Preacher killed wife, stuffed body in freezer, police say

August 19th, 2008


Wow. Talk about a case of bad naming. Anthony Hopkins is bound to face some bad press for this no matter what happens.

Last month an evangelical preacher was arrested for the murder of his wife. According to police the preacher, who had a history of abusing his 19-year-old daughter, killed his wife and kept her remains frozen after she caught him molesting the daughter. The daughter alerted police to the murder shortly after moving out of the house.

The man’s name?

Anthony Hopkins.

Bad, bad naming. Anybody looking for news on the actor is likely to come across this case pretty quickly, and, well, yeah. Luckily for actor Hopkin, preacher Hopkins looks nothing like him - but still.
