If you read the Texas Monthly cover story from last March about Waco pastor Matt Baker, who has been accused of killing his wife Kari, whose death had originally been ruled a suicide, you will be interested to hear that a grand jury has now indicted him for that crime. It's a fascinating story, one from which I came away unsure about what really happened. It's also a really hard story to read, since the incident that triggered Kari Baker's presumed suicide was the death from cancer of their young daughter Kassidy. Kassidy was one year old at the time of her death, the same age Audrey was when that issue arrived in my mailbox, and it still hits me just writing these words. Anyway, it's a worthwhile read, just be prepared for the emotions that will come with it.
