The Pig, the Pastor and the Music Director: Unholy Love Triangle Ends in Execution-Style Murder

Send us a text

Pastor Jeff Brown was doing more than just preaching to the choir when he began a love triangle with church Choir Director Cindy Reese, and tragically for Cindy’s husband, Michael, he was on the losing end. 

What started as a small-town scandal escalated into a murder investigation and the trail of evidence lead from the local Piggly Wiggly grocery store and favorite burger joint to the church and eventually the Julia Tutwiler prison. 

The illicit lovers thought their affair was a secret, but everybody in the tiny Alabama town knew about it, even the deacons. Everybody, that is, except for Michael Reese. Even after Jeff and Cindy were caught, they never did seek forgiveness.

The devil is in the details even to the point where they were trying to blame Michael’s murder on each other.
