Mobile Ala – An Alabama evangelist who authorities say terrorized his family while preaching at revivals has been sentenced to life plus 51 years in prison after being convicted of killing his wife and storing her body in a home freezer.
Circuit Judge John Lockett imposed the sentence Thursday on Anthony Hopkins, 39, who showed no remorse during the proceeding. He got the maximum sentence of life for murder and additional time for convictions including sodomy and sexual abuse.

She said he taught the eight children in his home things about the Bible that were not true and that helped him get away with his crimes for years. Huffington Post online article 21st May 2010

Is there enough forensic evidence to convict [Diazien] Hossencofft and [Linda] Henning when the victim is still missing? ibid.
Hossencofft takes full credit for the crime absolving Linda of any involvement. He claims he planned the murder and Bill Miller executed it. ibid.
Albuquerque NM, a land rich with legends of the supernatural, including UFOs. Linda Henning had a passing interest in UFO until she met Diazien Hossencofft, and her casual interest turned to obsession. Hossencofft convinced Henning that he was an alien, and somehow manipulated her to murder his wife. In 1999, 36 year old Girly Chew Hossencofft failed to show up for work. Her boss and coworkers were immediately concerned for Girly’s safety, because Girly had told them of repeated threats she received from her estranged husband, Diazien.
Detective Michael Fox checked her home for any evidence of wrong doing and noticed the overwhelming smell of bleach, often used to cover up blood. Investigators used Luminal, which emits a glowing light when it comes in contact with blood. The results were frightening obvious; stains on the floor lit up ‘like a Christmas tree’.
Diazien had disappeared, but police were able to question Henning, who showed up as personal reference on papers belonging to Diazien. Henning claimed she didn’t know him well, and she believed he was a doctor, suffering from leukemia. Days later, a hundred miles from Albuquerque, a road worker found bloody clothes and a tarp.

A team of forensic experts will pore over the exhumed remains of renowned escape artist Harry Houdini to determine whether he was murdered more than 80 years ago, the head of the investigative team said Friday.
‘Everything will be thoroughly analyzed,’ said James Starrs, dean of the disinterment dream team of pathologists, anthropologists, toxicologists and radiologists. ‘We’ll examine his hairs, his fingernails, any bone fractures.’
‘It needs to be looked at,’ said Houdini's great-nephew, George Hardeen. His grandfather was Houdini’s brother, Theodore. ‘His death shocked the entire nation, if not the world. Now, maybe it’s time to take a second look.’ Associated Press article 2007
