Preacher Murder's Wife Years Ago, Body Found In Freezer

When in the hell did African Americans become so damn sick? I would like to know!!!

First, it was the Sniper. Next, it was the brother who BBQ-ed his girlfriend after dismembering her body.  Then, it was the young brother who killed his girlfriend and boiled her ear.  Now, an evangelical preacher?

Anthony Hopkins stuffed his wife’s body in a freezer several years ago after killing her, all because she caught him molesting their daughter in the bathroom of their home.

People, when did WE start committing these sorts of crimes?

For years, since 2004, Hopkins, 37, had been telling people that his wife died in child birth. The wife, Arletha Hopkins, and Anthony Hopkins had eight children together, six were fathered by Hopkins. The craziest and most suspicious  thing of the entire story is that the eight children continued to lived in the home with their mother, in the freezer, and went about their lives, going to church and being home schooled.

Right now Anthony Hopkins is charged with murder, incest, rape, sexual abuse, and sodomy. This mofo was on the pulpit, when he was arrested. GO FIGURE! Well at least the police were courteous enough to allow him to finish his sermon...

This case has so many unanswered questions, like, where was the wife’s family? Why didn’t the children say anything? What did he tell the wife’s family when they would call? IP wants to know your thoughts…

Truly we have sunk to a very low level with regards to human dignity and humanity. Truly God is not please with us. This is an awful story.

I grew up in Dallas with Tony and his sister. We lived in the same apartments in Pleasant Grove. His moms was in and out of Prison and his Dad was wierd and crazy as hell. I can say looking back on how they came up... it's easy to see how he flipped out. But to this extreme, HELL NAW.

I am with the L. M. on this one--- when did we did we become so barbaric in our behavior. Used to be a time when only white dudes would do something like this. Not saying we aint got crazy brothas in the hood, but our crimes mostly centered around things... Just Looking Back

An Unbelievable Reality
This is truly devastating, I grieve today for the children and Letha for what was forced upon them and I’m angry and disappointed at Tony. How do you forgive such an act??? God help us!!!!10 years ago this couple stayed in my home for several months, the young man (my wife’s god-son) was unemployed with 3 children with no direction and little ambition, so I suggested the military. He enlisted and started a career which didn’t last very long. However, he kept his family on the move, never in one place for any length of time very unstable. My wife and I lost contact with the couple for several years. When we would hear they were in the Dallas area we would try to visit with them, but it appeared as if he made it a point to avoid us…I see why now.
I believe life is based upon choices and decisions, the good as well as the bad and we live with that. He will have to give an account to God and man for every murderous and indecent choice, decision and act committed.
The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 12:14
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

First I would like to say that I am glad you left a link for us to follow so that we could see the story for ourselves.

I'm not sure when "WE" started committing crimes like this. And it is sick that he was a preacher, but the members of his church should have been able to tell whether or not he was truly called by God to preach or whether he called himself. The Black churches are in a state of peril, because instead of serving God and focusing on being a "village" the Black churches are focused on making money, mass congregations, hooping and hollering, what happened to the truth, what happened to helping others out and taking care of one another??? Maybe this is why "WE" are doing things that "WE" did not used to do. Because "WE" no longer know what it means to love and serve God.

As far as why his children did not tell? That is not something any of us can answer, but it is obvious to me that the man had to be demon possed or something I mean who does something like that to their children, and then kills his wife and stuffs her in a freezer the children were probably scared out of their minds!!!!
