Peter Hyatt on "Crime Wire": The Murder of Amanda Blackburn
February 23, 2017, Peter Hyatt will be a guest on "Crime Wire" live broadcast, and will be taking your calls and questions at 9am to 1030AM EST.
Amanda Blackburn was a victim of a sexual homicide in which arrests have been made.
Questions, however, remain in one of the most bizarre 'solved' murder cases of recent years.
Peter Hyatt will share analysis of the case, including deception detection techniques, and what this may mean for justice.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 4313 Newer› Newest»The stolen Sebring was found at 3800 Rookwood Ave. The stolen SUV was found at 40th & Rookwood, less than a mile away. Seems like pretty convincing evidence that others were involved and the SUV that was seen on Davey's street 10 min before Davey was leaving for the gym holds the clues to the conspiracy.
The way this case has unfolded, the random coincidences (nobody is THIS lucky) and Davey's words and actions before and since Amanda was killed indicate that he arranged to have her killed. The front door was left unlocked on purpose. Davey saying his reason was because "she was about to get up anyways" - or - that he left it unlocked to teach Amanda a lesson (choose one) is his excuse or reason for doing it, once people started calling him out for doing it and said he showed no remorse about it.
Maybe he never said he left the door unlocked to teach her a lesson - that doesn't change the fact that he left it unlocked and told Detective Perkins he did it. In a neighborhood known for violent crime.
I do not live in a high crime neighborhood - the worst we've experienced so far is some guys in hoodies going around at night and checking the doors of cars parked on the street and if they are unlocked, rummaging through the cars and taking whatever they can snatch and grab. We park both cars in the garage and lock them even there - so it's hard to imagine someone leaving their car unlocked out on the street or leaving anything valuable in a car on the street or in a parking lot, whether locked or unlocked.
So even in a safe neighborhood, we keep every door locked all the time - even the one from the garage into the house - unless we are right in the same room with the slider door open to the backyard. Before we go to sleep at night, I come back downstairs and make sure the garage door is down and check all of the doors and sliders to make sure they are locked. EVERY night. It's a habit. The same when leaving the house - every time.
So I find it hard to believe that, especially in this neighborhood, this family didn't routinely lock doors - and IF they did routinely lock them (once in the habit) then it takes effort and thought to actually LEAVE the door unlocked - and much more effort and thought to actually remember that you did it.
Why would Davey admit that ?
Has anyone noticed that Davey used to write on his blog almost every day for awhile - now he has not written again since the "I popped the question and she said yes" blog. Maybe someone told him to shut it down and stop digging an even deeper hole than he has already dug for himself.
Does anyone really believe this - about one of Davey and Kristi's (he says) earliest conversations?
“Wow. So you’ve been closely connected with our story for a while then, huh?” I peered at her with a new interest. You see, several months after Amanda passed I wrote something in my prayer journal: Lord, if you ever bring me another wife here’s what I ask for, that she loves you more than she loves me, that she loves me, that she loves Weston, and that she loves Amanda.
I knew that was going to be crucial because much of my life to come I’ll be sharing Amanda’s story and our journey through trial and tragedy.
It would take a special woman to step into that calling, a secure woman, someone who was grounded in her own identity with Christ and who wouldn’t merely be okay with me carrying the story but who would be able to help me champion it.
“Um yeah. I’m connected in some other ways but I don’t think you’ll want me to tell you this.” She shuffled her feet a little and looked around the room.
“What is it?” I was intrigued.
“Well. Um. Davey, my stepdad is one of the Chaplains for the Marion County Prison System.” She paused as if to let what she said set in for a second. “And he has regular conversations with the men that killed Amanda.”
I felt all the blood rush out of my face and the room began to spin. "What?!" I was dumbfounded. What are you doing, God? This girl that I’ve been interested in for a couple months has this close of connection with my story?
Amanda's story has become Davey's story - for a long time now.
The blood rushed out of his face and the room began to spin when he found out that Kristi's stepdad was in contact with Amanda's alleged killers (who may very well not be "the men who killed Amanda"). That is more descriptive of how he should've felt when he walked in from the gym and found Amanda lying face down in a pool of blood. His description of that morning? Not even close to the same emotion.
Nobody is convinced that Davey met Kristi the way he says he did. Nobody is convinced that Weston was softly cooing upstairs behind the still-closed door that morning in November 2015. Nobody is convinced that Amanda would have chosen this path for her life and that she willingly laid down her life to save Indy.
And nobody is convinced that this guy for one second ever grieved, uh, the loss which was devastating to, uh, the family. He was moving on from the second he planned this hit - he had prepared his statement, expected to find Amanda dead when he walked in, had to give a story to 911 on the fly and has been doing damage control ever since.
The news crews knew it - the press knew it -I believe the IMPD and the FBI know it too. Detective Perkins learned when he got to Methodist Hospital that Amanda wasn't just "injured and unconscious", she had actually been shot in the head and was not expected to survive. That's a far cry from "Amanda has collapsed", "Amanda has a head wound", "maybe we just lost the baby right here, but um".
I agree with Kate that with the trials and the FOIA, it is just a matter of time until this case blows wide open.
Anon, yes I believe very much that this was a carefully planned plot by DB himself to have his wife killed. For those that don't, I still think should reconsider bringing him in to speak at pro-life events when he deliberately left the door unlocked and his wife and unborn baby were killed. His fault no matter what. I will just go with the fact Davey said from his mouth on camera that he left it opened because she was about to get up anyway. He basically said she and Weston were sleeping and I left the door unlocked. He shows absolutely no remorse for his mistake. I guess he was too busy setting up NothingisWasted.com,forming his Serendipity biz and meeting with car dealers, real estate agents and interior designers.

"Has LE ever mentioned finding Larry Taylor's DNA on anything related to Amanda's murder?"
This
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2015/11/23/suspect-murder-pastors-wife/76248516/
leads to this
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/crime/2015/11/23/amanda-blackburn-court-documents-charges-larry-taylor-and-jalen-watson/76282316/
which leads to this.
https://drive.google.com/viewerng/viewer?url=https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2572175/amanda-blackburn-case-larry-taylor-jalen-watson.pdf
The link directly above (the third one) contains the details of the crime. Yes, there is evidence of DNA and more. Sometimes you just have to dig and be prepared for lots of reading. I got this by googling 'Larry Taylor DNA Amanda Blackburn', and there are several links. You also will find the answer to your question about the suspect's (JW) face being covered. So, get ready to read; I think it is all in there. Pay attention to the dates, since other crimes are connected but have different dates and/or times.
Thnx Anon @ 2:42PM but I didn't see anywhere in those articles or the APC that stated Larry Taylor's DNA was found at Becker's or Amanda's. And no mention of whose DNA was found in the stolen SUV that was conveniently ditched right next to the stolen Sebring.
And no mention of whose DNA was found in the stolen SUV that was conveniently ditched right next to the stolen Sebring.
. . . which was conveniently ditched on the EXACT SAME STREET as Amanda's ex-youth pastor lived. That was not true - it was around the corner, but Davey said it as even more evidence to show the dots God was connecting. Another "what are the chances" thing about this case.
And Davey even said "listen" to his speaking audience before he told this tall tale. I can see him sitting in Starbucks with his mind spinning thinking what details can I add that will make the neatest, coolest, best story that I can tell !
Okay, here's my latest new theory: (from the RI)
DB talked about the fear that something bad was going to happen to the baby. He thought that they were going to lose the baby.
Moms out there, how soon can defects in a baby be noticed at doctor's appointments? Could there have been something wrong with the baby that would have caused DB to want the baby to be aborted. This, then, led to a fight between DB and AB.
It was way too early to confirm fetal abnormalities in such a healthy, young mom. The only way would require invasive testing which carries significant risk of miscarriage such that it is not offered unless there is a history of defects or advanced maternal age.
Thanks mom2many! Shoot, there goes that theory.
There was a fight all right. Amanda defended herself very well until someone pulled a gun on her. And even then, she charged into a bullet with her strong left arm. Davey puts himself with Amanda as the one of the shots that made contact went "across" her back.
Davey was right when he said he would "control" you with a gun, if he had to. Amanda was leaving his control, and had to be brought back into submission.
This might help, anon @3:22 PM
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/indiana-court-no-warrant-needed-to-force-dna-testing/
I see what you are saying. There is the generalization that DNA was taken in the probable cause affidavit (third link at 2:42 PM). The above link states that LE can take a DNA sample of a suspect. Maybe the samples that they have already taken from the scene and vehicle have already been matched with the swab that they might have taken after LT's arrest, if they have taken one. They also state in the probable cause affidavit about scrapings from under AB's fingernails and scratches on her face (if I remember correctly). If the above link is accurate, maybe that is what 'sealed' the deal, so to speak, for LT's arrest, that is, possibly matching the DNA from the scene and vehicle. It sure seems to be what did it for JW when they got a hit for his DNA from the pink sweater on CODIS.
A good video would be to show the violence, anger, and rage DB displays in his sermons.
And no mention of whose DNA was found in the stolen SUV that was conveniently ditched right next to the stolen Sebring.
Which they conveniently left the pink sweater in, among other glaring evidence. I'm surprised a bread crumb trail wasn't left.
Home run life week one from 4/3/16 shows a n example of Davey's treatment of his brother.
Again, for anon@3:22 P.M.
https://www.in.gov/judiciary/2725.htm
Here is an overview of the arrest process and certain requirements leading up to it. I am not able to read it all the way through to the end; however, the opening information is relevant, it seems, to your comment. It might explain why we do not have the specific information yet concerning LT and DNA and his arrest.
I hope it is helpful.
Can you further explain this Bobcat
Davey puts himself with Amanda as the one of the shots that made contact went "across" her back.
Thnx Anon at 5:13PM. I work for a defense attorney and and am knowledgeable with the ctiminal justice system, which is why I asked about the DNA. The fact that LE included Jalen Watson's DNA hit in the APC but didn't state anything about Larry Taylor's DNA hits nakes it appear that Taylor was charged just based on the statenents of the CI, who we know is Defendant Diano Gotdon.
I’m guessing Davey was talking in one of his appearances and said that one of the gunshot wounds was “across” Amanda’s back instead of saying one of the shots was “in” her back it “to” her back.
Davey would have to have been there with Amanda when it happened to know and be able to say that one of the shots went across her back.
Yet he had no idea there were bullets...
I vaguely remember that JW's DNA was traced because it was in the system, while LT's was not in the system. I don't think his DNA would have been completed by the time the affidavit was signed. Whether that has been connected since then hasn't been released in the media. I find the affidavit unconvincing, being too reliant on CI testimony and lacking in both circumstantial and physical evidence. We'll see what else they have against them once trial ensues.
Taylor was arrested in the summer before Amanda's murder so how could they not have his DNA in the system?
http://wfla.com/2015/11/23/seeking-death-penalty-undecided-in-killing-of-pastors-wife/
"A prosecutor says DNA testing points to one of the men charged in the death of a pastor’s pregnant wife as the person who was later recorded as using her stolen bank card.
Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry said Monday that DNA testing was a big break in the investigation that resulted in murder, burglary and other charges being filed against 18-year-old Larry Jo Taylor Jr. and 21-year-old Jalen E. Watson."
The first paragraph clearly states that DNA points to one (JW--we now know) with respect to the bank card; however, the second paragraph states that DNA was a 'big break' resulting in charges against both. Yet, the APC specifies only JW and generalizes other DNA found.
This then-updated link from another source states the same thing:
http://www.k5thehometeam.com/story/30587283/second-man-charged-in-death-of-amanda-blackburn
The date on the APC is November 23, 2015.
Taylor's DNA testing was completed by Dec 18. Maybe earlier?
This is the oldest article about his DNA I have come up with this far.
https://www.indystar.com/story/news/crime/2015/12/18/charges-blackburn-suspects-attacked-women-days-before-slaying/77573272/
What I find telling, is reports of his DNA is exclusively tied with the rape a week prior. It is not reported as placing him in the Blackburn home, or on Amanda. Why? If it was there, why would IMPD withhold that his DNA was located at the Blackburns?
Anon @ 6:47
"Across" is extremely important.
The Affadavit of Probable Cause describes Amanda's back wounds: "She also had a through and through gunshot wound which exited and entered her upper back. The back wound was downward."- per Dr. John Cavanaugh, Autopsy No. 15-1380, Affadavit of Probable Cause Pg. 18 P 2
Unless Davey had been given more detail about the trajectory of the shots, how would he know one went "across" her back? The APC says it was "downward". Some seem to think she was shot from above. I believe Amanda was charging forward with her left arm outstretched and was shot into her arm. She pulled her arm back and dipped her head down but continued charging forward. The second shot went "across" her back. No matter who was holding the gun doing the shooting, I was not there. It is also noted that the ME could not determine when Amanda had been shot.
Without explaining that he was informed by LE what the trajectory of the shots was, Davey asserts, in two separate instances (that I know of), that the shot through her back, was "across" her back. As it was a "downward" shot, meaning it entered closer to her neck and exited farther from her neck, it is reasonable to assume that Amanda was moving toward whoever shot the gun "across" from her.
Davey technically doesn't say he was with Amanda at the time of the gunshot, but that he relays it as "across" warrants questioning, especially if he hasn't been given that information by LE.
How would he know, if he wasn't there?
I'm compiling a collection of his statements in which he uses the word "across". He uses it accurately in all instances. Either it relates to:
1) expressing movement over a place or region
OR
2) expressing position or orientation
The million dollar question is, when the 2nd bullet went "across" Amanda's back, who was "across" from her?
“Across” Expressing Bullet wound position usage by Davey Blackburn:

“And so, (X) called the paramedics. We get her to the hospital, and I sat in the hospital waiting room holding Weston, just shaking and shivering him; shivering and telling him that, everything’s going to be OK, buddy. Everything’s going to be OK. Everything’s going to be OK. And the doctors came in, along with investigators, to tell me that things didn’t look good. To tell me that Amanda had three bullet wounds. One was in her, arm. One was, a flesh wound across, her back, and, the third was, the, third one was in the back of her head.”

"And we get to the hospital and I get in a waiting room and I’m waiting to see my wife in her hospital, bed, and, investigators, and, police officers and doctors come into the room and start questioning me. I had no idea what was going on. All I knew is that my wife was fighting for her life. (X) Had no idea why. Again thinking something had gone wrong with the pregnancy. And, here I am getting investigated and, questioned, about something, that was completely amiss to me. I find out through those investigators that she actually had three bullet holes, in her. One was in her arm. One was, grazed across the back of, her back and one was, actually through the back of her head. And the bullet was, that was in her head was currently lodged behind her eye.

Looks more like a resume than an obituary for a young mother, wife, friend, sibling, daughter, cousin, aunt, etc. PR stunt even in the obituary. I know most everyone has seen this, it just bears repeating.
This one is better:
Amanda Grace (Byars) Blackburn, 1987 - 2015

Yes, Kate, that is just one big marketing paragraph isn't it? Creepy! The #ForIndy thing, reallly? Because Amanda lived her life For Indy, we expect a big crowd of people from the area to attend! So manipulative. But I thought she gave her life for the dry bones of Elkhart?
Right Bingo, early manipulations meant for big bucks coming in from all over the place. This article describes one angle of monetary flow, as well as this:
"Blackburn recalled the time when he lost his mother, when Davey was a small child. He said he remembers his son asking him why he was crying, after learning of his mother's death.
"Davey looked back with that childhood faith and said 'Why are you crying? Grandma went to heaven, right,'" Blackburn said. "Davey has just has a very unshakable faith."

Not surprisingly my records did not show them involved. Also, the unlocked door was explained by DB that A had lost her house keys so he didn’t lock the door that morning. Apparently her key losing was a point of contention with him.
Same woman also said that DB didn't attend any of the events where his neighbors were awarded for helping catch Amanda's killers:

I awarded neighbors Crime Fighters if the Year- it’s a thing, in response to how proactive they were/are after AB. DB wasn’t present for that either. 52 individual recognitions, certificates, plaque, mayoral recognition. No DB anywhere.

Wow, anonymous at January 15, 2018 at 8:27 PM
Thank you! What can anyone even say to that. Of course, if this is true, this is just the proverbial tip of the iceberg. Not sure what to do with this. It would have to be corroborated, but how? Wow. God help WB if this is accurate.
Thanks for the links.
What was the name of the neighborhood watch captain?
Ryan McConnell was the name of the neighborhood watch captain. The guy who said in one interview "this is the beginning of a whole 'nother chapter in our life" (or 'lives").
"OUR" life? I always thought that was an interesting choice of words for a neighborhood watch captain to use, especially to use them after the wife of a possibly gay guy was killed.
Thanks for the links Anons. Ryan looked a bit like he lost someone dear in his life, a very sad and somber tone to him. Hope the lil fellar will be okay. He just couldn't refrain from bringing Davey up, I was waiting for it... and there it was. Too bad he didn't he didn't use his time to remind others to keep their doors locked, especially when their loved ones are in the home.
"OUR" life? I always thought that was an interesting choice of words for a neighborhood watch captain to use, especially to use them after the wife of a possibly gay guy was killed."
Huh???
I figured he was talking about the devastation to his neighborhood with the murder/loss of Amanada.
Are you implying something about Connell with the gay comment, flightfulbird?
Wow, Commander Moorman shows WAY more emotion reading the statement than DB ever did. The neighbors showed more compassion and concern and dressed up more than DB did for AB's funeral. What a worthless piece of crap he is, I cannot stand him.
Justice for AB. We're coming for you, DB!
Wow, and DB didn't care enough about his wife or neighbors to attend? They were honoring Amanda! He was probably already lusting after Kristi and couldn't be bothered. Once he had the money, he was in a new house,b again using "nothing is wasted" and snickering with his new term "serendipity". Right after her murder, CD ran to PN to get his marketing program together, including having P officiate ( even though he knew nothing of Amanda). How do the people who attended that "celebration"
just sit and watch without asking themselves " what in the hell?" Even now, why would anyone still be following him?
Perry Noble knew enough of Amanada to say she was what was 'right' with Davey, since he was "off."
I felt like Ryan pinged - he and Davey wore the same kind of matching sweaters - I found it curious. Ryan could have said it would be a fresh start for the neighborhood or that the neighborhood could finally rest and feel safe - instead of that it was the beginning of a whole 'nother chapter in our life. Even if he meant "the neighborhood", it would be too soon to say this in the immediate aftermath of Amanda's murder because I think that interview was before they had arrested anyone.
It sounded to me more like a relationship could begin with Amanda out of the way - but I don't think anyone wanted Amanda out of the way except for Davey.
Matching sweaters??? Oh geez
Why would Ryan say he and the neighborhood felt safe after Amanda was brutally murdered feet from where he lived???
That makes no sense and looks like you're trying to stretch stuff to fit your narrative. The stuff Davy did/didn't do seems like enough that you don't need to add any other ideas.
How do the people who attended that "celebration" just sit and watch without asking themselves " what in the hell?"
Even Debbie Hughey Parsons (who posts on the Justice Seekers - The Murder of Amanda Blackburn Facebook page and has said that Davey was cleared 1,000,000 percent) said that the funeral was "off" to her, not exact words, but her impression was that it was nothing about celebrating Amanda's life, that it felt empty. Her daughter and Amanda were apparently very close friends.
And it's true. Perry Noble spent more time talking about how beautiful Davey was than anything he said about Amanda.
I searched the page but couldn't find the post - but here is the link to the page - there are a lot of people there who also know there is more to the story.
https://www.facebook.com/Jutice4AmandaBlackburn/
Why would Ryan say he and the neighborhood felt safe after Amanda was brutally murdered feet from where he lived???
Then also why would Ryan say "this is the beginning of a whole 'nother chapter in our life" after Amanda was brutally murdered feet from where he lived? - in a news interview almost immediately afterward?
I felt what I felt when I saw that news interview with Ryan McConnell and heard that choice of words - I wondered if he and Davey could have been cruising on the sly together.
And Ryan worked with troubled youth in Indy, would he have known or worked with the accused sometime in the past ? There is already a link between the accused and the school in which Davey's "church" is held.
Can someone send this thread to Phil Byars? He needs to see the awards ceremony without DB there.
"Then also why would Ryan say "this is the beginning of a whole 'nother chapter in our life" after Amanda was brutally murdered feet from where he lived? - in a news interview almost immediately afterward?"
When something traumatic happens, people often see it as a kind of life marker. When my mom died, it was a life marker, With Mom and After Mom. A death like that in your neighborhood could result in that language easily. Let's not get carried away, despite my belief that Davey could be gay.
I will def give you that McConnell was shilling the Davey Gravy train of "Nothing is Wasted" but sweaters doesn't cut it.
I am very sorry for your loss of your mom, 11:42pm - my sincere condolences.
With your post, I can see where losing a loved one would be a defining marker - like you with your mom.
I cannot see, if someone was murdered in my neighborhood, that I would see it as the beginning of a whole 'nother chapter to my life (much less "our" life). Then again, that culdesac might've been much closer as neighbors than our street out here.
My noticing the matching sweaters was not intended to be any type of clue -for some reason I found it curious because Ryan pinged and Davey does too, but that's me. Phil Byars and Davey also had the same or very similar sweater (one black and one dark blue?) when Davey gave Phil's church the "dry dead bones" speech that God told him in the shower (ewww).
it was dumb of me to mention sweaters tonight when Ryan and Davey's choice of sweaters have nothing to do with anything - and there are far more obvious things Davey said and did that implicate him and that's where the focus should be.
Thanks for the condolences flightfulbird, that was long ago.
In 1985 the maid of our neighbor was attacked. LA Sheriff's said they thought it was Richard Ramirez. The cops in our small town would not go on record saying that.(It was later determined that Ramirez had been ticketed in our town the year before.) That was a neighborhood marker for me. My brother had to translate for the maid and cops that day. I was working a summer job at a gas station where we had Ramirez's wanted poster.
I had never really worried about my safety in the upper middle class area I grew up in. That day changed my perspective. And it was probably revealed in my language then.
Oh I forgot, later when I was reading a book about Ramirez and there was a picture of a girl who was a trial groupie to Ramirez in jail, I went to show a sister and she freaked. It was the same girl in her class at Cal State LA that always talked about her bf 'Richard' in jail!!!
Another close association and marker.
Thanks flightful, now that you mention it, I remember her saying that. I was surprised since she was so sure that CD was perfect. I can't help but wonder what she thought when CD announced his fiance. If she and her daughter are still in denial. Anon, I have often thought of things that should be sent to Phil. All I can figure is he doesn't read ANYTHING that might be negative about CD. But I keep hoping that something hits him wrong when he is alone thinking, and maybe he will start to look into more of what CD has been up to. But after hearing they were all for the wedding, actually walking KM down the isle, I give up on him ever facing the truth about CD. He isn't the man I hoped he would be, leading the call for justice for his little girl. Probably pretty harsh of me to say, but at one time I had high hopes that he was more intelligent than CD. He seems to have bought into all of CD ' S grandiose ideas. Sad.
I was surprised that Ryan even mentioned Davey since he was aware that DB was invited and didn't even give a response to the invite. Shame on Davey.
CD loves to post instastories of himself at airports. He posted one yesterday. I think he likes for people to buy into this image that he is this famous speaker who travels constantly. In actuality, he was speaking at his best friend's church that also meets in a school auditorium. He was trying to video Kristi too but she completely covers her face up. Weird. He ends his instastory with a picture of a Trump's book titled "Billionaire lessons for the Small Investor". Davey DOES not want to be a humble pastor concerned about the one lost soul and changing his city for the better. Davey wants to be rich, famous and important.
I think Kristi and Davey were together before Amanda died. He spent way too much time explaining how they met, she just showed up at all the same Crossfit classes and randomly started attending his church, acting like she didn't know him. Pleeaaase! Then, they finally go on a date, get engaged and married in a month. Someone posted earlier that maybe the reason Davey refused to say he loved or cared for Amanda after the um, uh "passing" was because he was protecting Kristi from that hurt. Kristi got divorced one month before Amanda was murdered.
Oh my goodness. Kenneth Wagner is pushing the Crazy Davey kool-aid on his congregation.
This was on his FB page.
https://www.facebook.com/UNITEDChurchDE/
"Pastor Davey explained the perspective change of seeing the valley of the shadow of death from punishment to purpose. God doesn't cause evil to happen but sometimes he does allow it to happen. It's in these hard times that we experience the pressure and our faith is formed.
What the enemy originally intended for evil, God means for good. The valley isn't a place to give up, it's a place for us to take action alongside of God. HE IS MAKING YOU DANGEROUS. Like a sword being forged with intense heat and pressure, we are made stronger because of the trials we face. HE IS INCREASING YOUR CAPACITY. Our calling can't be fulfilled without experiencing brokenness. HE IS MIXING THE INGREDIENTS. In order to live a full life, God allows us to go through both bad and good experiences.
Romans 8:28 says “for those who love God, all things work TOGETHER for good.” The pain is not punishment, it’s preparation.
Verse 6 of Psalms 23 says “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.” If the Lord is your shepherd and you follow Him, you will have GOODNESS and MERCY following you forever. Sometimes it just takes enough time to pass for us to look back and realize they have been following behind us all along.
UGH! Obviously Davey has no time between all of his vacates to come up with new material. God allowed it to happen, he is turning it into triumph, making Davey dangerous, the single ingredients may be bad (like the back of the quilt) but it mixes together for tastiness, making goodness and mercy cakes. OH MY GOSH, so so bad. I wonder if he had someone bring the cakes up on stage. Sometimes I think Davey hates Christianity and is making a mockery of it. I mean, really??
At least Davey only gets invites by a few people. Has he ever just been randomly invited to a church that he didn't have friend or family connections to? DOUBTFUL! I guess he imagines that once his horrible book comes out, he will be on all the line ups with Furtick, Lusko, Ramsey and Groeschel. Keep dreaming and for goodness (and mercy) sake, come up with some new material!
Kenneth's wife better start sleeping with one eye open.
Here was a perfect opportunity for Davey to begin ministering to the inner-city kids right after Amanda's murder but he once again chose to stay away. Amanda's neighbors joined Indy Ten Point ("The mission of ITPC is to reduce Urban Youth gun violence and address critical issues in Greater Indianapolis and surrounding communities") to bring awareness to inner-city crime. The group regularly meets with IMPD. This group focuses on an area near Davey's old home. Davey once again a no-show.
https://twitter.com/search?q=%23amandablackburn&lang=en
The leader of Ten Point right after the murder:
The Rev. Charles Harrison, the leader of a black ministers group called the Ten Point Coalition that works to fight crime in Indianapolis, urged the public Friday to come forward with any information on Amanda Blackburn's killing. He said residents need to overcome the "code of silence" that prevents some from approaching law enforcement with tips.
Bingo said:" CD loves to post instastories of himself at airports"
==============================
Aren't they all suppose to be going to Israel soon? Is he leaving ahead of the group since he's going to be their tour guide and all? His whole ONE past trip there has now qualified him as the ultimate Israel tour guide. I can hardly imagine his stories when he gets back from this one.
Start looking out for the key word, Pastor when Davey is concerned. Notice how other congregations refer to him non-stop as Pastor, yet as far as I can tell, they don't reference Davey one time as a Pastor on his church website. Even with Amanda's story, they refer to him as simple ole' Davey. In fact, if one was a newcomer to the area and found that website, they'd be hard pressed to understand who the heck was even running that "church", who is the Pastor? Who leads the church? Beyond vague, but that GIVE button stands out for everyone to click on.
I remember Davey advertising the Israel trip but then no more about it. I am sure he was trying to get enough people signed up so his trip would be covered. Also, what happened with The Nothing is Wasted retreat that was SUPER expensive? I can't imagine being a real grieving person and being ministered to by Davey. Oh gosh, no! He just can't stop with the different ways he is trying to manipulate people with their emotions and money. He learned from the best in Perry Noble who is now trying to sell people a diet program.
Great info, Anon about the program to help inner city in the name of Amanda. Another no show for the Pope of Pain, DB? I thought he was going to kick the balls of Satan by intercepting all the risky youth in Indy. What a fraud.
Wait, I see on their Resonate page, the trip is in a week. Where does Weston stay while DB vacates all the time? Poor little guy. At least the little girl still has her Daddy to stay with as K and D travel constantly.
from Bingo - I think Kristi and Davey were together before Amanda died. He spent way too much time explaining how they met, she just showed up at all the same Crossfit classes and randomly started attending his church, acting like she didn't know him.
Yeah there really was a definite need in that blog post for Davey to persuade that this was a new thing and wow look how it all happened so neatly and I really really didn't want to do anything until after Amanda had been laying out in heaven tanning for a year and I even left my wedding ring on all that time, such a sacrifice . . .
. . . but once I found the right person, Amanda's dad told me not to wait and to get married right away (and not let this be wasted either?) so the sprint to the altar is ON !
Yeah WAY too much time explaining it. How transparent. Especially about the connection between Kristi and the prison chaplain and the guys "who were arrested for Amanda".
That was one of his longest blog posts ever, trying to convince. And like anyone really cares. Although that post did get over 100 (moderated, so of course all were positive - and maybe ghostwritten) comments.
If Davey and Kristi were together before Amanda died, is it a remote possibility that Natalia could be Davey's biological daughter. To make sense of a grown man telling a child to refer to him as "daddy" when her real "daddy" is present, blows my mind. If the child slips up, that is one thing, but to start off with, "call me davey" to, "call me davey daddy" to "call me daddy", has got to mess with that child's head big time.
It stung my heart when I heard Davey explaining to Weston to call Kristi "mommy", and I didn't even know Amanda. Can't imagine how the Byars could stomach that, I can't even rationalize it in my brain no matter under the best of circumstances. That poor child is screwed. <---all just my opinion.
No, the little girl has a dad. There have been some things posted. There was a link shared with some of his pictures and he is obviously very much involved in her life. That makes it even stranger that Davey took it upon himself to be called Daddy. Creeepy! From what I remember, Kristi became pregnant and she and Andreas?? had to get married but it did not last long, because the daughter is only 4 and Kristi got divorced a month before Amanda was murdered. So, married less than two years. He has a new fiance I believe. I wonder what that whole story is with their short lived marriage. Maybe they both had affairs. Who knows. I agree that it is very heartbreaking that DB so quickly made Weston call Kristi Mommy, to further erase Amanda and her memory. NO WAY my parents would be ok with my hubby doing that. The Byars try to publicly act so happy for Davey And Kristi but doesn't it secretly break their heart to see Amanda disappear completely? The fact he got engaged almost to the day of Amanda's death was another slap in the face to Amanda and her family. Now that I am leaning toward the opinion that Davey has been involved with Kristi for a long time, I can see him proving his love to her by not acknowledging Amanda on Mother's Day, no mention of her birthday and while Amber sits by the graveside, Davey gets engaged to another woman that has Weston calling him Mommy. It is so sad and twisted.
After reading that online blog about Kristi getting pregnant and not knowing how her boyfriend would react, makes it seem like she and Andres really weren't a solid couple so yes, does seem like Davey could be Natalia's biological dad. He admitted to lusting after other women and was never home, according to Amanda, so could definitely see him cheating.
In Davey's blog, he says Kristi told him they had preacher friends in common. Sounded like another preemptive strike in case we find pics of Davey an Kristi from 2015.
Davey announced his engagement two weeks after the Reso Insider gave DL her Kristi's name and someone else found out Kristi worked out at Davey's Crossfit and posted a puc from Sept 2016.
Yeah - Meg's "it's time for the world to meet this couple" - it HAD to be time if the relationship was going to get exposed by DataLounge or anywhere else. It couldn't be kept under wraps any longer. I bet Meg and Ashley and Derek could shed some light on how long those two were cruising together before going public with their relationship. Davey is the king of explaining questions in blog posts and making preemptive strikes for future instances - I would bet we WILL see some pix from 2015, maybe even before Amanda was killed.
Davey himself said he had to look at the floor while he was training and the it was a constant effort to "guard his purity" because some girls at the gym looked like they were not there to work out, they were there to be worked out, know what I mean (his words). How interesting that he would meet his second wife at the gym.
And in his blog about getting engaged to Kristi - this excerpt
I looked over at my date. She was looking up at me, eyes beaming with pride. It was that moment I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. Here was a girl whom God had used her own painful past to shape a strength in her such that I was confident she could stand next to me as God continued to write my story.
Be aware, new second Mrs Blackburn - Davey was looking for someone whom he was confident could stand next to him as God continued to write HIS story. You looked up at him with your eyes beaming with pride and he knew then that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with you?
That's a low bar - what if you don't support him to the degree he expects, what if your eyes didn't beam as brightly at him one night - what if you showed less pride in a given instant ? At least he said he wanted to spend his life with you instead of saying he wanted to "do life" with you in the blog post celebrating your engagement - but wow how fast that changed, didn't it?
Keep those eyes gleaming with pride chickee, keep feeding Davey's massive ego and providing his narcissistic supply, sleep with him on demand, don't hurt any of his belongings like a grill because that's just like hurting him deeply, keep the focus ON HIM and not on yourself or Natalia, ask no questions and keep your head in the sand about everything that Davey has said and written about Amanda and about finding her - and you just might be ok.
Amanda, I believe, wasn't taking what Davey was doing lying down - I think there was major friction, that she called him on his internet sites and getting around the filters - that she might have been going to leave him. There was a reason Davey was having dreams about divorce and talking in appearances about how getting dumped would hurt more than losing someone to death or murder.
Amanda stood up to him in the Love Song Week Six Q&A, exposing an untruth that he said about that couple who wanted to leave the church. This wasn't a meek little pastor's wife submitting to every whim and not speaking up for herself. I believe she did defend herself and I believe she paid for it.
I watched the IMPD neighborhood watch awards today and as others have noted upthread, there was more emotion and genuine tears shown by Commander Karen Arnett (who was reading the statement recognizing the neighbors' efforts) than Davey was ever able to muster up in his multiple media appearances. She was actually unable to continue the presentation and someone else had to step in.
Nothing like Davey's pathetic shaky-voiced reading of "Amanda's final journal entry" and him looking up at the sky and trying to cry while saying "I hoped, I hoped, yeah. . . I hoped" when talking about the possibility of "Evie's" having dimples in the WTHR interview.
Davey disappeared "to grieve, uh, the loss" almost immediately after Amanda was disconnected from support - he didn't stay around the neighborhood to help his neighbors in their quest to find the alleged killers - nor did he show up at the awards to thank them for their efforts which were said during the award presentation to be virtually nonstop. Why wouldn't he work with them side by side to help find, uh, who did this to his wife?
I think he was afraid to face the neighbors, to be around them - it has been hard enough for him to attempt (unsuccessfully) to keep his story from changing in his appearances. What if he let something slip to the neighbors while working with them that might be a clue - what if his story changed from one neighbor to the next when discussing the crime ?
Removing himself "to grieve" - when he CLEARLY wasn't grieving and was actually all but dancing on Amanda's grave and saying how great she had it in heaven from the start - allowed him to not be exposed to questions about what he saw and found, allowed him to NOT have to try to fake emotions that were not there. He couldn't do it on national news - how could he do it day to day in his neighborhood?
I'm sure it's no loss whatsoever for residents of The Woods at North Kessler neighborhood that Davey moved out of his puny little house and into the serendipity mansion so quickly. I wonder what the residents of that neighborhood think of him, of his story, of his version of the events of that morning - if anyone saw anything and reported it.
I believe what Ryan McConnell said - that everyone in that neighborhood loved Amanda and were shattered by the heinous nature of the crime (IMPD's words, and it's true) - and I believe these neighbors would have told and shared anything they heard or saw that remotely could have been a clue. The Affidavit obviously did not include the extent of IMPD and FBI's every conversation with every neighbor on that morning and in the ensuing days.
I wonder if anyone heard Amanda's gut laughing at dumb finds on Instagram - if anyone heard Mel barking or Weston crying - if anyone heard the third gunshot. Time will tell - testimony will come out during the trials - surveillance video too. Tick tock tick tock.
The "nothing is wasted" Koolaid got a mention from Ryan - he said "unfortunately this" (meaning the award for the neighborhood pulling together, I guess) came on the heels of, of a terrible tragedy but it's something that I'd hear Davey Blackburn say often, that 'nothing is wasted' ". . .
Davey was like a parrot saying nothing is wasted, nothing is wasted, nothing is wasted - the gravestone, the titling of the new mansion, the random song that came on Pandora radio as the first song when they fired it up around Amanda's bedside, the title of his book which might not get released or certainly won't sell if it comes out that he had anything to do with Amanda's death - chilling that he even effing tweeted 'nothing is wasted' DURING her memorial service and then had to point out that 6000 people streamed it around the world. The brand, marketing a murder as Amy Smith / Watchkeep said - that was his priority from the start.
"We love you, Davey, and we are here 110 percent to back you up," McConnell said. "Not just this week and the following weeks, but in the coming months … and in the years to follow. Whatever Davey wants to do, we’ll be here to support him." https://www.indystar.com/story/news/crime/2015/11/23/amanda-blackburns-neigbors-relieved-arrests/76261264/
His neighbors seemed very devoted to him. Kurt Baker was one of the homes that had surveillance, I hope they were able to take footage from the days and weeks prior to the murder.

"Security Alarm Rented"
Does this mean that the security system was active at the time that AB and DB lived there? It seems that way to me. If it had only been patched in and not working, it would not be 'Rented', wouldn't you think? (I don't have much knowledge about security systems, as it goes.)
That would make it two things that DB would have had to consciously choose to do:
(1) purposely keep the door unlocked, and (2) not engage the security system, that is, if it was a working system at the time.
All of this after that sermon where he says that he would use his Glock to control if someone were to break into his house (Sorry, can't find the link right now--I have trouble sitting through the entire video to find the right one.) Sounds like he believes strongly in home security--when he is in the house.
I really wish that I could post otherwise. So sad because of all of this.
I wonder what their usual routine was concerning locking up on a regular day?
Thanks for sharing about alarm. I remember seeing that alarm in the pics and it appeared to be "on" in photos of Davey 30th bday party. You know, the party that Amanda threw for him a few weeks before he had her executed. When you think about how unlikely a robbery would be at the time of day! Next, they had a BOXER, one of the most protective, loyal dogs that exist. AND they have a security system?? They also had a very active neighborhood watch program and they lived on a cul de sac in the very back of a neighborhood. The most unlikely robbery that went wrong EVER! Shame on the police if they truly did clear him that quickly.
Oh gosh no! I am going to torture myself and watch DB at United Delaware or at least snippets The first minute he gets on stage, he asks for a tissue (saying he was super emotional) turns around, blows his nose and then throws the tissue off the stage at the person who gave it to him. Everyone laughs.
Oh gosh! He did bring the Goodness and Mercy cakes. I couldn't watch whole sermon but skipped to end and there they are! Oh gosh you guys have to watch at 44:03. I mean just watch the first minute and then then skip to this. Is this real life??
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bmEyIO7MyM&feature=youtu.be
He is trying to make Kenneth look like an idiot just like he did Amanda's dad. I truly think that Davey is a sociopath who hates Christianity. He is manipulating Kenneth and his church. Oh my, my, my.
Noticed in the Redfin ad for Davey's house that he got brand new "Hard wood flooring" and "paint freshened". He didn't just have it professionally cleaned, he took out any and all evidence completely, only one day after the murder. And in reading about crime scene clean-up, I noticed that home owner insurance pays.
Kristi and Andres must be on good terms because they got a building permit together in 2016:
BUILDING PERMITS
Jun 6, 2016 Hvac
Description: Lighthouse cove at geist / replace gas furnace and air conditioner / dp / lawrence twp

Two interesting things from an article written about Davey's dad after the murder.
"Blackburn recalled the time when he lost his mother, when Davey was a small child. He said he remembers his son asking him why he was crying, after learning of his mother's death.
"Davey looked back with that childhood faith and said 'Why are you crying? Grandma went to heaven, right,'"
(Maybe Davey offed grandma as well?)
And this, more untraceable money:
"Blackburn said he has also been overwhelmed with the support from his congregation and the Brevard community.
Church members provided two weeks of meals for the family after hearing about the tragedy.
They've provided gifts for Amanda and Davey's 1-year-old son, Weston, for the holidays and financial support. Brevard Wesleyan also took a love offering, providing financial support for the family. Brenda's employer, Blue Ridge Community College, has also given monetary gifts to Davey and Weston in Amanda's memory."
http://www.transylvaniatimes.com/story/2016/01/07/news/church-family-helps-pastor-grieve-brevard-nc/25788.html
Thanks for the link Bingo. Halfway through and he doesn't deviate much from his scripted sermon. 80% of his sermons include, "I tell people when I was younger I had a drug problem, I was drug to church". He thinks he is charming, witty and wise. He could have chose any message to go with Amanda's story, any. Instead, this man of God chooses two story lines:
1. Nothing is wasted.
2. God's making me dangerous.
If that isn't telling, I don't know what is. I remember early on in these discussions, a lot of us were hopeful that le would go and nab Davey once they had all the pieces put in place. Now, it seems futile to hope he will be booked and arrested. He speaks to how he doesn't value his life anymore, that he's ready to go home and be with God, should anything happen to him. He really is putting out all the warnings a person can put out, for how many years now? And he doesn't give a rip if he dies? But wait, he just married the woman of his dreams, has a full family now, gets to be the only bio parent to Weston, why should it not matter to him to leave this earth? It's like he lives in a completely different realm.
If the chelebrity testimony world were boy scouts, there would merit badges for blogging, preaching, branding, tax avoidance, networking, collecting donations, worship albums, publishing books, and for the Eagle Rank, turning a family death into a profitable testimony tour. Someone give Davey his neckerchief.
Wow, i just listened to the first 17:42 of that sermon, and DB seems to have his story down pat. I had to stop when he said (paraphrasing) When God calls somebody to do something great, first he has to wound deeply, they have to walk through tragedy, so He ca prove His triumph. It's all about his story, Amanda was murdered so God could write Davey's story. I can't watch any more. Amanda has been erased. She's just the ultimate story to mess with your head. And her son will call someone else Mommy. That feels hateful to me. No one listening to him seems to have a clue who he really is, or what he is really trying to achieve.
Sirensong, he is awful! It is heartbreaking but really if you want just a minute of comic relief please watch Davey with the goodness and mercy cakes at the end about 43 mins in. It is ridiculous but a little bit comical
Annon 11:11, I was just thinking about reading that too, but I didn't have the link. Because I really wonder where he gets all his money! I wish LE would have looked into the money trail.
That was a hard watch. Those leggings he is wearing were very distracting. I kept waiting for the invisible line to pull him up in the air and break out into a Peter Pan tune.
The commenter up thread was right, this story isn't about Amanda, it's all about Davey. If just one time he'd come out and say, "I'm an idiot, I left the door unlocked and I'll never be able to forgive myself or get over that stupid mistake", but he never does. He never speaks to the ten million things that were perfectly set in motion for all of this to go down as perfectly orchestrated as it did. He never thanks God for Weston not being harmed.
Where did Kristi work out at prior to cross fit? Perhaps LA Fitness?
Those damn cakes. Those stupid-looking sprayed on jeggings. The same story, Davey's story, drug to church when he was a kid and now finding purpose in Amanda's death as an adult (I don't believe he had any "pain" in which to find purpose). The beautiful Kristi Monroy (Blackburn now, HELLO - as he said) right down there cheering him on. The story is getting stale - the bookings are going to dry up - soon nobody is going to care about hearing this guy speak. Even someone from his own church said Zack did great last Sunday.
Yeah ten million things had to fall into place perfectly - look back at the carefully orchestrated and choreographed ballet of those few days. I should start a chronological list of all of the coincidences and "wow, look how the dots got connected here" things that happened, starting with Amber returning early from the long-awaited family trip to California.
The money trail would reveal a lot. Davey's internet searches and phone records would reveal a lot. The 911 call will reveal a lot.
I do not believe for one second that it is futile to think Davey will still be found out, booked and arrested for whatever involvement he had in what happened to Amanda. His story will unravel when he is called as a witness. Certainly the defense attorneys/public defenders can use (among other things) Davey's repeated statement that he had no idea anyone had been in his house to create some reasonable doubt for their clients.
Davey knew Weston would be safe, hence he only prayed for protection for Amanda and Evie that morning on the couch. Somehow he had a sense that he needed to pray for THEIR protection but not Weston - why, if he had no idea that this random burglary would happen during the exact timeframe he was away at the gym - how did he know Weston would be ok?
Davey would have done better to include Weston when he recounted his prayers for protection - too late to do that now. And thanks to his incessant blathering of his story in writing and on video for the past two-plus years, everyone can see the discrepancies and connect the dots for themselves.
This isn't over. Not even close.
Check out Davey's fb post today. It won't let me copy n paste or I would. But you can crack out the champagne, it's been a month people.
This was posted on DataLounge today. It was copied from the popular blind gossip site Crazy Days & Nights, which has proven itself as a fairly reliable source over the years. Many of the commenters there guessed DB:
In this worldwide headline-making murder case there is some new evidence that has been found which looks very damning for the thirsty celebrity husband of the wife who was killed. His story and actions have never really jibed and investigators kept digging. Apparently, it was a tip though that led to a revisit of timelines and something that happened when the huge life insurance policy was originally bought. I'm also told he went through the insurance money quickly with his new extravagant lifestyle. There are only so many books and seminars he can sell but he won't cut back on his spending.

From the comment section on the article - yeah just one of many who pegged Davey as the one -
Davey Blackburn. Went from a $135K house to a $455K McMansion. Traded in his 1999 Honda for a brand spanking new loaded Chevy SUV from Hare Chevrolet. Buys new clothes non-stop, always on vacation, golfing, going out to eat. He resented her for not being uber sexual, (Davey LOVES his porn!), was NOT happy when he found out she was pregnant again, & his "church" was struggling. The odds of a murder happening under the exact same circumstances is 1:NEVER.

One month in . . . Praying for hundreds more with you, @mrs.kristi.blackburn ... “You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!” Psalms 30:11-12
Davey used the "you have turned my mourning into dancing" verse shortly after Amanda was killed. . .
And "hundreds" of months really isn't all that long, if you think about it.
Lot's of people on the comment section of Crazy Days and Nights think it's Davey. In fact, Davey and OJ are tied as the most guessed person. The "four or five" of us on this site and on DL are apparently not the only ones who have been following this case. Please, please let it be Davey!

Could it be Davey Blackburn? Although this happened in Indiana over 2 years ago, his recent wedding made the headlines in the Daily Mail. I've been following this since it happened. He is the definition of thirsty.

This may be Davey Blackburn, but he didn't become a "celebrity" until after (or because of) his wife's death, right? Does that matter? That being said, I always thought he was somehow involved in his wife's murder.

Davey Blackburn works for sure. And based on this VERY lengthy, self-absorbed, blog post, he calls his story "internationally known", so enty could be referring to Blackburn's self-description of his story.

I posted a youtube video about this story above if anyone's interested. God the pain on that woman's face as her husband expounds on "God's mandate for a woman to submit to her husband's needs". And how he goes on and on about how marriage sucks and what a waste of money his wedding was, during his sermons. He looks like a sociopath to me.

Blackburn is a great guess. I never believed his story about the circumstances surrounding his wife's death. I recall him acting like Mr. Perfect throughout the whole thing. I long suspected that he set that whole thing up. But there was no proof. The police said they definitely ruled him out as a suspect in her death. He just got married again too. Kinda soon for such a young dude who claimed to have been so deeply in love with his wife.

Amanda Blackburn makes sense for this. I remember the story and thought there was something very strange about it and how the husband reacted. Her husband is the only one who makes sense for the “books and seminars”.
Enty seems to be stuck on church stuff lately...

"Apparently, it was a tip though that led to a revisit of timelines"
As we have been saying for the past several months, the cell tower pings DO NOT match the APC. And the stolen SUV that was found right next to the stolen Sebring are proof positive that there were more than just the 3 suspects involved. Wonder if the stolen SUV has DNA evidence from "Jay Broski", Davey's gym mate?
"something that happened when the huge life insurance policy was originally bought"
Maybe no life insurance on himself or maybe he put a rider on Amanda's life insurance policy or he added a double indemnity clause (to pay double the amount) if spouse was killed by homicide?
The dossier may well have included tips and timelines, including information about cell tower pings not matching - I would bet it did for sure. It sounded like extensive work and effort by DW the preparer of it to get it finished and circulated - it wasn't like it was thrown together hastily overnight.
Here's hoping all of the various entities that have the dossier are acting on it or have acted on it. I cannot see how they could know all of the information laid out and NOT act on it.
From the way it looks, something in this case (maybe more than one thing) broke open just recently.
And yeah, those who are consoling themselves that it's just two or three people here discussing Davey's involvement in Amanda's murder - that is SO not true. As you can see.
Too funny though that Davey is a celebrity only in his own mind and not to any of us or to the people who posted comments on that board. Some people had never even heard of him ! I imagine he considers that an epic fail.
If Davey's book doesn't get real traction leading to greater numbers, fame etc, he's gonna need another tragedy-to up the sympathy factor.
The dossier did include info on cell tower pings not matching, as well as the huge life insurance policy. It was circulated right before Christmas.
DW you're awesome! This case keeps me up and night and the posts on here give me hope that justice for Amanda, to its fullest extent, is looking more and more like a possibility.
Thank you thank you for the link to crazy days and nights. I'm glad that Davey Blackburn is on their radar for the murder of Amanda and that those who "had never heard of him before now" will now be casting a curious eye in his disgusting direction. Hahahahaha. What will he think about all the new visitors his blog is suddenly generating? I hope the moderator has had her coffee and is ready to deal with the onslaught of negative comments.
#deletedeletedeleted
The cdan blind item is about a thirsty "celebrity." Not a wannabe celebrity or a pseudo celebrity or even a B or C list celebrity. DB is nowhere close to a celebrity except in his own mind. Many people commenting had no clue who he was.
Yes, thank you, DW. As frustrating as the last two years have been, it's heartening to know there are people like you in LE.
Although I'm posting today for the first time, I've been following the comments here (and SA) since the case first made headlines; I suspect there are many others lurking here (and elsewhere) as well. I really do hope we'll see justice done for Amanda before too long.
Anon @ 10:25
I think he meant celebrity as in relatively well-known. The amount of attention this case has attracted should not be underestimated. The Daily Mail (British publication w/worldwide readership) ran an article recently about DB's wedding, and though the article itself was a fluff piece, it generated 1k+ comments -- most of which condemnatory of DB, naturally (sorry Davey!).
Gee, I had no idea. Thanks for the 411, brand new person who's never posted here before today!

Is that ungodly fruitcake, DB, using Psalms to suck up to his new missus, and let everyone know how unbelievably, fucking happy he is, two short years after Amanda's murder? It's so inappropriate but I guess the the devil really can quote Scripture for his purpose. An evil soul producing holy witness.
The SUV that was found near Rookwood - wasn't that a mistake? It was Jacola's Sebring that was found on Rookwood. I've only seen one or two MSM reports of the SUV. i.e. That a black SUV was seen speeding out of the culdesac at @6:00am and that an SUV was found on Rookwood? I assumed these reports were erroneous.
Does anyone know?
Davey's twitter feed - just over two months after Amanda was killed

"You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness," Ps. 30:11 . . . Believing
7:01 AM - 21 Dec 2015
And now today he posted the same words on Instagram and Facebook celebrating (?) his one-month anniversary with Kristi and hoping there are hundreds more months?
This guy never mourned Amanda for one second - he pretended to, when it fit his narrative - when it was a photo op with Weston at the grave. And earlier in his twitter feed, he said how much he missed Amanda in the audience (not congregation) cheering him on.
Now Kristi is cheering him on.
Does anyone see a trend here? It's so obviously all about him.
Nice catch Flightful. Tick tock goes that clock, as others here have said. It's too difficult to keep that many lies going, to keep a story line going that he clearly was against with every fiber of his being, but that cash, way too tempting for a boy like Davey, no matter the story for that kind of money.
I found some interesting material you all may or may not, want to look at.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cnlCok1wN4
Actually it wasn’t even two months afterward that Davey’s mourning turned to dancing - November 10th to December 21st. Wow.
Sad story, I hope for Weston's sake the truth comes out and justice is served for his mother. I was brought here by the cdan website which brought me to the youtube videos and then the link in the comments brought me here. The video of him waving the fake gun around and fake shooting it was so over the top crazy. Sorry but I struggle to find the biblical message in that. I also find it weird he was able to move on so quickly. Along with many other troubling things. His new wife's divorce so conveniently timed, all the timing is eery when you look at the timeline of events. Id love to see an actual timeline marking all the dates and occurrences. I looked at his instagram and its sad to see like his 1st wife didnt mean much to him at all, its all about his new life now, just forget about the old one. I remember seeing this on national news but was relieved when they caught the killers. Now I know much more. Keep up the fight web sleuths, you are being noticed.
Oh goodness, if you are just discovering this case, buckle up for one wild ride! I suggest for starters, check out the video where Davey spoke at his FNL church. He tells the church that God spoke to him in the shower, telling him his bride had to die for all the dry bones of Elkhart church. He also said that the murder happened for revival of epic numbers all over the world. There is so much more but gives you a sense of his delusional state of mind. This happened just shortly after Amanda passed into the party portal. (Davey's words)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5uFV4iUWuw&t=3s
I think Leo Blair from the Christian Post has Davey's number too.
Kate, Thanks for the most recent video. I had not seen a lot of this!
Kate - I subscribed to your video stream - I appreciate your taking the time to compile and post all of these - please keep these coming. It will make a difference.
I had not seen ANY of these news clips before ! - it really lays everything out, especially for those new to this journey.
I hadn't seen this either - at 11:40 - STARRING Davey Blackburn - how totally stupid of him. Very nice finish on your video to show Davey's ultimate goal - stardom and fame. Sure Amanda was killed but I get to pretend to be a STAR - on Saturday Night Live !
He is called "pastor" Davey Blackburn. A pastor is another name for minister. Ministering to people doesn't mean parading around in a suit (what's up with that, I guess it fit the television image for that ridiculous video introduction to the church where he was acting like a game show host). It means being there for people who need help, who need someone to talk to, who need God.
Who in that church would turn to Davey for comfort or support if something happened to a family member - does he go to the hospital to pray with the patients and families who are about to undergo surgery (like most ministers do) ? NOT. With him it's all Crossfit and flying to Israel and Starbucks and Instagram humblebrags. He is not caring for the people. He cares only for himself.
Even the #forIndy campaign has fallen by the wayside - that was totally Amanda's project.
Someone on DataLounge posted this -
Oh, please let it happen, please, please, please....

Hey Davey seems like justice is finally coming for you...Enjoy the time you have left.

Davey at FBC in the SOUTH? And it looks like maybe he brought Mercy an Goodness cakes.
Flightful, it seems like the RI confirmed that DB does nothing for the church except appear on stage on Sunday mornings. Resonate Insider, what does DB do all week besides golf, vacate, coffee and do life with his replacement bride?
He has a new blog post where he actually list one of his goals to have at least one 7 day vacate with his new bride without kids. Laughable. That is all they have been doing. No need to make it a goal.
So busy, but in a month, had time to take pictures of the four of them in bed together? Because that's what people want to see....
This may have already been mentioned, but is it possible Davey wanted to marry Kristi so she wouldn't have to testify against him in the upcoming trial? Perhaps phone records were found that suggest DB and KB were communicating around the time of AB's death?
From DB's blog. "It's probably not a coincidence that the Isaiah 26:3 chalkboard window was hung just around the corner from where I found Amanda that November morning."
No. Probably not a coincidence. It sounds like a very deliberate act of God. God, in His infinite wisdom hung a chalkboard window around the corner from your brutalized wife's body to comfort you, Davey, you twat.
----------------------
"I quickly realized early in 2017 I was on edge, paranoid, anxious, and responding to people with less patience than I would have before. I felt less motivated, apathetic, and exhausted. I couldn’t understand..."
Yes. Good. It's called guilt and fear. they are emotions experienced by people when they've done something wrong and are afraid of being found out and brought to justice.
As for exhausted, it must be all the holidays you are forced to take.
Yes, the four of them in the bed is ridiculous. Davey has had himself professionally photographed more times in the last two years than I think most have had their entire lives. The coffee pic on the steps is so cheesy. He actually faces his new wife in pictures. In contrast, he always stood in front of Amanda.
"I quickly realized early in 2017 I was on edge, paranoid, anxious, and responding to people with less patience than I would have before."
Yes, DB, it's called 'roid rage.
Just scrolled through his blog. It was too fluffy to read. The word of the year, flow. Flow yourself to prison buddy!
Amanda deserved a 7-10 day vacation and weekly date night, too. The long drawn out story of how he and his new bride met; the only truth to that story is they probably did meet at crossfit. And their wedding looked perfectly pricey in the photos. Hopefully they received many wedding freebies and upgrades, or else he looks like a hypocrite.
I hope his new bride has seen the videos and all the knowledge keeps her awake at night. At least they look perfect in the family pics since we will have to see them over and over again on every national news channel. How very Scott Peterson of him.
He seems annoyed the trial delays are holding him back from releasing his book. The case being built against him is the cause for the delays. I hope and pray that garbage book never sees the light of day!
Thanks Flightful, a lot of it I hadn't seen either and digging deep sometimes pays off, they made a lot of good points. Did you notice at approximately 8:18 the reporter asking why the suspects would target that neighborhood, le looks to his left and Hite is whispering something. I had never noticed that before.
Lol, when Davey does his Jimmy Fallon act and tries to get the band to stop playing, but they kept on for a few seconds. Made my day to see Davey not have control over them :) I don't get how he has such good people surrounding him, it's too bad he can't recognize how valuable good relationships are, instead of focusing on the sex and money.
Order is priority.....
Being very intentional and disciplined with our personal time with Jesus
Limiting long stints of ministry travel . . . keep them to one or two nights at most
Limiting our recurring weekly commitments so that our weekly calendar doesn’t fill up too quickly
A kidless date night with Kristi every week
A date with the kids each week
Evening meals and bedtime with the kids as often as possible where we take seriously our role to teach our kids about Jesus and his love for us
A carved out Sabbath each week — or day of no work to just rest (together if our schedules allow)
A 7-10 day kidless vacation
A 5-7 day family vacation
Limiting time on church stuff. Last and less time with the kids.
Part of our year will be spent .... walking through two murder trials. So is Diano Gordon getting a trial as well. I had thought that just Larry Taylor was going on trial.
Funny how he words it "walking through two murder trials." No mention of Amanda or justice of his beloved late wife in that sentiment.
For the several posters who said we should compile a list of all the anomalies that took place that day, yes. I have been working on that, but I don't want to post it in case I missed something, because we all know, there is a ton. If you want to leave a comment under the vid as to something you believe is strange, coincidental, unbelievable, I'll include it if it's not already in there. If you don't want to post under the vid, you can leave it here if it's ok with Peter? Thanks for any help remembering it all.
The time of day, cul de sac, leaving home unlocked, dog put in another room, waiting 40 minutes in driveway, reports injuries incorrectly to 911, cleared in less than 36 hours, Amanda not on the trip, I don't have my list handy, but it's a start, thanks.
I don't understand how the time of the attack cannot be determined. How is it that forensics cannot make that assessment when examining the blood from the scene. You can tell from various states of spilled blood just how long it has been there. So what's up with that?

RI here, yes, that seems like all DB does. I don't know him all that well. But his life seems filled with Crossfit, speaking engagements, golf, and vacation. He does not get involved in church events during the week. As far as being at the "office" idk, but I do know his office is getting torn down sometime in the near future.
Kate...
There's the fact that AB was in her underwear and T-shirt, and her cell phone was upstairs beside the bed, which would indicate (as far as my perspective takes it) that she was not investigating an unidentified noise--unless she is different than many females that I know. I picture hearing a noise then getting on high alert, maybe throwing pants on, grabbing cell phone, quickly investigating without being detected and/or going to WB to make sure that he is alright and calling 911. Does the fact that she was in her underwear mean that she thought DB was still there, or does it mean that she was intercepted either while going down the stairs or when on the first floor already (or when sitting on the couch doing her 'quiet time', as I read somewhere that she started doing after she saw Davey doing it). Not sure what it means--but as far as I know, there were no other items of clothing on or near her. It seems quite obvious that she was not answering the door to 'someone she knows' in her civies, as I have heard it reported elsewhere in the news.

Davey Blackburn was reported in Australia. I had to Google the name, but immediately recognised the case. I even remember thinking at the time that it must have been the husband & was surprised when they arrested 2 others for it.
So Davey's notoriety (NOT fame) made it all the way to Australia and the United Kingdom and who knows where else. The CDCN post makes it clear that there are far more interested in this case than just us here - it also makes it clear that people hate Davey and think he is behind this whole thing.
Whoever said they hope the little shit fries - +1 from me, too, if he indeed did carefully orchestrate this whole thing and then has lied about it ever since. Reprehensible doesn't even begin to describe it.
The APC says Amanda was found with her shirt pulled up and underwear off and laid beside her -as anon at 8:25pm wrote, there was no mention of other clothing around or near her - no shorts or jeans or pants. Would there have been clothes around her, if she had been wearing them and then something like that had been removed as well?
So if she wasn't wearing shorts or jeans or pants or sweats or whatever (if she was up and dressed) -
if she was still in her skivvies, wearing just underwear and a shirt, then I think she trusted whoever was there.
If she was going to investigate a noise, I believe she absolutely would not have walked out into the living room half-dressed. And Davey said her usual position was propped up in bed when she was having her quiet time - I think she started doing the quiet time in the morning when/because Davey did - but I don't know that she was normally on the couch for it, from what he said.
So we have Amanda unclothed from the waist down and her shirt pulled up as though someone had tried to pull it up and off.
So that makes it even more of a stretch for Davey to try to sell that Amanda was maybe hanging something and fell from the decorative ladder - wearing just a shirt and underwear - and that she landed with duct tape, earbuds, credit cards and a lamp scattered around her.
Does anyone know whether the master bedroom was downstairs - something makes me think their bedroom was downstairs and Weston's was upstairs (he was still upstairs, um, up in his crib upstairs, cooing).
Off topic, but those "look at our new happy little family, all four of us on our bed" pix annoy the hell out of me. Who cares. So contrived. And from that latest blog post, there are chinks in the armor already. All of the beautiful, matching-clothed, carefully shot and posed pictures in the world do not convince me that all is goodness and sweetness and happiness and light and peace behind those closed doors.
And Davey's intent need to convince how well everything is going makes me even less convinced. A lion doesn't need to roar - everyone knows it's a lion. If you guys are all that happy, just be happy in private - respect Amanda and her family - and keep to yourselves a bit.
Yes to Trudy - the Bible verse on the chalkboard was absolutely not a coincidence - that was another thread in the carefully-sewn quilt of the events surrounding the killing of Amanda. It could even have been arranged to have the assault happen where it did (in front of Weston?) - no seriously, right in sight of that chalkboard. It makes for a far better story later on, doesn't it?
Just like Davey hearing the very song that was playing when Amanda walked down the aisle as the first song that randomly came on his iPod when he got in the car that day.
this too - Davey says -I quickly realized early in 2017 I was on edge, paranoid, anxious, and responding to people with less patience than I would have before. I felt less motivated, apathetic, and exhausted. I couldn’t understand...
Trudy said Yes. Good. It's called guilt and fear. they are emotions experienced by people when they've done something wrong and are afraid of being found out and brought to justice.
Imagine waiting for the other shoe to drop - for the rest of your life.
Unfinished thought in my post above - should've read
So it doesn't look like Amanda was up and dressed, otherwise it seems like the other clothing would have been on the living room floor somewhere around her too.
And if she wasn't wearing shorts or jeans or pants or sweats or whatever (like if she was up but wasn't completely dressed) -
if she was still in her skivvies, wearing just underwear and a shirt, then I think she trusted whoever was there.
In Kate's latest video too, one of the news analysts also pointed out that this could have happened to Amanda before Davey ever left for the gym. It makes total sense that Amanda was in the condition she was in before Davey ever left that morning.
Anon, thanks, I'll add that. I wonder how that will all play out in court. I've also wondered why Davey left Amanda like that. Did he touch her at all? With his constant covering up that he had no idea what happened to her and thought they may be losing the baby does not CUT IT. The only place she wasn't bleeding from was below the waist, specifically the groin area.
Shirt pulled up, panties off, busted lip/teeth, scratches, 3 bullet wounds, dog locked up, weston probably screaming his head off, but yeah, we're gunna lose the baby, just had a feeling..... so much talk about losing that baby, the crux of the crime, sadly.
The latest pics of them were entertaining. You know they spent a lot of time trying to get the perfect shot and Weston wasn't going to give it to them, atta boy. They are pushing these kids way too fast. Give them a minute to breathe instead of trying to force Weston into Kristie and Natalia into Davey for every pic, trying to pretend the blended family has instantly adapted and thrived in their new environment. It's completely insane.
FFB,yes that was interesting. I think anon asked up thread if they could tell by the blood that was bled out by Amanda, but I have no idea. With all that counter talk, one would think these trials are going to be met with many complications.
Weston's nursery was right beside the balcony overlooking the crime scene.
https://daveyblackburn.com/blog/how-do-you-deal-with-the-way-amanda-died-part-3
DB about the scene at the time of AB’s death:
“Our living room had an open balcony just outside the nursery that overlooked the living room.”
“I remembered I could hear Weston's soft coos from his room upstairs.”

I think AB and DB's bedroom was upstairs too but not sure. Check the above links.
Davey's next ploy is to write a book about blended families, hence the pictures.
It looks like the master bedroom is on the second floor--in the first link, you can see the vaulted ceiling in one of the pictures.
Anon 7:10, I agree with you about the time of Amanda's attack, or shooting. They surely have an approximate time she was shot in the head. The amount of brain swelling would give some indication, as well as the blood around her. There is something not right about this investigation. There are SO many things we could give to Kate for her movies, it's overwhelming. One that came to mind, is in a podcast with Phil, DB said so many of his BIG prayers weren't answered until after Amanda's murder. Of course he said it in a way that seemed innocent. I will have to dig for the link. I can't believe Phil didn't punch him in the face. If he had that thought, he should have kept it to himself. All this Kristi love and redemption makes me sick. Another bunch of thoughts he should keep to himself. But no, that's his reward, right? Maybe he was hitting on her to get info from her dad, he being the minister the one who talks to Amanda's alleged murderers. Still can't believe the media didn't ask the court for copies of what was said in the hearing that DB attended, where JW stared him down with grief in his eyes. Why would DB think such a thing. Or say it, there had to be a reason. Can someone repost Kates link to latest U Tube? TIA
When did Davey post the picture of his bed on SM?
I found Kates's new video. Great job Kate! I'm excited that people will see everything that those of us that have been following have seen. I hope it makes them as want true justice also. I'm positive most people don't know what's been going on with DB. I also had a thought watching the video, I wonder if because the paramedics too Amanda to the hospital because police didn't come and make it a crime scene soon enough, that any DNA and trace that was on Amanda was lost. I also think that maybe they didn't do a rape kit, or did it too late. It's like they had nothing to work with except the pink sweater that JW used. DB and paramedics, even Mel walking all around the scene contaminating it. Or DB had a lot of time to change the scene before he called 911. Just my thoughts. Flightful, great catch on DB already dancing on her grave in DEC. 2015!! As another poster indicated, the calls DB made to the families talking of head wound, but later switching to miscarriage, LE never looked at any of that, or the fact that his whole group thought they would be "walking in pain" right before the murder. He was setting it up! Indy should really be complaining about police investigations!

When did Davey post the picture of his bed on SM?
January 18th - on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and his blog
And another Instagram pic of the happy family at an ice show, with Kristi holding Weston (he's a handful) and Davey holding Natalia. Look how that turned out. See how happy we are.
Ominous and macabre and dark, thinking Davey is already preparing for something bad to happen again - but it's true. He wrote it. He is ALREADY trusting God and his plan and that if something happens, he's in control and God is great and good - just like all things worked together for good with Amanda and Evie. Foreshadowing, much?
Yes, very scary, especially since DB doesn't seem like he wants much time with the kids! I never felt like he cared much for Weston, just don't feel the warmth, kindness or love coming from DB toward Weston, let alone believe he has any for Natalia. Such good posts lately, makes me want to talk too much! I think I've posted more the last 2 days than the whole 2 years. I do worry about the kids.
Perry's new cult "charch" (I can't call it a church) is creepy as hell. He's trolling for pained souls and testing loyalty by being intentionally vulgar. His followers need prayers.

Been following the Blackburn thing for a while. The practiced ease with which he publicly forgave "whoever" killed her (during his glamorous whirlwind interview excursion) is at major odds with a message he "preached" once about the angry grudge he developed against the wife when she dented his precious backyard grill. FFS, dude left the front door unlocked himself, and whoops - home invasion, wife dead. What are the odds? The whole thing is filthy to the core. Pastor Selfie is guilty as shit.

Pastor. ... A pastor (UK: /ˈpɑːstə/; US: /ˈpæstər/) is an ordained leader of a Christian congregation. A pastor also gives advice and counsel to people from the community or congregation. It is derived from the Latin word, pascere, meaning fed or grazed.

“1 Peter 5:2-4. "Feed the flock of God which is among you taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away." (KJV)”
“Tend the flock includes providing general oversight, visiting the sick, counseling those with special needs and performing weddings and funerals. This is where a mentor can prove very helpful.”
“One day, pastors will give and account to God for how they cared for His sheep.”

Definition of HIRELING
: a person who serves for hire especially for purely mercenary motives
https://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/hireling/
In the New Testament the word "hireling" (misthotos) occurs only in John 10:12, where his neglect of the sheep is contrasted unfavorably with the care and courage of the shepherd who owns the sheep, who leads them to pasture and lays down his life for their protection from danger and death.

“Jesus warned against the hireling who did not really care about the sheep. He said the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.”
The story about Kristi being from Carmel, really? How long? Addresses are a matter of public record, didn't they know that? If a person dug deep enough, would the addresses of Kristi's be considered another anomaly if she were to, oh say, have lived about 12-15 minutes away from Sunnyfield Court? That would be damn convenient, if that were the case.
Does anyone know which LA Fitness location he worked out at that day?
4015 Shore Dr. (according to another crime-sleuthing community--don't know if I am allowed to link it--link shouldn't be too hard to find though)
https://www.christianpost.com/news/davey-blackburn-indiana-pastor-talking-college-roommate-wife-amanda-lay-dying-150934/
"...Blackburn told detectives that he left his home at about 6 a.m. to go to the L.A. Fitness gym located at 4015 Shore Drive in Indianapolis."
Thanks, yes I should have googled it, will do next time.
Where is Davey and Jono's sister?

"Also my good friend is a Physician Assistant and she was on duty on the hallway below you in the hospital the night you were there with Amanda. She texted our whole small group saying, ‘You wouldn’t believe this family! They’re praying and worshiping right here in the hallway! It’s like a revival breaking out here!’"
Not only does she have the step dad connection, but her good friend was on duty that day when they brought Amanda in, downstairs. I thought the family stayed by Amanda's bedside the entire time? Now they're in a hallway - a floor below Amanda, praying and worshiping like a revival is breaking out?
The hell was going on in that hospital during that time?
https://daveyblackburn.com/blog/she-said-yes
"Obviously I’ve been following your story since it happened considering you guys were friends with my old pastors."
That's KB (KM) talking to DB at their 'chance' encounter at CrossFit.
I've been working on a timeline for DB and KB (KM). If their connections are as random as they claim then I'm drinking the wrong water or something. It all seems too orchestrated for me. KM playing hard-to-get. Her just happening to be at CrossFit after DB requests that the owner open it up just for him--and the owner does. KM just happens to be in the last class just before DB's private reservation. I don't know anymore. Are we making these to be coincidences, because it almost feels like not too many people are seeing it. I know that I have never seen so many in a row for such a long period of time. That's quite the accidental orchestration.
Krist's mom and stepdad live 3 miles away from Davey's old house and have for 10 years. Kristi only got married a few years ago, so she may have lived with them when she was single. Davey even says he and Amanda used to jog near the stepdad's house. Kristi also jogged, as she was in some 10k races. Wonder if she went to LA Fitness?
It's not just you anon at 9pm. There are FAR too many coincidences - too many random things happened - and then more importantly, Davey had to beat us over the head pointing all of them out.
As soon as someone gets all of them written down and posted, it'll slap anyone in the face. Orchestrated doesn't even begin to describe it. Sure Davey is so important that the Crossfit box owner stayed late and opened up just for him. Lies begat lies. Delusions of grandeur for sure.
I would bet heavily that Kristi went to LA Fitness - Amanda might have even known (recognized) her - from races or from seeing her when they were running near the stepdad's house.
Remember how Davey claimed he was texting Amanda after she died? I find that highly unlikely - he was texting someone though, and he said it was Amanda. He maybe quoted one of his text messages? He maybe texted someone 'babe'? The subject was, I think, brought up, not by Davey but by the interviewer, towards the end of that early long three part interview - it's in one of the earlier ones that Kate posted in her most recent series of Davey related videos. It seemed to me that someone must have seen a message as he texted, or looked at his phone, and he was covering himself by claiming that he had been texting Amanda - (in the party portal) - they were doing long distance as they had before they were married. Anyone else, I might believe they were doing that in a distraught state - I don't believe that of Davey - it does not fit with his 'dancing on Amanda's grave' conduct. Also, if he had been texting Amanda, it would be something he would have used again and again to illustrate his alleged heartbreak - I don't think that has been quilted into his story, it was more an offcut he chooses not to include. He agreed he was texting someone, and he claimed it was Amanda - it's interesting how the interviewer found that worthy of note.
This is something Kristi allegedly said to Davey, yes?
"Also my good friend is a Physician Assistant and she was on duty on the hallway below you in the hospital the night you were there with Amanda. She texted our whole small group saying, ‘You wouldn’t believe this family! They’re praying and worshiping right here in the hallway! It’s like a revival breaking out here!’"
Just another miraculous amazing coincidence - Kristi just happens to have not just a friend, but a good friend - who is also a physician assistant - and who just happened to be working on the floor (hallway) right below Amanda's room when she was laid up in Methodist Hospital.
Already a stretch. I can feel the dots the Lord is connecting all the way from out here in California. But the use of the word "here" makes it even more of a stretch.
They’re praying and worshiping right here in the hallway !
First, I believe that Kristi, if she has been a medical professional around a hospital setting for any length of time, would use the word "floor" to describe a location in a medical center to Davey - she would say "she was on duty on the floor below you", not "on the hallway below you"
Next, praying and worshiping right HERE in the hallway means that the friend was right near them. "Right here" indicates very close proximity - right in front of the friend.
Which would mean that, in order for this statement to be absolutely true - either
(1) Amanda's family had indeed left her bedside and had gone down to the floor below her room to have their worship and praise and "oh yeah let's pray for a miracle too but if it's your will God, go ahead and take Amanda to heaven" session - and Kristi's good friend just happened to be on duty on that random floor onto which the family wandered that night
OR
(2) Kristi's good friend had left her floor and the patients for whom she was caring - and had just happened to go upstairs into the ICU and cruise around in the hallway outside of the room of someone she had never met - and saw the family "right here" and texted the small group
I am an ex-medical professional and neither of these scenarios are plausible to me. The friend didn't see anything and text Kristi and her small group - it didn't happen like Davey says Kristi said it did.
Kristi supposedly didn't know Davey at the time so there would be no reason for a friend of Kristi's to even know who Amanda was and leave her patients to go up there. I also don't believe they were praying and worshiping in the hallway, whether on the friend's floor (please) or on Amanda's floor outside her room.
Especially in the ICU, there would have been other patients fighting for life with their families around them. Such a sideshow atmosphere as we have been told was happening, with all of the singing and praise and worship and Pandora radio playing - and cheering Amanda on with each breath of the ventilator (tm Amber) - would be disruptive to the rest of the patients on that floor as well as to the staff trying to work. It's virtually impossible that the ICU staff would have allowed that ruckus in the room as it has been described to us - much less for it to extend outside into the hallway.
- continued next post -
- continued from last post -
It always has to be the best with Davey - more details - grander, better, higher, longer, faster. Not just a friend, but a GOOD friend. Texted the WHOLE small group - not just Kristi or a few of them. The floor RIGHT BELOW Amanda's floor. And Amber said hundreds (literally, she said HUNDREDS) of people were in Amanda's room - when in reality it might have been limited to two or three at a time.
Maybe an exception was made for the lead pastor of Resonate Church Indy, maybe not. But Amber's saying hundreds of people were there - her exaggerations are just like Davey's exaggerations - once a person starts exaggerating or stretching the truth or lying "a bit", then everything they say from then on is tainted and suspect.
Davey writing what Kristi supposedly said is no doubt slanted, scenarios and images created to tell HIS story, the version he wants us to read and believe. Davey wanted a revival throughout the hospital - for all of the doctors and nurses and anyone who came into their room to come to God because of them. He wants us to believe that the whole medical center saw their faith and was stunned by it.
In reality, the family who chose worship over worry were most likely confined to Amanda's room, asked to keep it down as much as possible and only a few people who were directly involved with Amanda's care really knew what was going on. That whole floor would've known she was there - but confidentiality issues would not have allowed open discussion with those who were not caring for her.
I don't believe the staff would be be spreading the news throughout the hospital of the family who had such great faith and was praying for a miracle. Hospital staff wouldn't have been sharing information about her - or could have been risking their jobs if they did. Patient confidentiality is a real issue. Multiple people were fired from a place I worked in the past because they had accessed a patient's records in the electronic chart system (someone who was not their patient - whole different floor) and it was traced to them.
Even staff acknowledging to anyone that Amanda was in Methodist Hospital could be a HIPAA violation if the family hadn't wanted it known.
Never forget that while Amanda was still on the vent and all of the worship and praise and prayer was happening and Kristi's good friend was texting the small group about it - one of the family or friends also had the presence of mind to summon the professional house cleaners to get that crime scene cleaned up.
Thanks FFB. I needed that encouragement. You know, we have lives and things to do--yet, we spend time here that we could be spending on other responsibilities. Why, well, for me, it's because a young mother and baby lost their lives in such a horrific, unnecessary, brutal crime, and their close relatives and family, as well as others who should be invested in the details, don't seem to want to find out about or even address the inconsistencies.
AB will never pursue her life's goals, because she's gone. So is her baby. And the biggest crime, quite possibly, is that Weston will never know her; and he is stuck with perhaps two self-absorbed 'parents' now instead of just one. I think of AB somehow (if it was possible) looking into the future before this crime and seeing that woman laying in bed with her husband and baby son, and I wonder if she would even believe her eyes (probably). There seems to be no respect. It makes me sick, all of these people rejoicing as if AB and her baby were just...nothing.
One thing (among many) but specifically that has bothered me is hearing DB justify her death, saying well, she's where she wants to be. Did he resent her for loving Jesus? Tell me, did she enjoy the ride there?! I don't think so. Face smashed in, teeth gone, bullet up left arm, bullet hole through the back, and a bullet lodged behind her eye--but she's where she wants to be. Yea.....pathetic.
Davey spoke of loneliness in the 2nd quarter of 2016, and he was dressing far too "gay" for Kristi to be in the picture before mid 2016.
"This girl" Kristi played a top shelf 'hard to get' game, and it worked.
If Davey was cheating before Amanda's death, it was likely with men. And he likely took care of some of his 'loneliness' with men before deciding to pursue Kristi.
However, he needed to get remarried if his worldwide ministry would have any traction, hence his blogging about how to know if you've found the right girl. I believe him when he says it was hard to review all that because he had Amanda and she was tops. TOPS.
After visiting with his parents in North Carolina, where his mom pushed them to talk about marriage, Davey prayed in a sermon at NEXT church for his "propensities" and "proclivities" to go away.
You can tell in the newest blog, the honeymoon is over. He seems to be nagging Kristi to be a better godly mother. Her sporadic schedule is not fitting into the flow that Davey would prefer. Watch your back, Kristi.
Yeah I've said it before but it's true - Amanda really did just lift right out of their lives. All of them. Amber does her best to try to convince in Facebook posts and on Davey's blog that there is an Amanda-shaped hole in her life that will never ever be filled again, REALLY REALLY I miss her sooooooooo much ! - but nobody else even tries to convince.
Davey said his mourning was turned to dancing barely six weeks after Amanda died. He posted that Instagram with the stupid shit-eating grin with Zack and one other guy out in the snow (running together) like eight weeks after. He said on Twitter that Jesus is the master surgeon and even though it might be painful, to trust his healing scalpel. He has justified her death over and over and over and over - showing no remorse for not locking things up - no "if I had been there I could've stopped them" - it's all "she's better off and here's why" and then enumerating the reasons.
NONE of us would want to bring Amanda back into the life she had, having to live with a narcissistic pig of a husband masquerading as a pastor - a guy who was demeaning her, talking about her from the stage (I refuse to call it a pulpit) and telling everything she did wrong, everything she did "to him", everything she "wouldn't" do for him.
And I too am tired beyond words of hearing Davey's rationalizing all of the ways Amanda's death (not just death, but brutal assault and cold-blooded execution) was a good thing.
How the hell can her family just stay quiet - I know they are protecting the image of Camelot and perfection - but at what point would they ever decide enough is enough ?
Davey's foreshadowing of something happening to his new family but God will bring them through tragedy if it happens, just like he did with Amanda - is chilling.
Who's next in his quest for fame and fortune - if losing his wife didn't bring it - would losing a child? A stepchild? Another wife? What about all three of them at once?
Clearly, people are expendable to him. And clearly, if it's for the good of the Kingdom, anything goes.
I mean seriously, he could eliminate them all and make it look like an accident.
I wonder how much insurance is on Andres / Natalia, and who are the beneficiaries?
The physicians assistant, on another floor, texted KM, about the family of a patient, who was not her patient, who'd been sexually assaulted and fatally shot in the head, because why? Who does that sort of thing? Oh,and she used the odd word "Revival" in her text, too, just like you know who.
What are the chances?
If marrying KM was a strategy by DB to improve his image, it has backfired spectacularly! The suspicion and dislike (and frequent categorization as a narcissist) of him, has grown and appears to be growing, exponentially.
"You wouldn't believe this family!"
Nope. You wouldn't. I don't.
Sorry FFB, yes that was what Davey wrote on his blog about it.
HeyJude, yes, in that interview they also ask him how it feels to be texting Amanda and he says it's hard.... so why do it then? He contradicts himself at every step.
From the same blog post: "For much of 2016 I was a bit wary of single girls and single moms who showed up to our church. There seemed to be an influx of them after Amanda passed. I hoped it was because they felt especially connected to the story and not for ulterior motives, but at the time I knew I was in a vulnerable place and couldn’t really trust everyone's motives. I’m sorry if you came to our church during that season and felt that coldness from me, but I couldn’t be too careful."
Well then, that's quite the overreach. He was a bit wary of single girls, girls being the key word. Little odd for a man in his 30's to refer to. And of course all those single moms and gals couldn't possibly have shown up to church to hopefully find a sane man, preaching the good word, showing strength after his wife had been brutally murdered, supporting a Pastor and his church. Hopefully, "they didn't have ulterior motives". But exactly what he describes is where Kristi fits in, clearly she had motives, so the story does not jive, only conflicts.
He's a damn fool for thinking people wouldn't show up to church solely for Amanda's sake and memory or Weston's, not everything revolves around the almighty Davey Blackburn with an ego the size of China.
A pastor who cold shoulders young women in his congegation because of his massive ego, is an idiot. If he couldn't pastor in the months after Amanda's murder, he should have stepped aside and let Zach or someone take care of his congregation.
Imagine a shepherd who said he was a wary that some of the lambs and ewes in his flock had "ulterior motives" so he was forced to neglect them, and worse, treat them coldly. He is unfit for ministry.
DB constantly refers to Kristi as a girl. In his latest Instagram he infantilized her with this:
daveyblackburnDisney on Ice and boy was it a treat . . . I love watching little eyes light up with wonder and hearing fan girl screams coming from right next to me . . . Oh my kids were fun to watch too 😜
That "girl" is in big trouble.
I was looking around at DB'S sermons, and saw that "worship as a weapon" was posted 11-12-15, but actually given on Nov. 8 2015. 3 years to the date, DB "popped the question". Another weird date thing. I know better, but I couldn't find the link that it shows the date he preached it, but it's there somewhere if I need to find it for anyone.
I found this article interesting, about how pastors make their money. It is long, but it tells you how to not get fleeced, and tell you to ask for transparency. I wish his congregation would ask what his income and perks have been for the last 2 years. It even mentions "love offerings", like the big one DB got from his dad's church
http://www.cultwatch.com/howpastorsgetrich.html
11/8/15 is also the date Amber came home early from California and got lost with Amanda on the way to Mawmaw's house.

I wonder what step grandpa tell the blended grandkids about Amanda's killer's.
Killers. No apostrophe.
https://twitter.com/Samantha44Smith?lang=en
The above is Samantha's tweet on the two year anniversary of her husband's death. She is the wife of the Butler basketball player who died from cancer. Davey interviewed her on his podcast. He told her he can't imagine going through that???!!!!
Here is the tribute Davey made to Amanda on the two year anniversary of her death:
As you can see, there is nothing but he did get engaged to another woman! Does that count?
Shameless!
From Trudy: "If marrying KM was a strategy by DB to improve his image, it has backfired spectacularly! The suspicion and dislike (and frequent categorization as a narcissist) of him, has grown and appears to be growing, exponentially."
The reaction was very negative! The smiling and elated DB appearing on Inside Edition a few days after the life celebration (including cupcakes and t-shirts) was too fresh on everyone's mind. Also, the obnoxious way he did it, almost to the day that Amanda was murdered, a 10 page ridiculous blog post and then a fancy, elaborate wedding. Most people see right through Davey and think he is awful. However, he still thinks he is going to sell a million copies of Nothing is Wasted.
I think I figured out who "Cheese" is. It's Anthony Shannon, the guy that bought stolen goods from Jalen and Larry Taylor, according to the APC for the rape case. In his FB posts, he refers to himself as "Cheese". He lives near 52nd & Audrey, which is about 1 mile from the 56th & Guion stop that Taylor said he made.

From the rape case APC: "Shannon and Barker (Shannon's girlfriend) had given police a black ski mask and had stated that on 11/10/2015 Larry Taylor had left the black ski mask at their apartment."
Since this is the same day Amanda was murdered, what time did LT get to their apartment and what time did he leave?
From Jacola, items stolen were a Macbook Pro, an iPhone, a purse and car keys. From Becker, items stolen were four televisions, a Macbook Pro, a pearl necklace, oranges and a pink sweater. From Amanda's, items stolen were a Macbook Pro and some bank cards.
Anthony Shannon and Sophis Barker are obviously the CIs that said Taylor had admitted to killing a Mexican, as the detective in the case, Jose Torres, was investigating a homicide and interviewing Shannon and Barker, as well as Marcus Shannon (Anthony's brother) and Rakiea McCaskgill, and interviewed them on Dec 16 and Dec 17, 2015 (Which matches the APC). LT and JW went to Anthony Shannon's "sometime prior to November 10, 2015" in a black car, which most likely belonged to the rape victim. They brought with them a laptop, a big screen TV, a new in box iPhone, a blue tablet and a couple of purses. The laptop was the rape victim's.
Where are the missing items from the other burglaries? Taylor said he was meeting "Cheese" the morning of Amanda's murder and Anthony Shannon ("Cheese") confirmed that LT was there that day. Cheese appears to be the guy that buys all of the stolen goods, so he should know what happened to Amanda's laptop.

Thanks DW.
DW
11/10/15 is the day Amanda was REPORTED to be "injured". Doctors can't determine when someone put a bullet in her brain.
Chances are, if the bullet had only been there for two hours on 11/10/15, the swelling may not have already spread so far as to prevent the doctors from performing a craniotomy to relieve the pressure and prevent further brain damage.
I wonder what medical statistics will show and could be used to support evidence that Amanda may have been shot much earlier than reported.
Peak swelling is usually day three after traumatic brain injury.
The burglaries are smoke and mirrors.
11:53
Craniectomy, not craniotomy.
Maybe the blood outside the body would give an indication of time Amanda was shot? She was lying there for almost 2 hours at the earliest. Blood may have begun drying?
From Daveys blog I just popped the question: "But on March 31st it wasn't me taking her to the ballet. We had received some wise counsel that it would be a good idea to stay under the table with this developing relationship until after Amanda's trial (which was set for May at this point)."
About a month and a half later.....
"When May came around and we realized Amanda's trial was going to be delayed yet again, I called the Prosecutor on the case and asked him how it would affect the trial if my relationship status changed in any way. "Not at all." He answered me. "You have to do your best to move forward with your life because you never know when this trial will actually happen."
=============================================
Pretty big change from March til May. Does Davey not have any legal counsel of his own? Wouldn't the normal persons reaction be, "why? why do you not know when this trial will actually happen? My wife was beaten and executed, why is this taking so long? I want justice for my wife and for my son who lost his mother." But instead his pressing issue is how it will look if he gets married with Amanda's family blessing and everyone is there to celebrate and enjoy the newlywed's bliss. What about Amanda and the baby? Anyone give a rip as to the trials and seeking justice?
This, by all descriptions from le, neighbors, witnesses and the families involved, is an open and shut case. They have the DNA, witnesses, surveillance, confessions, etc. Why aren't we hearing anything from the family to gain closure on this case and get this trial moving? How many years will it take to try this case? How long can they drag this on, what is the big delay and why do none of these people feel shame and disgust within themselves?
sidenote: In that blog post, he says, "girls" approximately 27 times and "woman" 3 times.
'
Wouldn't the normal persons reaction be, "why? why do you not know when this trial will actually happen? My wife was beaten and executed, why is this taking so long? I want justice for my wife and for my son who lost his mother."
But it is to Davey's advantage to have the trials delayed as long as possible - to avoid his having to take the stand as a witness and keep his ever-evolving (tm Bobcat) stories straight under oath.
He obviously doesn't care about justice for Amanda so why on earth would he want the trials to happen sooner? Once the trials begin, he will have to have his wings clipped - he will not be free to be traveling the globe and parading around onstage with those stupid Goodness and Mercy cakes following him (Davey if you're reading this, you REALLY need a new gimmick now - forcing people to walk around behind you with cakes has been played out and done for months already).
He keeps calling it "Amanda's trial" - obviously Amanda is not the one on trial and it's the trials for those accused of getting her into the condition she was in that morning. But isn't there another way to describe it?
And the more I think about it, the more I think "there were bullets" before Davey ever left for the gym.
And yeah, from March 31st through May - so all of April, Davey was forced to keep his "new" relationship under wraps - and then decided to move forward with his life in May. Wow I bet he was glad to be able to say someone TOLD him to move forward (Amanda's dad, the prosecutor on the case) instead of having to make that call on his own.
And as long as the trials are delayed, Davey remains just "suspected" of being involved in / orchestrating Amanda's murder or actually harming her himself. All of the posts here and on DataLounge and Crazy Days and Daily Mail point to him - but the trials ARE going to expose things he would rather not have exposed - the 911 call should be revealed and settle that question once and for all - evidence will be presented that could or will implicate him.
I wouldn't be surprised if Davey completely disappears before the trials ever happen. Sort of him thinking if you can't find me, you can't arrest me. Although running would make him look guilty for sure, even more guilty than he already looks. And that would shoot down his appearances and photo ops with his new happy family.
But if he met with a tragic accident, then he would avoid the shame of walking in front of the cameras in handcuffs and leg irons and having to actually answer for what was done.
I wonder if the trials will be streamed - or videos posted on the web - like the Michael Dunn loud music shooting case in Florida.
It would be so easy for Davey just to get online or get a news crew to interview him (I'm sure any network or print media would jump at the chance) and clear up the answers to our questions (my questions, at least) and end the speculation and explain why things happened - but he won't.
Has anyone here had a taste of Davey's Goodness and Mercy cakes?
Wouldn't it be a *sweet* coincidence if they were delicious pumpkin cakes with cream cheese icing? Oh Amanda, who loved her Starbucks PSL, might have loved those flavors!
I have a batch of pumpkin bars baking in the oven right now. There are few things better on a cold winter evening than fresh baked goodies! The aromas wafting about are heavenly!
Sweet Amanda Cookies
Listen you tub 'a' lard--just spend your time with your stinking baking.
You know what Amanda REALLY loves? Being in the presence of the Lord, and that's just where she is right now.
Now *Sweet* Amanda Cookies, aka SAC
Buzz off.
Oh, Dearie Anonymous at 6:28,
Amanda in the presence of the Lord brings to mind one of my favorite lard-free (just in case you're watching your waist) goodies.
Angel Food Cake!
With a light meringue icing, it's truly ethereal! *Sigh*
Davey aka SAC, is giving ua clues to her murder. Taking notes, Davey.
Oh, Dearie Anonymous at 6:28 (again),
I did buzz off for a few minutes after my baking timer buzzed! The pumpkin bars are out of the oven and waiting for cream cheese icing.
While I was sliding my pumpkin bars onto the cooling rack, I thought of a delicious recipe that includes both "buzz" and "lard"! Honey Baklava! It will be a lot of work but so heavenly AND WORTH IT! I don't think it will be worth it in the sense that Amber meant, but worth it all the same.
I wonder if Meg can send Amanda a text in heaven to let her know what delicious goodies will be enjoyed in her honor?
Good posts Kate and FFB,
DBs "word for the year" should be justice. I agree with other posters - what is taking so long? and why isn't DB demanding justice? It unexpected for a pastor who has trying to "survive" and "heal". (Good catch Bobcat, where the mealy mouthed freak can't even remember his own "word for the year")
Recall DB saying that IMPD had assured him that they had an unprecedented "blank cheque" to investigate Amanda's murder? I bet that terrified him.
DB is such a creepy sneak. He deviously implies that the "wise counsel" to keep his relationship under wraps until after the trial, (from Phil Byars?) was not really all that wise, because lookee, lookee, DB called the lord high prosecutor and the prosecutor said the opposite thing to the "wise" counsellor. Typical DB move. Backhanded compliments and covering his ass by refusing to take any responsibility for his actions. Gutless and sneaky. It was the same with Dave "I love him so much I want to go bald like him " Ramsey. The Blackburn's ploughed their lifesaving into Resonate. Yet, a mere 10 months later, weeks after Amanda's murder, DB has the nerve to say that he was on the final of Dave Ramsey's 'baby steps' - (unlimited wealth) overnight! How the? What the? The Blackburn's were financially imprudent according to Dave Ramseys teachings, yet the advice to purchase an enormous life insurance policy on Amanda is placed squarely on Dave Ramsey. Or God.
God spoke to his heart and said " hey Davey....do whatever the hell you like". It's the ultimate, inarguable, defense and excuse for DB to do anything. anything at all. He even sermonizes about how crazy and bizarre God's will is; but whatcha gonna do? It's Gods will.
He says the delay of his horrible book is to "honor the process of" the trial. How, exactly, delaying release of the book, honor the process of the trial? Surely, in the words of the esteemed prosecutor, it would affect the trial " Not at all".
It's absolute bollocks. DB was champing at the bit to get his book released. He excitedly posted instagrams and blogs about the writing of it, the demands of his publishers, the final dinner where he hands over his completed manuscript. His irritation at the delay is palpable. He can't disguise it. He is bitterly disappointed by it. Good.
DBs word of the year " flow" kin of suits him. He's effing low.

"The presence of blood clots in bloodstains can indicate that the attack was prolonged, or that the victim was bleeding for some time after the injury occurred."
Praying that LE got all the evidence that they need. The forensics can surely establish much to do with the details of the scene, if the evidence has been properly collected.
"You know what Amanda REALLY loves? Being in the presence of the Lord, and that's just where she is right now."
Oh, and how much fun it must be there, with King Cake for everyone in heaven! It's high season for King Cake, you know, the Carnival celebrations between the Eve of Epiphany and Fat Tuesday make it so easy to throw the diet out the window before the fasting of Lent.
Normally I would bake it myself, but I make an exception for King Cake. Like Davey's Goodness and Mercy Cakes, I just order from the nearest bakery.
The weirdest thing happens when I eat King Cake - I ALWAYS get the piece with the TINY BABY inside! Even if I overindulge and eat two pieces from one cake, without fail, the bakery will accidentally have mixed in two tiny babies. I ALWAYS get a TINY BABY in my King Cake!
I hope next time Davey tours his Goodness and Mercy cakes, the bakery doesn't accidentally mix in a King Cake baby. That would be awkward!
Make sure the bakery knows, NO KING CAKE BABY!
