I just read the headlines that Micah Moore, confessed killer
of Bethany Deaton, has retracted his admission of guilt and is now saying
Bethany really did kill herself. You can
read the full story here.
I find this puzzling, but not surprising. It isn’t the first time a death that had any
relation to IHOP was suddenly dismissed or covered up. Sadly, unless this movement is shut down, it
won’t be the last.
In his first statement to police, Micah Moore described
exactly how Bethany died, telling them that he held a plastic bag over her head
until her body shook. That’s a pretty
graphic description for someone who was never at the scene.
Moore’s attorney is saying he made the confession under
duress over the suicide of his dear friend.
I’m throwing a big, fat, red IHOP flag on this one.
He may have confessed while under duress, but it wasn’t from
grief. My guess: if he was under duress it was from fear.
See, Moore might not have killed her… he might have taken the
fall for someone who did…someone like Tyler Deaton perhaps? Or someone else in the upper echelon of the
IHOP organization? Someone who stood to
lose a lot if Bethany ever told the truth about what was really happening
behind IHOP’s veil of secrecy.
The saddest part of this whole thing is that while IHOP tries
to cover its tracts and save its ass, Bethany’s family is suffering with no
closure in sight.
I pray the truth comes out and this prayer alone should make
many leaders at IHOP very nervous. ~
I'm not sure why there aren't more comments, this ia a fascinating post
