Thank God the suicide was questioned and this man did not get away with murdering his wife and making it look like she took her own life. Sometimes the parents always know what is going on and it was great they pressed LE to look into the case. The Pastor of couse denies the charges and says his wife was depressed over losing their daughter to illness and took an OD of sleeping pills.

WACO, Texas — A former pastor was indicted on a murder charge in his wife's 2006 death, which initially was ruled a suicide before her parents pressed authorities to reopen the case.

Matt Baker, 37, remained jailed on $500,000 bond Thursday, a day after a grand jury handed up the indictment that alleges he killed his 31-year-old wife, Kari, by giving her drugs and suffocating her with a pillow.

Baker, a former Baptist minister at several central Texas churches, denies the charge. He has said his wife, a schoolteacher, used sleeping pills to end her life because she was despondent over the 1998 death of a daughter from cancer. He also denies allegations he was having an affair at the time his wife died.

His attorney, Richard Ellison, told the Waco Tribune-Herald that he and his client were "shocked and disappointed" at the indictment, which he said was "all caused by family pressure."

Officials have said Matt Baker researched sleeping pills on Web sites, and that his wife told at least two people she thought her husband was having an affair, had found crushed pills in his briefcase and feared for her life.

Kari Baker's family and friends say that far from being depressed, she was looking forward to starting a new job.


Doesn't sound like someone who is ready to kill herself and also sounds like some of the cases we have witnessed.
