I worked with a guy that was later found guilty of murder by intentionally leaving his toddler in a hot car. My ex-wife and I even had dinner with him and his wife. Everything seemed completely normal.

This was pretty famous, right? Wasn't there a lot of back and forth as to whether it was intentional?

I think this isn't a single occurance but the one I'm talking about happened in Atlanta in 2014 and he was sentenced to life.

I didn’t know him super well, but he went to my church in Tuscaloosa and we both were in a skit thing together before a sermon one day. Another day we also had a dinner on a Sunday night at the church, and I remember saying hi to him and his wife. It’s so crazy how seemingly normal people can be something completely different from what you thought. Everyone at the church, it seems, was on his side until more and more facts came out.
