Caged Bird
Caged Bird
The True Story of Thomas Bird
A mysterious single car accident on a remote stretch of river leaves the pastor's wife dead. Three bullets fired into the back of the head kills the church secretary's husband--three months after the pastor's wife's death.
The Emporia, Kansas scandal demanded answers Did Rev. Thomas P. Bird and Lorna Anderson conspire to murder their spouses to "spend the rest of their lives together?"
Two Lyon County juries believed the scandal and caged Pastor Bird for LIFE. Pastor Bird entered the Lansing Correctional Facility, Lansing, Kansas, on August 30, 1984. His state appeals failed.
But CBS saw quick money in this American tragedy when it aired Murder Ordained, the steamy tale of two diabolical religious workers caught in bed, in murder and now in prison. But they got it wrong. Dead wrong!
Now the whole true story of Tom Bird's wrongful convictions, life sentence and trial for a second murder is final told.
You'll discover licentious Lorna Anderson, the church secretary with whom dozens of men confessed to having had sex, and who masterminded the murder of her husband, in plain view of their four little girls. Then she blamed Pastor Bird.
Caged Bird is a 736-page, true crime story that will shake your faith in impartial juries in a town that found the word of a lying building contractor more compelling than that of one of its pastors. What did this town need to cover-up? Which of the town's leading men played a role in the shadows of this tragic jury decision?
