freezer.

Assistant District Attorney Steve Giardini said Tuesday that a cause of death for the 36-year-old mother of eight could come as early as today.

Police believe Hopkins, 37, killed the woman after she caught him having sex with one of her daughters, then stuffed the body into a freezer at the Rylands Street home they shared with all eight of their children.

Outside court Tuesday, District Attorney John Tyson Jr. said that investigators searching the home discovered a generator they believe was used to keep Arletha Hopkins' body frozen during power outages.

In the aftermath of the discovery of the body in the freezer, Hopkins was charged with murder and four sex-related offenses — rape, sodomy, sex abuse and incest.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

3. Well sometimes they

are just religious nuts like the BTK killer who was caught when the floppy disc he sent to the police was traced back to his churches computer. :)

Well, the character he played.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

7. I love Anthony Hopkins

4. Anthony Hopkins?

I know, not that Anthony Hopkins...

But I have to ask...

Did he eat their livers with fava beans and a nice chianti?

slurp-slurp-slurp!!!

5. If anyone can make an argument FOR the death penalty, this guy is it.

He is evil beyond comprehension.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

6. Life in prison

for child rapists is far worse than the death penalty.... (which I am strongly opposed to.)

9. Did you see this guy from yesterday?

I'm opposed to the death penalty, but I wouldn't stand outside a prison with a candle over him.

"The devil is here, boy, the devil himself. The demon couldn't do what the devil sent him to do so the devil came himself," Duncan yells in one video. "The devil likes to watch children suffer and cry."

This makes my skin crawl... seriously.

[jobycom]

13. I couldn't sleep after reading it.

I'm hard to shock, too.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

17. Very scary indeed.

I couldn't read the whole article you linked to. It is just too much. Imagine what the jurors are living with now.

[beam me up scottie]

11. Those poor kids.

They'll never get over this. Never

[awoke_in_2003]

15. Can you imagine

if one of the children found the body? People like this make it very hard for me to be against the dath penalty.

[Lars39]

16. That may be one way he kept them in line. :^(

[awoke_in_2003]

20. Well, I could believe

anything from someone who would do what he did.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

19. My kids

look into everything around here. They are nosy... they can't help it. It's human nature.

8 kids... WTF? He was building his own live-in kiddy porn palace. Very crazy and very sick.

[beam me up scottie]

22. I wouldn't be surprised if they did know.

He had a generator to keep it frozen during power outages.

Bastard had it covered, didn't he?

[awoke_in_2003]

23. Makes me wish there was such a thing

as an afterlife where he could get his just rewards.

[beam me up scottie]

24. Me too.

Dante would reserve a spot for him.

18. Evil bastard!
