To date it's the only unsolved murder in the city’s history. True Believer examines the circumstances surrounding Elizabeth's murder and speaks to the people affected by it as they, and the men suspected in her death, search for answers.

  • An Important Story

    I lived in the St. Louis area and was in the PCA when Elizabeth’s murder happened. It has always puzzled me that it was never solved. This has been interesting and I would like to see it solved and the seminary honor her death with a memorial. My only reason for not giving this podcast a 5-star rating was the use of profanity, especially the taking of the Lord’s name in vain, a violation of the 10 Commandments.

  • Want to Give it 5-Stars but…

    Seriously, the investigative portion of this show is wonderful. And, thankfully, that is the majority of the show. I grew up in other denominations including the UMC, Pentecostal circles, and others. I’ve been with the PCA for quite some time now. I find it very interesting they turned the sword on the denomination over differing opinions of women’s roles in the church. This murder was a one-off event. One-off. A deranged person murdered a seemingly lovely woman. Does the seminary have culpabili... more

  • So good!

    My husband graduated from Covenant Seminary in 2022 and is a PCA pastor, but I had never heard of this murder until this podcast! I really appreciate that you are bringing this into the light, and I hope and pray that justice is found for Elizabeth.

  • Fascinating & Annoying

    Elizabeth deserves justice and early on the podcast does a good job conveying that need. It is well produced and very interesting in the initial episodes . Those are the pros. In later episodes, the podcast becomes annoying for a few reasons. For example, the producers state early that Covenant Seminary feared the podcast would be an effort in demeaning conservative, complimentarian positions. In later episodes, the podcast becomes specifically what CTS thought it might be. While raising complai... more
