It appears to be the best way to get by with
murder is to be a preachers wife or just be
the slick talking preacher. Either one works,
or so it seems.

has anyone ever heard of ''''dead weight''''?????? think of how hard it would be to dress a dead body, on a bed that is soft, with the pooling of blood already taking place......sound suspecious to me

wolf in sheeps clothing, god knew exactly what he was talking about.

Yep, depression can be difficult. However, the guy accused of murdering his wife is the only one who claimed she was depressed. As the show revealed, Kari had gone for a job interivew on the day of her death. This doesn''t take a rocket scientist to figure this out. He found a new woman and plotted the death of his wife. Come on, the Internet searches were pretty incriminating. Kari knew/suspected an affair but only "typed" a sweet farewell??? Give me a break!!!
The stolen office computer and the crashed harddrive on his home computer. Getting fishier and fishier. And the toxicologist who commented that her body would not have been cold by that time unless she has been killed in Antartica!

By Baker''s own timeline (he said he left at 11:11) he was gone less than an hour. Do a little forensic research on this with a google search. This story of his is bogus.

What kind of crappy DA does this county have??? They need to do some work here and indict this guy!!!

I understand that the information provided to us was limited due to time. However, he has proved he is a predator with a lot of young girls and women. He has also proved to be mentally abusive by blaming her for the death of their daughter. Abusive men are all the same. Of course he comes across charming to the outsiders, they always do! I do not believe she killed herself. I KNOW FOR A FACT that she wouldn''t have died that quickly by over dosing on Ambien let alone turn cold in 40 minutes. Is that medically possible even? I would like to get that out to the family working on this case. I would like to help anyway that I can. I have read the comment regarding him getting what he deserves weather of not he is convicted. That is very true, but someone else will become his next victim and we need to prevent that from happening.

It seems very strange that Matt claims his wife killed herself, when it seems that he was the one that actually drove her to the point of madness. Many men I have seen on 48 hours have killed their wives just to be with another woman. I don''t think Matt is any different.

So the Guy is a creep, but it still does not probe he did it.
Depression is a horrible thing,

How many more men will try to get away with murdering their wives? It appears to me that almost weekly there is another case of "my wife just up and left me", or "my wife committed suicide". This guy thought he had it all figured out, but when these circumstances appear to show the deceit of his "facts not matching the evidence", we can generally chalk it up to "murder". I know one cannot assume guilt, but for too long and too many, it looks just like another case of "trying once again to date again without the divorce first" and since they had children he would be required by the courts to support, it''s cheaper and faster to just murder the wife! And the worst thing is those men are "always" the innocent-looking, but ''most dangerous'' of all!

All the circumstances look pretty bad....but: the victim''s mother said there were worse things than suicide. She is right. It is a HORRIBLE THING to be falsely accused of murdering a spouse.

I''m not saying that Matt did not do this. I cannot tell. I did not know either Matt or Kari and I don''t necessarily believe that one could "know" the truth of this case from merely knowing one of these people.

Someone spoke of Kari''s mom as being "in denial". I think that is possible. But it is also true that most of us are in denial about what anyone is capable of. Kari was capable of committing suicide. Matt was capable of murder. We are all vulnerable to rationalizing horrible actions if we allow our emotions to rule our behavior.

I think it terrible to publically "try" this man outside of a court of law. If he is guilty, I pray that he will be found out. But what we ALL need to desire is that TRUTH is found.

My heart breaks for all those involved. What a mess. I can pray for protection for those dear little ones. God can protect them with or without Kari''s mom. And no one need fear Matt''s "getting away with murder". No one ever does. Ever. Regardless of whether or not they are found out in this life, murderers will not escape justice. With Matt''s background, he is well aware of that so if he is guilty, he not only will pay, he KNOWS he will pay.

From the way the story reads the police didn''t do any kind of investigation. They found the note and just assumed it was suicide. Very poor police work indeed.

Most people do not havce the knowledge needed to plan and commit a murder and get away with it. They overlook obvious things that will give them away. I think the fact that her body was cold and the blood was settling in her body is what gave him away. This process takes hours to happen, not an hour and a half.
