Dr. Jack Kevorkian is a polarizing figure. Some call him a murderer. They think he earned the nickname \u201cDr. Death.\u201d But to others, Dr. Kevorkian was a compassionate man who performed a necessary service. Over his lifetime, Kevorkian assisted in the suicides of more than 100 terminally ill patients. He was a champion of the right to die movement. But Kevorkian\u2019s detractors were loud and powerful, and took him to court several times.

Next, put that syrup away. Brandi\u2019s talking about the other IHOP \u2014 the International House of Prayer. In the winter of 2012, a young nurse named Bethany Deaton was discovered dead in her car. Police discovered a suicide note, along with a few bottles of pills. But did Bethany really take her own life? She had so much to live for. She\u2019d just gotten married, she was at the start of a promising career, and she was part of IHOP\u2019s tight-knit church. In fact, she and her charismatic husband, Tyler, were part of an even more tight-knit religious group, known as \u201cthe community.\u201d Days after Bethany\u2019s body was discovered, Micah Moore came forward. He said that he\u2019d killed Bethany \u2014 under the instruction of her husband, Tyler. But as Micah\u2019s trial grew closer, he recounted those statements.

And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
