Summary

On January 14th 2014, Nathan Maddox and his wife Crystal Maddox were walking into a Saturday service with Nathans 5 year-old daughter Maddie, at the Mt. Caramel baptist church. This specific day was going to be Nathans last supervised visitation visit with his daughter Maddie. For the past few years there had been a brutal and messy custody battle between Nathan and his ex-wife Kristen Westfall. Kristen had tried taking Maddie away from Nathan multiple times even though Kristen was proven time and time again to not be mentally fit to be a mother. Kristen enjoyed being in control of Nathan and so when Nathan and Crystal had raised enough money for good lawyers and won visitation rights, this sent Kristen into a rage. And on January 14th, 2014 as Nathan and Crystal were walking out of church service, both were shot dead in the parking lot. Police’s main suspect was Kristen, but during her interrogation, police would realize, that Kristen didn’t work alone. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
