PART SIX OF SIX

Love’s secrets, finally revealed

Independence police detectives Keith Rosewaren and Christina Nunez hovered over the speakerphone at a South Carolina truck terminal and heard rising suspicion creep into David Love’s voice at the call’s other end.

Love’s supervisor had called him to come to the office to sign paperwork — a ruse, actually, so the Missouri detectives could arrest him.

Seven months after Pastor Love shot congregant Randy Stone to death in Stone’s Noland Road insurance agency, a Jackson County grand jury had indicted Love on a charge of first-degree murder.

PART FIVE OF SIX

A clearer picture of motive emerges

Clara Koehler’s wire passed the hug test.

As Teresa Stone greeted her mother-in-law at Smokehouse Bar-B-Que in June 2010, she didn’t notice the transmitter that Independence police had wrapped around Koehler’s waist or the microphone they’d hidden under the blouse at her shoulder.

The tension in Koehler’s gut eased, and the pair settled down to lunch and a chat about the police investigation into the murder of Randy Stone, Teresa’s husband and Koehler’s son, at his Noland Road insurance agency three months earlier.
