He phoned 911.
Within two days, she and her pre born child both died at the hospital.
Police told media that her husband, Davey, was "100%" not a suspect in his wife's murder, and have now reported that surveillance video from neighbors has likely shown the shooter.
There has been a string of robberies in the area and police reported that this is a crime of opportunity, that a criminal intent upon robbery saw Davey leave his home to go to the gym and took this as an opportunity to rob the home, only to be met by Amanda, who, they reported, struggled with the assailant.
At the home at this time was their one year old child, who was unharmed. Police told the assailant through media that they would get him.
The following is Question and Answer as this account has caused much interest here at the blog after I had analyzed the public statement of Davey Blackburn.
Q. Have you concluded that Davey Blackburn is complicit in the death of his wife and pre born child?
A. No.
The statement has brought me concerns which I outline in the analysis here. These concerns include:
a. A focus upon himself including his job which suggests a sense of 'controlling narcissistic tendencies' including 'divinity' like control and an artificial divorcing from human emotions under the use of religious language.
b. There is no mention of his deceased pre born child.
c. There is no concern for justice for Amanda.
d. There is no concern for a dangerous killer who is free to kill again.
e. There is a rapid "moving on" within him; negating natural human emotions through religious language.
f. There is no 'safety' afforded to Amanda and her pre born child.*
In short, there is enough to be concerned that if he is not complicit in her murder, he has some need of professional intervention. When I reviewed his one hour lecture with his wife, Amanda, after the analysis was posted, my opinion of 'controlling narcissistic tendencies' was affirmed. The seminar also, in my opinion, revealed some strong sexual issues as well as misuse of Scripture regarding sexuality. Sex was a dominant theme and quite revelatory.
He is talented and uses the format of ministry to promote a celebrity like status under the pragmatic guise of reaching young people.
Q. Is it ethical for you to cast suspicion upon a grieving and suffering man?
A. Yes. He did not speak privately to family, friends, or even his church. He spoke to the "nation" (his own words) publicly which presupposes that when anyone speaks publicly, there is an expectation that some will agree and some will not agree, but all will have opinions. When any of us offer a public opinion, we know the public will have an opinion on what we say. I expressed my opinion, and expressed specifically why I have suspicion.
Q. Isn't this a form of religious hatred and bigotry?
A. No.
My own background allows me for a strong reference point, especially in his perspective which is a strong principle in Statement Analysis itself.
We set up an "Expected Versus Unexpected" scenario which presupposes the writer is innocent and truthful By doing this, we allow ourselves to view what is not expected for analysis. Since I share a background in faith, and a background of being a husband and a father, I am able to better "enter into his shoes" and ask what I might say.
His statement is short, and it was his first after the murder, making it very important. That it is short speaks to how only the most important information is going to be included.
I find that he is the main topic of the statement, more than the victims, with one victim not even mentioned, while he mentions his career as going forward. This is not expected. What is expected?
1. Fear. His wife and pre born child are murdered and the killer, who did this to her head, is on the loose.
2. Despair. I expect to hear heartbreak.
3. Hope. Since he is of faith, I expect a submissive posture to trusting God while not understanding why suffering has come to him.
In his follow up post to the "nation" at large, he said he is, in fact, working on Sunday and that they will "laugh" and "cry" together. Mere days after his wife's death he mentions "laughter" is not expected, nor is it consistent with faith.
There is nothing in Scripture that negates nor suspends human emotions in tragedy. I even cited two examples in my analysis, showing my own reference point: David's mourning over his son, Absolam, and Christ's mourning over Jerusalem.
We have seen in our day a silencing of opinions, especially through labels. When someone disagrees, he is said to be morally unfit to have an opinion, and mentally incapable of expressing it. The two most common silencers are "hate" and "phobia."
My policy is A. If you do not agree with it you are "full of hate" and have an irrational fear against topic A.
This is commonly seen in anonymous postings. When Julie Baker stole $43,000 dollars, I exposed her deception but was said to be "hateful" and "homophobic."
This was asserted rather than address the analysis.
When I analyzed Hillary Clinton, I am "misogynistic" and "partisan."
When I analyzed George W. Bush, I was "playing politics" and "only target" one party.
Rather than have a healthy debate over principle, name calling suggests a form of tyranny that seeks to impose an indefensible position upon others by silencing them. It belies the weakness of the position.
What makes Statement Analysis unique is this:
When someone makes a public statement, anyone listening will have an opinion on whether or not they believe the speaker.
With analysis, the reason for belief or disbelief is plainly stated, allowing for the engagement of dialog. Dialog is the curse of tyrannical imposition of agenda. When one needs to "shout down" a message, they have nothing to add to dialog.
Q. Have you had a lot of nasty comments that needed to be deleted?
A. No. I have been pleasantly surprised. The misuse of the commentary policy is done anonymously and is often agenda driven. The volunteers edit out comments that are like that, and if it is severe enough, it is put in the "spam" folder, where the IP address eventually gets automatically learned for deletion.
Disagreements are always welcome unless they deliberately misuse the principles of Statement Analysis. "Here, the word "but" is used and indicates deception"
This is not a blog to propagate ignorance.
Statement Analysis needs healthy scientific skepticism to improve. When I conclude "deception indicated", my name, reputation and livelihood are on the line.
Q. Doesn't his religion teach against vengeance? Could this be the reason for the absence of justice in his statement? Maybe he thinks God will protect the neighbors?
A. One question at a time:
First the question of vengeance: No, it teaches against personal hatred, but not justice. The justice is assigned to the government and it should be entrusted to such. Where the government fails to procure justice for its people leads to all sorts of trouble. Consider "The Quartering Act" and how this endangered women and children, and forced men to arms.
We have seen cases where citizens have sought their own justice and it rarely ends well.
If he has no concern for his neighbors because God will protect them, it does not address the murder of his wife and the absence of protection and is against his own teaching of love and concern for his neighbor.
It is my opinion that such a brutal, calloused and frightening double murder is almost as bad as it gets, with the only element making it worse is the unknown.
Why was my wife killed?
Will the killer come back for my child?
Will the killer come back for me?
My expectation is that the shock of this being so severe that the very first thing needed is protection for his child, himself, and his vulnerable neighbors.
It is missing and this is of concern to me.
Q. Police have said he is cleared. What are you thinking?
A. I am thinking that police need to clear him as having any connection to the shooter. They have concluded that he is not the shooter.
I am also thinking:
I hope I am wrong about my suspicion. I hope he had nothing to do with it. He needs help, desperately.
Q. Besides the points in the analysis, what else concerns you?
The setting.
A. Trouble in Marriage
October 27, 2015 Davey and Amanda Blackburn give a "performance" about marriage for their church. Hipster like, front and center, he spoke a great deal about sex, made an inappropriate joke, and talked about the gym.
The "gym" was in relation to sexual temptation. He pays $10 a month to track himself on line. He is, in my opinion, obsessed with sex and projecting this towards young people. He was at the gym where he experiences sexual temptation while she was murdered.
Both Davey and Amanda spoke of serious problems in their marriage.
This was given a specific trigger: pregnancy.
Amanda was three months pregnant when murdered.
The seminar appears, in my own personal opinion to be conducted by someone who over talks his wife, is controlling, very competitive, and it appears like two people who just don't like each other.
Again, this is posted for the public to view and have an opinion. I hope my opinion is wrong.
B. Stressors
He said that pregnancy was something that made the marriage worse, while she referenced his work.
In his announcement about his murdered wife, he mentioned his career.
C. Competition
He appears to compete with her for the spotlight and corrects her, with a subtle insult about purity. He then reveals that they negotiated "date nights" because the marriage turned bad immediately after the honeymoon and this "negotiation" including having to have sex before going out to dinner, otherwise he cannot "concentrate" on the dinner.
This is insulting to Amanda and a narcissistic airing out of his problems publicly which only adds to her humiliation.
Q. What does narcissism have to do with your analysis?
A. This is a murder, regardless of who committed it. Any murder investigation begins with the circle of suspects beginning quite small and widening outward. This means that when someone is murdered in her own home, the home is first viewed. When a spouse is murdered, the surviving spouse is first viewed and cleared, and then immediately family and then connections to the family and on to the public at large. In domestic homicides, the spouse is viewed. There is a correlation between narcissistic tendencies and domestic violence, and this is logical. If one believes himself superior as a person, his views will be paramount, and if disagreed with, the narcissistic type can become very upset. The greater the view of oneself, the higher the element of disappointment.
The most dangerous time for a woman in a domestically violent scenario is the first days where she breaks free and he has lost control.
This is not to say that Davey Blackburn is a narcissist. The analysis of his statement showed narcissistic like language, including 'divinity' like attribute noted. The video affirmed this narcissism, even while, at times, giving sound advice to his audience. He is obviously very talented, has a good intellect, but has some serious sexual issues and this should be dealt with privately, not at the expense of a young audience, nor to the humiliation of his wife.
Narcissistic tendencies and violence are related.
Q. Why did you write about Amanda as a "mother"?
A. I found it odd that he did not mention her as a mother, nor about the death of the pre born child, nor even about his one year old being motherless.
For a young man who is a father and just lost his child's mother and the expected baby, it is not expected that this would be missing from his language. Statement Analysis deals with what one says and what one does not say. As an expecting father I recall the months of speaking to my pre born child, playing music for him or her, reading to him or her, and so on. In Statement Analysis, we put ourselves into the shoes of the subject and presuppose innocence. What would an innocent victim say in this circumstance?
Q. What did you make of his address of his wife?
A. There is something very concerning that I did not address in the original analysis.
Heather said, "This is the first time I ever heard a Christian address a deceased loved one without saying, "She is in heaven. She is at home" as a priority."
Does he think she was unworthy of heaven? This question is far more important than you might realize.
Guilty parties do, at times, justify the crime by insulting the victim, with most insults being subtle, or benign appearing. Is that what the sense is here? It is a legitimate question. Since he loaded down his statement with religious language, it is certainly an expectation. The first statement is always so important.
His wife was murdered and these are the first words he committed to the public.
He did not mention his murdered child.
He did not mention his motherless child.
He did not comfort himself with the murdered wife and murdered child in Heaven. I consider this a blaring omission.
When you view the video tape, you may get a better sense of why this is. The video is persuasive and the persuasion is of a very troubled young man in a very bad marriage.
He does not use her name, initially, which is subtle distancing language, even though she is "my wife" and "woman," Where he does use "Amanda" it is about her in relation to others, not to him, nor their child. "Amanda" serves everyone, but this does not include her own children.
Did he not consider her a good "mother"?
Did he not consider her worthy of Heaven?
Is this just a bad marriage where the remaining spouse will suffer, not only from the loss of his wife, but suffer from being left with bitter memories, rather than fond memories?
Or is this a justification of murder?
There is a good deal of focus upon himself, and not upon his child, and how they are to survive without her.
Q. How does social introductions fit in here?
A. We begin with the social introduction and then look to see how he addresses her. Who is she, under which circumstances?
Given his age, and later his obsession with sex, is she his "lover", even in polite terms? His seminar did not seek to stay only in "polite" terms, including his inappropriate joke made at her expense.
She was his wife, and she was the mother of his children. Exception is not only a complete social introduction, but a warmth and closeness that language can reveal.
It was not what the focus was.
Instead, the focus was upon himself and his career.
Q. How do you think this will end?
A. With an arrest.
Hopefully, it will be the dangerous shooter and only the dangerous shooter, with no connection to Davey Blackburn. If so, I hope Davey gets the help he needs as he must face the death of his wife and pre born child, and face life as a single parent. It is a tough road.
This gives me the feel of a show in the name of 'persuasion' of Christianity. He has deliberately addressed the nation and that this is a chance to spread the Gospel.
Q. When do you get involved with police?
A. When I am involved with police on a case, the blog never knows it. This is to protect the integrity of the case and the investigators. If I comment on a case that is in the media, I am not involved in it privately. If a case is posted and I later become involved, I no longer comment on the case.
Keep in mind, these are all public statements that are visible to all.
The successfully prosecuted cases that I assist in do not get published here.
Q. Were you conflicted about posting this story?
A. Yes. I received the request from a Christian woman who felt concerned about the statement and I know that opinions can add to one's hurt, yet I reminded myself that he invited opinions by the public statement. Later, in acknowledging the "national" coverage, I felt more at ease with it. I feel terrible for Amanda's family and wondered how they felt viewing the video of him correcting her, over-talking her, and humiliating her. If she had been my daughter, I would have upset.
I consulted with some trusted friends that are investigators, as well.
Q. What do you mean by "stepping back" from a statement?
A. By this I mean to 'think about it' in general terms and ask myself how I feel about the circumstances. Here, it looks like this:
A man talks about how bad his marriage is, and that having a baby was a trigger, and the gym holds sexual temptation towards infidelity for him. Bad marriage, baby, gym.
Next, his pregnant wife is murdered, along with the pre born child, while he was at the gym.
Then, he releases a statement that is void of anger and sadness and shows no desire for justice nor even catching the killer.
That's a lot of coincidences. That's a statement worthy of a second look.
Q. What would help you decide if he was involved?
A. A statement.
If police release the 911 call, I will analyze it. In many cases, a 2 minute 911 call has shown guilt.
Or, if he is interviewed nationally and the TV interviewer has the presence of mind to say,
"Hey, I am so sorry for your loss and all you are going through and admire your faith. What do you say, however, to those who may think you are involved?"
Hopefully, we would all hear a reliable denial.
Q. What are the possibilities here?
A. The two possibilities here, in general:
a. His wife was the random victim of a home intrusion break in and robbery.
This has some questions, however, and the questions may all have ready answers, but media has either not asked the questions, or police have not provided answers. This includes:
1. Was there a sign of forced entry?
2. If not, why was the door unlocked?
3. Is this the norm? In a neighborhood where break ins have been noted, is this the norm?
4. What was stolen?
5. What was the value of the stolen items?
6. Where was the baby?
With the cruelty of a head shot, this leads to questions of:
7. Why would a robber need to shoot a pregnant woman?
8. Why the head?
9. What would cause the pregnant mother of a one year old to fight a robber? It is more expected that a woman would say, "take what you will, but don't harm me?
10. This leads to: Did she recognize the shooter?
11. Did the shooter fear that she could recall his or her face?
12. Did he have more than just a hoodie to cover his face?
13. Is he a her?
14. Is this an organized gang?
b. Davey Blackburn is involved.
1. Did he meet someone at the gym?
2. Was someone hired to shoot Amanda?
3. Was the last straw another pregnancy?
4. Was the issue of sex between them so severe that it led to this?
5. Was his job so important to him that he would murder rather than divorce and lose his job?
6. Did he have a girlfriend? As months go by, will we hear, "Amanda would want me remarried" and "I have to to avoid sexual..." and so on?
If he is involved, we will look back at the language and learn. We may then consider the subtle justification of the murder of someone 'not worthy' of Heaven, for example.
Or, it could end that he had no connection to the killer, and now is a troubled young man in need of help, who will have few comforting memories, because of the troubled marriage.
I hope he was not involved and get the help he will desperately need as a single father left to cope with an extreme tragedy.
***************************************************
Analysis Exercise:
Being in the subject's shoes, what would you say in your initial statement?
One short paragraph only. Leave in comments section.
305 comments:
«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 305 of 305Peter,
I think your analysis and your comments are spot on. Current information suggests that the pastor is not involved in Amanda's murder; nevertheless he has "outed" himself as a self-centered man who cares more for himself, his position in the church and expanding his flock than he did for his wife and unborn child.
I've seen nothing to indicate sorrow and mourning on his part. In fact he seemed giddy at the opportunity that Amanda's murder has brought him - to be in the limelight.
And FWIW, people elsewhere online seem to reflect the same sentiments of the posts here. I can't wait until Amanda "directs" the pastor - from beyond the grave - to move on with his life and hook up with a new woman. SMDH.
There lots of "Davey and I " in her statements, aren't there? Isn't that a sign of closeness? And why wouldn't Amanda be calling her sister and Davey vacuuming? Its weird to me.
I'm glad it's not just me that arched an eyebrow over sister's post. She's clearly a bit of a drama queen (the description of Amber's face when she died didn't jive with what I have seen in similar situations) and the rest of it sounds like the over-the-top religiosity some people spout when they can't think of an original thought. I'm not sure what to think of her relationship with her sister and Davey but she sounds off.
Forgot to add...did anyone else catch that during the train station interviews where she talked about CD getting up so early to do devotionals? She said, "I don't want to get out of MY bed to do devotionals in the morning. Not, get out of bed, or get out of our bed, MY bed. Is this significant or am I reaching.
On October 14 Davey Blackburn tweeted a photo of his Starbucks coffee next to a legal pad full of sermon notes with the caption "My blood is PUMPING already to preach this sermon in 4 weeks. Sometimes planning way ahead has its downsides."
On the notepad is the mind map for a his sermon Some of what I could read (it's not all in focus or legible):
Title: WORSHIP AS A WEAPON — II Chronicles 20:1-30
In the center, circled: HOW DO YOU GET RID OF WORRY?
What do we worry about?
• Kids
• Spouses
• Popularity
• Job
• Bills
• Health
Dwelling on it just perpetrates it (exacerbates).
vs. 12: We don't know what to do but our eyes are on you!! Most powerful verse in this passage.
vs. 14 While he was yet speaking—nothing invokes the Lord faster than worship!
vs. 19 With a very loud voice. How are you going to scare off an enemy with a quiet voice? Our God has the roar of a Lion!
vs. 22 When they began to sing
vs. 23 The enemy fought each other
WORRY IS A WORSHIP ISSUE
It means you're seeing the problem you're facing bigger than the God who's facing it with you.
Sometimes the battle isn't the Lord's, sometimes he's called YOU to fight.
Had Jehosophat not lead them to this they would not have worshipped and would have perished.
***********
Fast forward to Nov. 10 ... first mention of tragedy on the Resonate Church FB page is an oblique message at 4:58 pm "We don't know what to do but our eyes are on you."
The next morning, at 8:47 on Resonate FB page, "Extremely heavy hearts today. Our Pastor's wife Amanda Blackburn passed away this morning. Please pray for the Blackburn and Byars family during this difficult time. Although we are hurting tremendously, we are still hoping and believing that great things are still yet to come from this! "Although we don't know what to do, our eyes are on you".
This phrase has been picked up by the congregation and is echoing through the public comments section, but given the above it seems that Blackburn was the author of the earliest church FB messages, and we could consider this meme his earliest public statement.
We don't know what to do but our eyes are on you.
Anon 11:38,
"What do we worry about?
•Kids
•Spouses
•Popularity
•Job
•Bills
•Health"
Does he have more than one spouse? As his list is written, it does not make sense to pluralize to "spouses." He's not speaking to a collective group, or he would have made job plural.
He is speaking (or thinking of) one person with the worry of plural kids, plural bills, one job, health and popularity...and oddly...plural spouses.
Yes...many others on news sites have said they find his statement "off" for all the reasons we've been discussing here.
I thought about something earlier...with all the murders in this country, how often does a case really go national? Not THAT often. It has to be something fairly sensational. this fits because it was a pregnant woman..,but not JUSTthat. The whole murder during a robbery at 6:45 am is just OFF. What kind of burglar breaks into a nearby house a "couple hours earlier" (according to police), waits around, sees husband leave around 6:10, WAITS SOME MORE, and finally goes in around 6:45? It's uncommon enough for a burglary to end in murder this way...the timing and fact he was at the gym (conveniently) makes it even weirder.
So I think many instinctively knew something was weird about this case, including the media, which is why it was picked up so fast.
i just watched the news report on Amanda's celebration of life and I'm puzzled. Everyone close to her, immediate family, father in law, mother in law, even the grandfather in law spoke about how they loved Amanda and why. But, nothing from the husband? I didn't see the entire celebration, just that news clip. Does anyone know if the husband spoke at all?
It was very difficult watching her family talk about their love for Amanda. I could feel how special she was to all of them. Amanda had a beautiful smile that lit up her face. She was very real in those few video clips I've seen. May God bless her and keep her close. And may her son know how wonderful his mom was in her short time on this earth.
What does CD stand for? Is that an acronym?
In the Q&A session taped on stage, Amanda spoke out twice saying he was lying. First, was when he wanted to "clarify" that him touching her bare leg is what she was refering to when she said they had "messed up" while they were dating. The second time, was when he said they had just received a call from a newly married couple saying they were moving back because their church was absolutely the best church. Amanda really seems to have been a very loving person with a pure heart that couldn't stomach deceit and obviously would not have any part of it. It is heartwrenching to think of her little boy growing up without her. Years ago, I did extensive research into personality disorders in order to help my bestfriend escape a horrific marriage to someone with a sociopathic personality. This is a terrifying disorder. A person with this disorder doesn't have a conscience, completely lacks empathy and is truly malevolent. They seek out benevolent people to use to attract people to themselves to further their personal/ professional goals. They are insanely jealous of and despise that person's innate goodness, and wickedly set out to spiritually and physically destroy that person. One is in most danger physically if they can not be controlled and especially if they dare to expose them.
I got the videos eventually - I find Davey so disagreeable, I find him menacing - Amanda must have been a saint to endure him. It seems everything she did or didn't do annoyed him. She is constantly disparaged. The How to Win a Fight video was most odd - especially his belief that the audience must be in quite such bad relationships as his own. He's so selfish, it beggars belief - the bit about his not coming home from work every night until hours after the dinner was spoiled says a lot - that he kept doing it, and felt sorry for himself when finally Amanda didn't wait up for him and left his meal on the table. Someone should have told her that she really could not make a silk purse from a sow's ear, but she must have believed in miracles, the transforming power of faith, etc. - it could happen yet, but so sad it didn't happen for her, and Weston.
Also,I thought he used the talk to either (or variously) minimise, pre-empt or try to dismiss under the guise of 'it's common knowledge' and pretty normal' some of the ways in which he abused Amanda. She had begun to talk about it with someone, and he was mad with her that his image was being spoiled, and it shows.
As to Davey's immaturity:
https://instagram.com/p/92G6YTJngn/
Also, his tweet from Oct 14 when his blood was pumping in anticipation of speaking in four weeks time on the subject of 'How do you get rid of worry?' The notepad also has written on it 'we don't know what to do, but our eyes are on you' - the same words which appeared on one of his sites shortly after Amanda was shot - possibly before the life support was switched off, I don't remember. Perhaps it's another church catchphrase of his.
https://mobile.twitter.com/daveyblackburn/status/654301847671427072
They went to Chicago for a 'romantic getaway' during October - Amanda liked five star hotels, Davey would have preferred to go camping, at least according to one of his talks. Well, I hope he didn't spoil that for her, too, and carp on the whole time how much he would have preferred to be roughing it in under canvas in the wilderness with a stick of butter. Not that I've seen the movie, but I get the unpleasant gist of it from the comments. I dislike him so much I can't be objective - if he is not involved in his wife's murder, he'll have a difficult time dealing with public opinion of him on account of his videos. Strange, how once taken outside the intended audience, the cold light of day can shine in on so much weirdness. Do they see what he is like, how much unpleasantness he condones whilst appearing not to condone itl and all in the name of Christ? It sends shudders down my spine, and that after only a few hours of him. Poor Amanda to have endured him all of her short adult life, trying to believe in him, no doubt, trying to make it work. He did not deserve her, and now she is dead - he should be besides himself with regrets and remorse for the way he treated and spoke of her, but no - it's still all about him.
Anon @ 2.32 - his lies are casual - they come naturally to him. The story about his fifth grade sex education class, and more specifically what he says he told his mother about it - it's a joke, which he tries to make out is true - he just lies for lying's sake, and expects to be believed. It's dangerous in a pastor, priest, minister, because everyone expects them to be truthful and are all too willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, or believe them against the other, if there is one - pernicious - I don't like Davey. I can imagine how difficult Amanda found his lies - as there was such conflict in the relationship, they may often have been about her, and on stage, in her absence. Why would she not eventually turn to someone for help in dealing with her very difficult, lying, controlling, self-obsessed husband? Poor girl, makes me wonder if he hypnotised everyone into believing in him through that awful repetitive music which starts up towards the end of the talks.
Beckster. CD stands for Crazy Davey. It suits him well.
RE:
The best is yet to come.
Nothing is wasted.
I think it's interesting that the Blackburn's babysitter/church greeter, MG, paints platitudes such as "the best is yet to come" in cursive on bits of wood and sells them on her Etsy which is called...wait for it ..."Nothing is wasted."
Coincidentally (?!)" Nothing is wasted" was the last song played at Amanda's funeral.
MG's Instagram is interesting too. Lots of pics of Weston and Davey but none of Amanda. Unless you count the pic of Weston (captioned: my new best friend") with Amanda cropped out. (You can read the name tag, though)
How awful for MG. Imagine moving to Indianapolis to visit your "favourite church planters" for 6 months and have one of them brutally murdered.
Juliet, you make me laugh. " .....he would have preferred to be roughing it under canvas in the wilderness with a stick of butter"
I know I shouldn't, but geez, Juliet.
I know, Anon - I just can't help,it sometimes. :-/.
In the train station videos, Amanda seems to miss Weston. She looks so sad when he he talking about duty/doodie.
Sorry, I repeated Anon's info about the 'we don't know what to do' note - I hadn't read all the posts. 'Extremely heavy hearts today' - that sounds convincing, not. I would think Davey wrote that, and probably most of what has been written on the websites.
Who is MG with the Etsy - does anyone have links, please? I already disapprove - not good to post photos of the father and baby, especially not good to post pics of a baby and crop out baby's mother - disrespecting, undermining, too much of a liberty. What was Amanda putting up with altogether, one has to wonder. I can imagine, if she challenged that, 'Well, Davey said it was fine...' Getting all worked up now, time for a break. I can imagine she must have felt like public property at times, as that would be an occupational hazard, but hands off the baby - I would be fuming. Or were the photos only posted after Amanda's murder?
Thank you Anonymous at November 16 @11.38!
What's with all the suffering a wound to the head - is that somehow a way of avoiding saying his wife was murdered? I forgot already, but I think it was the pastor who gave the talk at the celebration who said he thought from Davey's first message to him that Amanda must have knocked her head on a cupboard. Why would Davey not say 'a maniac came into our house and shot Amanda in the head'? He didn't say 'gunshot wound' in the message to his friend - he said she had suffered a wound to the head, or a head wound - no mention of an intruder gun, bullet or murder. The guy thought she knocked herself out on a cupboard. That is very strange? Or is it not so strange, more considerate, not wanting to tell the whole truth, and alarm close friends? I don't know, but 'considerate' doesn't spring immediately to mind in relation to Davey.
Sorry Peter, I cannot answer your request for comment with one short paragraph, primarily because I agree with every poster here who have already said everything I would say, only better. There isn't a one I disagree with. All are excellent.
I find this minister/pastor so disgusting as to be claiming to represent our Lord in the House of God, bothin the manner which he was practicing his swaggering money craft and in his attitude towards his wife's murder. I find him utterly sickening; he makes me want to puke hammering at young people about his sexual desires and demands of his embarrassed and bullied wife and calling this leading people to Christ. God, he's gross. This is not the purpose of God's house or servants.
I have been to a couple of churches like his and could not wait to make my exit; one a beautiful building where the highly successful pastor dresses in his tight fitting jeans and bulging open shirt while prancing around all over the place, with the church band literally running into the audience clamoring their loud rock gospel music and looking like they just hopped off the tour bus having slept in their clothes all night.
Jesus, what a horrible sight to behold. This ten piece band was more interested in exposing their scantily clad bodies than they were in anything else. A couple of the girls in the band had their skirts so short you could see their thong panties. But they all suddenly fell under the spirit as if they had just been overcome by the holy ghost with the audience following along. No respect at all for the House of the Lord. Would one walk into a court room and face a judge dressed like these people who present themselves so callously in the House of God? Ha. Just try it and watch which way your case goes: down the drain.
Same as attending a funeral and life celebration. Where was the honor for the deceased? Initially, her sexually deviate husband didn't even bother to mention her parents or show any respect towards them, the people who birthed, raised and loved her the most.
The thing that galls me the most is this comment: "The best is yet to come." WHAT BEST?? The woman is dead, murdered, along with her unborn baby. There can be no "best" when the worst has already happened. What the hell is wrong with people?
BTW, I DO think he is involved in her murder and I don't apologize for saying it. Every point you made in both these articles are right on target, just as those are of the posters above. The man is guilty as sin, I'm just not sure yet what sin. I just hope he is brought down. The media is so good about slinging mud at religious organizations and scamming preachers and televangelists; this is one I hope they DO bring down low. Particularly this so-called preacher who is a blight on young people with his sexual prowess and misuse of the lovely Name of Jesus. ABB
The vacuuming is totally fine. Why is everyone making such a big deal out of that? I vacuum all the time and my husband gets annoyed! She was in nester mode! The sister was mentioning to illustrate that Amanda was excited and sweet...to the point of cleaning for her baby to come home to a clean house! As well, my water broke and I did not feel ANYTHING for hours after it happened!
I watched the memorial, it was outrageous! Lord have mercy. The megachurch pastor/false teacher Perry Noble (let's call him what he is) had an alter call of sorts at the end (which never mentioned repenting of sins for reference) and had the audacity to tell everyone who was responding to the call "don't worry no one's eyes are open no one can see except for Davey, I want Davey to see this, Davey look around" ARE U KIDDING ME? These people are so evil! The Lord rebuke them for disrespecting Amanda!
Not to mention...the "funeral" is in some dark room, concert like, with rock star looking dudes playing music on-stage when Perry isn't preaching his watered down gospel.
Lord have mercy. This is the DARK place we are in. It is a DARK place they were in. RIP Amanda.
The Lord has preserved His name. The name Jesus was not even the same name Christ used. There is no J in the Hebrew Language, nor is there a sound like J. Many people know this but I find it fascinating still that God has preserved His name against vipers and evil men such as the likes of these.
I find it ODD and very STRANGE the police will not release the video of the killer...the 5'4 to 5'9 black man wearing a hoodie?
This is unheard of! Tell me what murder happens to an innocent victim in their own home and the video is not released immediately for the public? Something is OFF about this.
The police would be on a manhunt if this were really the case! The video would be on the news...and a composite sketch would be in line too! There would be an ominous warning to the public! There's not!
The police are playing some type of game...WHY? the comment "you aren't as good as you think you are" from LE is bizarre. What detective says that about a thug who robbed a house? No thug robbing a house would be so premeditated. IT is obvious the police think this was PLANNED. No doubt about it.
The subject of her murder would not even be a topic had her husband not been a preacher. It's not about her being a cute, young blond or black person killed white person. The curiosity is that a "preachers wife" was murdered.
Had the doors been properly secured and neighbors more alert, her murder would never have happened.
Only after her murder will they pretend to take the above steps.

Agreed about the video- so strange it has not been released.
I keep seeing references to the train station video. Anyone have a link to that? Thx
I highly believe /suspect that Davey runs the churches social media accounts . Which makes the November 10th post so much more troubling
The police must think this is someone young without the ability to leave the area. Within walking distance. Given time, he (they) will return. It would depend on what all the other burglaries produced. How many TVs, computers, etc. How many stolen vehicles. What were the age of the vehicles.Newer ones demand a chip in the key and older ones are easier to steal...unless there is key swapping going on.
Key bumping, photo apps to reproduce keys, etc. allows easy entry into homes so no force is noted.
If she was doing her devotion, the house was most likely silent...no warning to intruder someone would be in there.Dog outside.Others probably heard their dogs barking but could see no one as they'd most likely look in their backyards when the culprit was walking in front on the street.
Seems that CD's mentor and eulogist Perry Noble, has been in the hot seat for "rewriting" the Ten Commandments and then preaching it. His credentials have also come into question. In his blog, he has written twice about Amanda and each time he has called for JUSTICE in bringing whoever is responsible to justice, so there is that. It is more than CD has done. Also, "the best is yet to be" seems to be the catch phrase for Noble's church. I'm assuming that is why CD has been using it to describe Amanda's killing (not murder, killing) CD Still using soft language for a brutal, horrible murder and not mentioning once that killer(s) be brought to justice.
The videos are on youtube...just search "Davey Blackburn" on youtube site and you will find the train station videos.
Lynda..why do you keep referring to Davey as CD?
Thanks, aliasapology!
I also find it troubling that the Church's facebook page was so quick to announce her dead on Wednesday when the Coroners office stated in multiple publications that she was still alive that day.
Thats a interesting instagram page anon 08:19
Church members move more rapidly concerning the murder of it's lead pastor than a government agency. That should be a no brainer even to a seasoned armchair crime pundit.
Lead pastor's wife...his support system
daveyblackburn @daveyblackburn Nov 14
One thing that always brought tears to my eyes was watching @AmandaGrace worship. I know she will be worshiping with us all day tomorrow.
Worshiping what, whom?
https://twitter.com/daveyblackburn ^^^ Link
Or he just left the "s" off "job." I think the "we" means his audience is a group over an individual polygamist.

http://resonateindianapolis.com/front-page/podcasts/
In this theatrical performance, at 35.25 he mentions "life insurance" ---thank you to original poster.
Alias...I'm using it as an abbreviation for "Crazy Davey" a moniker that seems to be catching on thruout the internet. I don't think that he will ever be known as anything else now. I'm sure he loathes the fact that that was brought up in Amanda's eulogy.
There elements of Sociopathy creeping into his language.
So other commenters don't have to give their IP address to a politically motivated blog and suffer terror for their curiosity (is that really a meter reader or are they merely trying to peer into my home type thing though they have the #s 2122 on the bumper...can't be sure anymore), I clipped the salient points to be made from
http://freedomoutpost.com/2015/01/mega-church-leader-perry-noble-rewrites-ten-commandments/
Here's how he lays it out:
You shall have no other gods before me becomes You do not have to live in constant disappointment anymore.
You shall not make an image becomes You can be free from rituals and religion and trust in a relationship.
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain becomes You can trust in a name that's above every name.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy becomes You can rest.
Honor your father and mother becomes Your family does not have to fall apart.
You shall not murder becomes You do not have to live in a constant state of anger because you will be motivated by love and not hate.
You shall not commit adultery becomes You do not have to live a life dominated by the guilt, pain and shame associated with sexual sin.
You shall not steal becomes I will provide.
You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor becomes You do not have to pretend.
You shall not covet becomes I will be enough.
Friends, this is a distortion of what Scripture says. While I grant that each of the statements is true, both the commandments and what Perry turns them into, they are not the same things. There is a difference. One is the law of God and the other are truths we know from what God's Word teaches.
I hate monikers and they just confuse readers. It is also immature to say the least. Noble is no more crazy than Davey....these are men cut from the same cloth...pun intended...just perhaps he saw him as competition. That is why he wanted him out of his town and out of his church. Davey never wanted to move to Indianapolis to begin with! I posted about False Teacher Perry Noble long ago... like yesterday...concerning his 10 commandments, so Lynda you are late to that party.
Why hasn't the video been released? That is the pressing concern at this moment for me. Nancy Grace needs to get her spies on this case ASAP. She already has her suspicions and she made a point of them, in so many words last week.
Perry Noble has a large amount of articles (just google his name + ten commandments) from many different denominations regarding his 10 commandment service. All condemning him of course and bringing up his lack of proper theological education.
The vacuuming thing was just something Shannon and I were discussing after I believe Carnival brought it up. It's not a big deal.
That's your opinion and it's ok and totally fine with you, and I respect that.
She very well may have been cleaning and her sister trying to be sweet and show how much she wanted to get ready for the baby.
But anyone who has had their water break at home, knows that you immediately start to leak amniotic fluid everywhere (hence the term).
(Awesome on the not feeling a thing for hours- I'm thinking this probably didn't happen to you either)
So unless she was wearing an adult diaper, vacuuming was probably a moot point. Def a bad idea unless you want to have to clean a bigger mess.
But I digress.
These are JMTO.
Can we assume someone from LE was at memorial service? I too thought, "Whoa! This is not good" when speaker brought up the Crazy Davy business and the comment, "This guy ain't right." That came way out of the blue. But then I got to thinking about a few devoted Christians I know who are also extreme extroverts and a bit off-putting. They could easily be cast as Crazy _______ too in a jesting manner. Someone might then conclude that person was malicious in some way. (I'm an Olympic-size jumper to conclusions, though!) I'm flummoxed about this whole thing. It's possible that this guy, who feels the desire to publicize and comment on every waking moment of his life, often inappropriately, is in no way connected--that when under the microscope, he appears "not right" enough to BE connected.
Didn't this murder occur this past Tuesday? Wow--think about all that has transpired since then! Horrible scene when he arrives home, organ donation, death of both mom& baby, coherent messages publicized almost immediately, planning and carrying out memorial service. Enough to make one's head spin! I know myself, and if this were my spouse, I'd still be in mute shock, feeling violated, vulnerable, and absolutely crushed and nonfunctional for a while. Although I believe the Christian "platitudes" that immediately became the narrative, it would take me a while to mouth them. The pain would be great and unavoidable.
Thanks for posting he babysitter's Instagram. Anyone notice the pic from 1 week ago was a surprise 30th birthday party for Crazy Davey? Wonder if anything happened at the party that caused trouble between him and Amanda?
Like others here have said...why isn't LE releasing the surveillance video of the killer? When a random murder happens in the suburbs and the cops dot know who the killer is, but they have him on video, they release that info to the public. For help in identifying the perpetrator as well as warn the community. There has been no message saying "a killer is one the loose!!" Why not? Because they know who they are looking for and know the person isn't out there randomly attacking people. I believe they know that Amanda was the intended victim.
Betty said...
I'm glad it's not just me that arched an eyebrow over sister's post. She's clearly a bit of a drama queen (the description of Amber's face when she died didn't jive with what I have seen in similar situations) and the rest of it sounds like the over-the-top religiosity some people spout when they can't think of an original thought. I'm not sure what to think of her relationship with her sister and Davey but she sounds off.
To quote Pee Wee Herman ( I tend to focus on the interllectuals with pure hearts and minds): I know you are, but what am I?
How tall is the babysitter? I'm just being sarcastic..or not.
It's not that cops DOT know who the killer is, it's how many more will be arrested for interfering and keeping the suspect from being arrest just to fulfil their agendas.
OK I am also a nurse AS is Amanda's sister... When my water broke it did not continue to leak. It broke, leaked and then stopped. This happens to a lot of women. Not everyone woman's fluid continues to leak.This isn't about opinions this is about people going on and on and on over someone vacuuming and reading into something totally unrelated and clogging up the comments which I am now also doing!
Thank you so much Peter for opening this discussion. It is very refreshing. On another forum, we can't even discuss all of the concerning and odd behavior from Davey and it's relation to this case because he hasn't been named an official suspect/POI. In fact, this link was posted on that forum and it was quickly dismissed. Thank you so much.
CD told everyone to wear jeans and then didn't wear them himself! Khakis..

#daveyblackburn blocked me after tweeting him the Crime Stoppers number #AmandaBlackburn #NothingIsWasted
Looks like CD is on SM quite a bit and starting to block people. He was also tweeting during Amanda's funeral service.
https://twitter.com/hashtag/NothingIsWasted?src=hash
So glad he had his phone out and twittering during service. What an idiot.
Peter..you will be interested to know that on no SM anywhere that I can find has there been a cry for justice from CD, NOR has he posted phone# of crimestoppers for his wife and childs murders.
What does this mean? That the surviving victim of a brutal murder has not asked for justice or helped in spreading the crimestoppers number to call? Is it distancing or something more deceiving?
Lynda, maybe it's for the same reason the Marine recruiting offices do not want 2nd amendment rednecks guarding their posts
I posted at 2:32 a.m in reference to Amanda standing up to him twice pointing out that he was lying. Could someone with knowledge of SA please review his verbal responses. They are bizarre and I'm sure they are loaded. I apologize for not having the time stamp, but I just couldn't bring myself to watch that sickening crap again to get them. Amanda comes across as a very loving, intelligent and wise woman who has her eyes wide open to what she has been "yoked" to. I believe she was strong enough to change that. The timing of the train trip/couples time is very suspicious. I suspect she was done after she searched out the meaning of his reference to butter. She was a very beautiful woman, but at the train station she looked awful. Wearing sunglasses in the shade when trying to reach people with your sincerity is very hinky. I suspect this was a trip to change her mind and her eyes were swollen from crying.

I agree that the videos were the beginning of the end for Amanda. I posted it somewhere here. Davey was exposed for who he is, and I'll guarantee you he blamed Amanda. His body language after telling about Internet blocks tells it all. He knew he'd blown it.
I have been thinking a lot about the suspicion of DB. For me, it is based upon the logistical circumstances of AND his statements after the murder.
Amanda's brother also posts with "positivity" and complete lack of vengeance. Perhaps this is just the way this family is wired with their (incredibly) deep faith.
I need to step back. I would hate to see an innocent man victimized just because the crime logistics are hinky and his statements are awkward to me.
These false prophets and prosperity mockers of God's Holy Word and their followers of the flesh are walking on dangerous ground. Fools, all. They are "blind leaders of the blind, having tingling ears." "Take heed that you follow no man, lest you both fall into the ditch." "Follow me, I am the truth, the light and the way." "He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear." The words of Jesus. Thank you ailasapology for pointing out that His Holy name has been preserved.
The best is yet to come is when our Lord redeems us unto himself, where we will be with Him forever more. It is not in this life, and our hope is not in this life. Only a fool would believe this. ABB
My feeling about Amanda running the vacuum was the risk of having the cord looped around the baby's neck due to the strenuous activity of pushing and pulling on the vacuum cleaner. During the last months of my pregnancies I was warned not to do anything strenuous, not even to reach above my head to put dishes in the cabinets, etc., or do any physical exercises. IMO, Amanda should have been lovingly stopped whether she wanted to or not.
It appears MG was living with the Blackburns until 10 weeks ago.

Well, either way.
I'm glad you and Amanda's sister are both nurses - we need more nurses!!!
Moving along then!
Lol!
Whoa!
#nothingwasted
Well. That's unusual.
Any reason why she is t living there now?
Oh and ps. alias apology
Like I said, I had a feeling that didn't happen to you.
They call it a high leak. Or am I wrong about that?
Everyone is different. ;)
The very surreal tweet by Davey on Oct. 14 was favorited by MG as well....If you look at the MG's nothingswasted instagram page it also has the controversial slogan as well under neath the heading "The Best is always yet to come!"
I'm the neighbor who wrote above.
Actually another neighbor linked this blog which is how I found it. I questioned the husband's motives from the beginning, this kind of solidified what I was thinking already.
Anon 2:01-the second?
Can you go into detail for the questioning of his motives?
Anon 2:01
Yes please! enlighten us. Is ANYTHING the media and police are saying true? What's the deal with the neighbor 2 doors down that was supposedly burglarized also? Are you the neighbor that says someone else was shot also? At that time of the morning, with people up and moving about, no one saw this alleged burglar carrying numerous televisions and electronic around? Why do you question motives? What do other neighbors think?
BTW...I think there is a huge difference between vengeance and justice. I don't expect vengeance, even though that would be expected to some degree by certain people, but I do expect a call for justice from the husband. CD refusal to post that on SM, which it seems he is on quite a bit, is unexpected. As is his refusal to post the crimestoppers number to his wife's case.
You don't know what you are talking about, I go to her dads church...it is 3.5-4 hours away...check a map...

IMPD witholding video of alleged suspect in murder
http://www.indystar.com/story/news/crime/2015/11/16/impd-withholding-video-suspect-amanda-blackburn-killing/75869730/
What do you mean, Anonymous at 3:46 p.m.? My heart aches for her parents. I can't even imagine what they're going through. Amanda seems like she was an awesome person. I am angry that her husband didn't seem to treat her that way, and angry that her life was stolen. I would bet her parents are the same kind of people she was.
Crazy Davey's family ties
The young family has ties to the Bartlesville area. Her husband, Davey Blackburn, pastor of Resonate Church in Indianapolis, Ind., is the grandson of Jim and Martha Blackburn, former board members at Oklahoma Wesleyan University. He is also the nephew of Eddy Shigley, former vice president of student development at OKWU, and cousin to Caroline Hay, daughter-in-law to Ron and Barney Hay of Bartlesville - See more at: http://examiner-enterprise.com/living/features/death-pastor-s-wife-resonates-across-social-media-fund-set#sthash.cfs7pwy3.dpuf
https://www.instagram.com/p/6U7WwnuH3Z/?taken-by=megsgriff
This photo has a dog in it, and appears to be at the Blackburn's house. So this dog just let some guy in a hoodie walk in and kill his master without a peep?
Law Enforcement STILL not releasing the video. WHY??? What is going on? What is the reason? Can anyone help me? Are they trying not to ruffle feathers by showing a black male hooded suspect? I am sure there are MANY black males who where hoodies and have that build. IS that why? IS it because there is no way to see the suspects face? What is the reason for this? Are they hoping he will then try to hide?
I mean is LE worried the suspect will hide? OR try to change his appearance? Something is very wrong with this investigation. Something is known to LE and they are trying to take the attention off this case.
I find it hard to believe that if they have video, they have not narrowed down the height to almost exactly perfect. I would think its easier enough to do when you use the perspective of objects around him/her. 5'4? That's a teenager or a woman. Slight build? Same. If the hoodie was around their face, how do they even know its a man and black at that? Hands? Could it be a dark skinned Mexican? A mixed race? How dark was it anyway? The sun didn't even rise until 7:23 am that day. At 6:30 it still would have been dark out. How much could they possibly see? How did he/she get in house? No signs of break-in and police even say it is not "typical" home invasion. It's not an invasion AT ALL. I don't know why they call it that. Any other time it would be "she interrupted a burglary" not she was a victim of a home invasion. Nothing makes sense except the media picked up the word "invasion" and everyone is just repeating it.
Davey and Resonate Church have both blocked me on Twitter. I'm @watchkeep.
I am so sad for her, that this is how her husband and church are treating people who call for her murderer to be brought to justice!!
Amy I am not shocked! I think it is getting pretty obvious that Davey had something to do with this.
I have to admit I get the creepiest feeling even commenting on this case with Davey on the loose. HE seems like he could be a madman to me. I am actually kind of frightened of him.
"LIVE TUESDAY on Good Morning America: Davey Blackburn will discuss the case with the national ABC News crew. Tune in to RTV6 at 7 a.m. to watch that, with a preview to the Blackburn case on Good Morning Indiana before that at 6 a.m."
http://www.theindychannel.com/news/local-news/detectives-pleading-for-more-tips-in-amanda-blackburn-homicide
As to sex and church: I have no disagreement with it being taught, rather my disagreement is him "sharing" his personal sex life with young people while reading faces and then meeting with the young kids afterwards to "hang you"....It is projecting himself, distinctly about sex, in a message to teenagers.
I completely agree with you on this Peter. To me, it's like testing for reactions.
A woman I know who was married began to hang out with her husband and their neighbor couples. The husband started with light sexual jokes and comments which got a response from the woman. That response then opened the doors to more. They ended up in a full on affair and destroyed 2 marriages.
It was testing the waters.
Like this man is doing.
And I too think there are affairs that may or may not come to light.
They posted the video picture of the suspect! Very slender build.
The babysitter has set her page to private.
OK I just watched Davey on Good Morning America and I feel like he is lying.
My take on Davey's interview...a pregnant mom is murdered leaving behind a child and husband and all the husband can talk about is Jesus and never shedding a tear. Give me a break...smells fishy to me!
Peter what happened to the blog about the good morning america video?
I am sad the post is gone too -- I read it quickly, but intended to come back to it. I hope you will put it back up but understand if you're unable to.
I am obsessed with this case. It has distracted me since last week. I am so very angry that this young woman, who seems to be kind, selfless, loving, and concerned with living a Godly life, was executed and no one close to her is calling for justice! Her little son will grow up without his mother, and absolutely no one can replace that love, and no one is calling for justice for him! I feel like it can be "well with one's soul" and one can have "peace that passes understanding" while still demanding justice. Identify the perpetrator, pray for his/her repentance, help him/her make a new life, forgive him/her... but they haven't even spoken to the person who did this. Not to say, "How could you do this?" or "How dare you?!" or "Turn yourself in" or "We forgive you" or "Amanda would forgive you" or "There is a new life available to you through Christ, where you can be forgiven for this terrible thing." Not a word, that I've seen.
Is it just me or does this case remind you of the Scott and Laci Peterson case where Scott strangled his precious pregnant wife? Davey's lack of emotion and express and concern for Amanda is the same as Scott's was for Laci. Both such tragic cases.
Peter,
Am wondering what you think of Davey's interview by a NBC News producer?
Part one: http://www.wthr.com/clip/12008994/davey-blackburn-interview-part-1
Part two: http://www.wthr.com/clip/12009012/davey-blackburn-interview-part-2
Good analysis. We should also look at Davie's use of the words, "I think...and I would want...." during the GMA interview.
Is megsgriff instagram and twitter now private? I can't get into it now
After reading through these comments, it is fairly obvious why certain people should not be in law enforcement. Feelings are not facts. Some of the comments on this page is disgusting, and I do hope Amanda's parents have been protected from reading any of this.
To the author of this I have to tell you that I am afraid of you. There is no way you learned the skills displayed here simply by studying and remembering. You had to have been born with a heightened sense of awareness combined with an above average IQ. Flattery aside I loved this. Every bit. Unbiased and factual. Here's hoping I never run into anyone like you in the future, but if I do I'd love an autograph.
Can anyone here believe that Davey sat out in his driveway for 50 minutes while Amanda lay injured in their home fighting for her life.... LK
