Anthony Hopkins appeared in court Thursday to face murder, rape and incest charges.

Anthony Hopkins was arrested after he delivered his sermon at the Inspirational Tabernacle Church of God.

The Hopkins home is surrounded by police tape after a body was found in the freezer.

Preacher killed wife, stuffed body in freezer, police say.

(CNN) -- An evangelical preacher killed his wife several years ago and stuffed her body in a freezer after she caught him abusing their daughter, according to police and court documents.

Anthony Hopkins, 37, was arrested Monday night at the Inspirational Tabernacle Church of God in Christ in Jackson, Alabama, just after he had delivered a sermon to a congregation that included his seven other children, officials said.

He faces charges including murder, rape, sodomy, sexual abuse and incest.

Hopkins was denied bail Thursday when he appeared before Mobile County District Judge George Hardesty. The case is set for arraignment next week, Hardesty's clerk said.

The case began Monday, when the daughter, now 19, went to the Mobile Police Department's Child Advocacy Center and reported that she had been sexually abused by Hopkins since she was 11 years old, according to an affidavit filed in support of a search warrant of the preacher's home in Mobile.

The affidavit related the daughter's story as follows:

Her mother, Arletha Hopkins, 36, caught her father abusing her in a bathroom in November 2004. Afterward, her parents argued, and her mother locked her father out of the house. The father came to the daughter's window and asked her to let him in, and she did so.

The next morning, her father asked her to help him hide her mother's body in the freezer in the laundry room of the home.

The girl said she moved out of the home about two weeks ago and was living with a neighbor. She told police that her mother's body was still in the freezer.

NEW YORK — A man accused of abducting his wife and four young children from a Massachusetts apartment where another woman was found fatally stabbed was arrested Wednesday by police, who said the siblings and their mother were in good health.

The family was found in Brooklyn, the New York Police Department said. State police in Massachusetts and New York had issued Amber Alerts for the children, who range in age from 11 months to 3 years.

In Massachusetts, Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett said in a news release that police arrested the father, Rodlyn Petitbois, without incident about 6 p.m. as he walked down a Brooklyn street, and that the children and their mother were found safe in a Brooklyn apartment.

Blodgett said earlier that his office was seeking an arrest warrant for Petitbois on a first-degree murder charge. Blodgett said before the arrest the authorities believed Petitbois to be extremely dangerous and possibly armed.

MEGAN TOUMA: DID EDGAR PATINO TYPE DEATH LETTER?

Someone claiming to be a fan of the Zodiac Killer sent letters to the Fayettevile newspaper and police department.

Typewriter Taken From Patino's Home In Touma Case

By R. Gregg, Raleigh Telegram 30.JUL.08

FAYETTEVILLE - The Fayetteville Police said at a press conference today that a typewriter was seized as evidence from the home of Sergeant Edgar Patino, age 27, who has been charged with first degree murder in the killing of Army Specialist Megan Touma in June.

One reason the Touma case has received national attention was that a letter was sent to the Fayetteville Observer newspaper from someone claiming to be the killer. The letter was written in a similar fashion to those seen in the Zodiac Killer cases in California in the 1960's, which were never solved.

The letter taunted police and claimed to be from someone who was a serial killer.

Chief Bergamine disclosed today at the press conference that there were actually two letters in the case, one sent to the Fayetteville Observer and one sent to the Fayetteville Police Department.

Bergamine called the analysis of the letters "critical to this case."

"The letters were used to try and throw off detectives," said lead investigator Joshua Carter of the Fayetteville Police Department. "We have evidence linking the suspect to the letters."

"We felt this letter was typed...to throw us off," concurred Chief Bergamine.

The Fayetteville Police said that they believe a typewriter seized from Patino's home is a key piece of evidence. The letters written to the police and the Fayetteville Observer newspaper were typed on a typewriter.

TYPEWRITER IS A KEY PIECE OF EVIDENCE...

Suspect in Pregnant North Carolina Soldier's Death Was Baby's Father

Wednesday, July 30, 2008

FOX NEWS.COM

A Fort Bragg soldier was arraigned Wednesday on first-degree murder charges in the death of a colleague who North Carolina police say was pregnant with his unborn baby.

Army Sgt. Edgar Patino, 27, told Cumberland County, N.C., Judge Laura Devane that he understood the charges against him and would ask that the court appoint him an attorney.

Patino appeared wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, his hands cuffed in front of him. Devane set his next hearing for Aug. 20.

Earlier Wednesday, police in Fayetteville, N.C., said they zeroed in on Patino after gathering evidence that he wrote a letter to a local newspaper claiming he killed Army Spc. Megan L. Touma, whose decomposing body was found in a motel bathtub.

(snip)

Among that evidence is a typewriter taken from Patino's residence that investigators say was used to compose the note, Carter told reporters Wednesday. Patino allegedly purchased the typewriter the day before the letter was mailed.

Patino of Hope Mills, N.C., is being held without bond since his arrest at his home Tuesday night. He was arraigned at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Authorities said he is married, which Touma only learned shortly before her death, and admitted to fathering her unborn baby.

Patino also acknowledged being in Touma's hotel room June 13, the last day her hotel room key was used, police said.

Authorities charged Patino with first-degree murder after they took him into custody without incident about 8 p.m., but did not release a motive.

"Right now, the motive is going to be held close due to the fact that this is an ongoing investigation," Carter said.

KNOXVILLE, TN: JIM ADKISSON, NICE GUY, KILLS 2 AT CHURCH, WOUNDS 7

Jim Adkisson, 58, was charged with first-degree murder after Sunday's shooting at the Knoxville church.

Greg McKendry, a 60-year-old board member at the church, was one of the shooting victims who died.

Affidavit: Man admits church shooting, says liberals should die
CNN

KNOXVILLE, Tennessee (CNN) -- A man accused of fatally shooting two adults and wounding seven others at a Knoxville church told police the church's liberal teachings prompted him to attack, according to court papers.

Jim David Adkisson told investigators all liberals should be killed and admitted he shot people Sunday morning at Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, according to a search warrant affidavit obtained by CNN affiliate WBIR.

Also, a four-page letter police found in Adkisson's vehicle indicated he was motivated by frustration over being unable to obtain a job, authorities said Monday.

Police said Adkisson, 58, of Powell, Tennessee, walked into the church's sanctuary during a children's musical performance and fired a shotgun before being overpowered by congregants and arrested. Adkisson -- who police said wasn't a member of the church -- has been charged with one count of first-degree murder.

(snip)

Neighbors said Adkisson was quiet and kept to himself.

"He never went anywhere. He never had anybody over. Just, it was really quiet. He rode a motorcycle and you know he would go out on the weekends on his motorcycle, but other than that, you never heard from him," Melissa Coker told WVLT-TV.

Coker told the AP that Adkisson had been a truck driver, but she didn't think he'd been working steadily in the past six months.

"He's just a really, really nice guy," Coker told the AP.

Adkisson's landlord said she did not know him well enough to make any comments on his character but said he was a good tenant who paid his bills, according to CNN affiliate WBIR-TV.
Bail was set at $1 million late Sunday.

Police said people were recording videos of the children's performance when the shooting happened, and investigators were reviewing the videos. Information on what, if anything, the videos show of the shooting wasn't immediately available.
