Living Without Denise

Doug and Diane continue to show disgust over their former son-in-law’s actions. “We are repulsed at his calculated, evil scheming. He robbed us of the rest of our daughter’s life. We’ve had to wrestle with Nathan’s hypocrisy in claiming to be a man of God,” they had stated.

Claiming Innocence

Leuthold holds true to his claims and says, up to this very day, that he is innocent. However, the police, the judge, Denise’s family, and the detectives all disagree. The evidence stacked against him was too strong and too obvious to deny. He may have hidden under the guise of being a man of God, and those who belong to his church could only hope that what he did doesn’t affect how people see Baptists. He was one man who let temptation dictate what he did, and while what he did was extremely wrong, the other missionaries have nothing but good intentions for those that they help and serve.
