Kansas City Crime: Things That Make You Go Hmmmm

The Kansas City Star reported Wednesday the arrest of David K. Love, former Baptist pastor, on a murder warrant Tuesday in South Carolina.

At the time of his death, Stone, 42, was in the process of leaving Farmer’s Insurance and setting himself up as an independent agent. He also had left New Hope, according to Shannon Bell, his sister.

Bell said Stone had been very active at New Hope, attending Sunday and Wednesday services. He drove one of the Sunday school bus routes and traveled with his wife and two children to help others working to establish new churches.

At Stone’s memorial service, Love spoke of their friendship, developed over the 10 years the Stone family attended New Hope. Love left the church later in April.

UPDATE: Aww, shit. I was hoping that maybe these two were, um, fishing buddies who had a falling out, but the local killjoy Fox station is blabbing to everyone that Rev. Love was actually schtupping MRS. Stone. There goes any titillation I might have got out of this. I HATE FOX NEWS!
