Fortunately not mine, I chose the non-mormon and (hopefully) non-murdery dentist a few blocks away. Article doesn't say this but the bio on the practice's website lists BYU as the his undergrad alma mater.
Heartbreaking story, now six kids without a mother and father.

Should be on Dateline soon. And of course the obligatory girlfriend and insurance policy.

He likely thought it was better than the pain of divorce. Also, this is not good press for PIMOs.


I wonder if they’ll find out who his girlfriend is?

All bishops are dentists.

Maybe the church should have a priesthood meeting talk about not killing your wife when you get entangled in financial troubles or affairs. They put so much emphasis on looking rich and sexual sin that murder sometimes seems like the best option.

Unbelievable. He could have just gotten a divorce.

He probably tried to run the numbers and somehow convinced himself, despite the tenets of his chosen religion, that murder was cheaper.

The word on the street (Reddit) is that he's the Elders Quorum President.

This may thwart his rise to Bishop...

Didn't your career likewise stall out at EQP?

It makes one wonder. . .

Nay, fair damsel!

I was awarded a release of all claims by a benevolent Church-of-my-youth!  I can go back anytime I want, according to the SCMC member who is in charge of file, as long as I turn in my federal tax records and a check for 10% of my total income since 1970 ...

The temptation is huge!

I'll bet.

But given your affluence, the church may agree to make you an apostle in exchange for the arrears.

Imagine that. You would be the Lamanite made good, the blossoming rose, proof that Spencer Kimball truly was a prophet.

Think of all the good you could do!

My best friend’s dad had an affair with my sister’s best friend when he was Elder’s Quorum President. It was quite the scandal.

When I was growing up in Zion in a smaller town, a dentist in the same office building as my dentist was caught bonking one of his assistants. I think she was underage but I do not remember entirely. He was on the Stake High Council, and when the story got around, he ran off with one of his patients.

For a while I had a dentist in California that I discovered after I had been a patient three or four years, that he was a Mormon, and we figured out he was a second cousin from one of my polygamist family branches. He had a bevy of all female assistants, hygenists and receptionist that were all super "hot" and overtly overly friendly with the good doctor. I've been a manager for research groups where after hour hanky panky was beginning to influence job performance and have had to deal with the parties with HR. This guy gave off bad hanky panky vibes like you would not believe.

Probably useful to the second dentist that he was his own HR department...

...stop the hate.

...I accidentally inherited an entire library of dentistry medical volumes. I have never been so horrified of dental medicine and the practice in general, as a result of viewing this material. Please be aware of all complications regarding even the the most seemingly simple procedures....thank you.
