I have no chance of breaking through the noise on this thread, but just thought I'd mention another case, where the suspect played on their religion to get people on their side. It's the Daniel Paul York case. He worked for an evangelical group, spending time in the Dominican Republic. He convinced a young mother to come back to the US with him. The married in Florida. Not too long after she charged him with abuse of her children. And then she disappeared.
He took of with the step children to Kentucky. Shortly after the authorities put the kids in foster homes. And then he ran off with the teenage daughter. Luckily he was ultimately caught. His wife has never been found.

His 'evangelical group' remains supportive because he is part of their religious group. But Danny remains awaiting trial in KY.
