About this listen

 When Rosemarie Cobb went to Reeders, Pennsylvania for her brother’s memorial service in October 2008, she had no idea that his suicide was tied to a man linked to two other deaths, a pastor who happened to be having an affair with her sister-in-law. After pushing for an investigation, the formerly closed cases were given a second look. His first wife, Jewel, had died after a fall down the stairs nine years earlier, and hissecond wife, Betty, had died after a car crash only months earlier. Either Pastor Arthur Burton Schirmer was incredibly unlucky, or he had a hand in at least some of the deaths of the three people around him.Sources: https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2019/11/15/americans-have-positive-views-about-religions-role-in-society-but-want-it-out-of-politics/ https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2019/11/15/most-congregants-trust-clergy-to-give-advice-about-religious-issues-fewer-trust-clergy-on-personal-matters/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/death-at-the-parsonage-3/ https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/was-a-small-town-pastor-living-a-lie/ https://monroecountyda.com/districtattorney/commonwealth-v-arthur-burton-schirmer/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/arthur-schirmer-pa-pastor-convicted-of-second-wifes-murder-now-faces-trial-in-first-wifes-death/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rev-arthur-burton-schirmer-to-stand-trial-in-wifes-08-death/ https://opencasebook.org/casebooks/6094-evidence-fall-2024/resources/6.3.9-commonwealth-v-schirmer/ https://www.oxygen.com/living-with-a-serial-killer/crime-news/timothy-boczkowski-killed-2-wives-in-2-states-son-speaks https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ex-pastor-gets-20-40-years-in-1st-wifes-death/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/48-hours-when-is-a-car-crash-not-a-car-crash/ https://lancasteronline.com/news/pathologist-pastors-1st-wife-a-victim-of-homicide/article_581b8cf9-6d82-5ead-84a9-59e56628d80f.html https://www.ldnews.com/story/archives/2015/12/16/schirmer-gets-20-40-years-murder-bethany/77424050/ https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/contests/former-lebanon-county-pastor-sentenced-to-20-to-40-years-for-killing-wife/521-c2d345cb-1ca6-4da3-96e2-c459cdcd0ad6 https://www.pennlive.com/midstate/2012/12/arthur_schirmer.html https://www.wnep.com/article/news/local/monroe-county/son-finds-closure-in-mothers-death/523-6fe9e091-85d6-44f2-96b6-988bdea0a177 https://lancasteronline.com/news/details-emerge-in-schirmer-trial/article_71ab27eb-9136-5fef-9f6a-53d6d92d556a.html https://www.oxygen.com/accident-suicide-or-murder/crime-time/da-describes-prosecuting-the-sinister-minister-who-had-two https://www.ldnews.com/story/news/crime/2017/03/07/former-bethany-umc-pastor-challenges-murder-conviction/98864536/ Numerous articles from Newspapers.com, such as https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-morning-call-schirmer-07/143227254/ https://pven.net/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2090536X15000283 https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24725-asphyxiation https://www.umc.org/en/content/united-methodist-beliefs-divorce https://thecinemaholic.com/a-b-schirmer-where-is-killer-husband-now/
