Kari and Matt Baker - Part 1 of 3

Matt and Kari Baker seemed like the perfect couple with the perfect family. Living near Waco, Texas, Matt was a Baptist minister and Kari was a third grade teacher. They were raising two beautiful daughters, Kensi and Grace. But Kari’s family and friends knew that she had struggled. Seven years earlier, she and Matt had lost another daughter, Kassidy, soon after her first birthday. When Kari died in April 2006, her death was quickly ruled a suicide. But, Kari’s family and friends had a hard time accepting that conclusion. They saw someone who was a fighter and would do anything to be there for her daughters. They were determined to find out the truth, no matter how long it would take or how difficult it would be.Today’s snacks: Julio’s Corn Tortilla Chips, Mateo’s Gourmet Salsa, and Velveeta Queso con Salsa Cheese DipListen to all three parts today on Patreon.Sources:https://www.tdcaa.com/journal/the-murdering-minister/https://www.courttv.com/trials/tx-v-baker-2010/Deadly little secrets : the minister, his mistress, and a heartless Texas murder, by Casey, Kathrynhttps://www.texasmonthly.com/true-crime/the-valley-of-the-shadow-of-death/https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/witness-for-the-prosecution/20/20, The Preacher’s Hidden Life48 Hours, S24 E6, Dirty Little SecretsProsecuting Evil With Kelly Siegler, S1 E6, The Mask of Godhttps://www.cbsnews.com/video/extra-matt-baker-talks-to-48-hours-2/https://memorials.oakcrestwaco.com/book-of-memories/2161993/baker-kari/obituary.phphttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0379073800003935 https://dontevengetstarted.blogspot.com/ https://wacotrib.com/read-the-complete-arrest-warrant-for-matt-baker/article_3729ddae-b7e5-5451-809a-a84814ada393.html
