(CITRONELLE, Ala.) July 15 -- No painful prayer can bring back the father of three. And as an ambulance carried away his body, breaking the bad news was the only thing left to do. "They don't know yet," says Misty Black, Chuck Black's wife, "All they know is daddy's not home. They don't know why yet."
Authorities aren't saying why, either, only that his body was found buried across the street from the Cedar Creek Holy Church of God. The family says one person is behind bars, a person no one here knew, until this Sunday.
"The pastor saw him wandering around the parking lot that morning," says Steve Watts, an active elder at the church. "He didn't know who he was, but he invited him in for the service."
That man came. And Steve Watts says, he asked the congregation for their prayers. Before the sermon was over, he says, the young man slipped out, never saying a word.
"It speaks volumes about the evil in the world today," says Watts, as he shakes his head. "And why people just need peace, they need Christ." But peace is the furthest thing from Misty's mind. Instead, she says, she has prayers of her own. "I know justice will take place," she says, "and at some point that person is going to have to answer to God."
