Former Pastor in Mississippi Confesses to Killing a Man, Charged with Manslaughter
A Mississippi pastor has confessed to killing a man three years ago – after allegedly pretending to help the family look for the victim.
James Eric Crisp, 37, confessed on 30 August to the killing of 48-year-old Roger Loyd Taylor, of Sulligent, Alabama. The Monroe County, Mississippi, Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that Mr Crisp decided to give up his “physical freedom” and his position as a minister at God’s House of Hope in Kilmichael to regain his spiritual freedom.
But speaking to The Independent on Monday, Taylor’s daughter, BreAnn, cast doubt on Mr Crisp’s supposed transformation. She recounted how Mr Crisp allegedly helped her look for her father right after he went missing in 2019, and repeatedly assured her that he didn’t have anything to do with the disappearance.
