she wrote. My soul is for Jesus, but Jason has the rest of me! Karri said she didn’t tell him often enough how much she appreciated him and everything he did for their family: I don’t know what we would do without him.
    Karri went on to say that Jason had “more than honored” the vows they took almost fourteen years earlier. She wrote that in sickness and in health, in good times and bad . . . he has honored me all the days of our marriage.
    He was a Christian role model for the children, Karri wrote of her husband, saying that Jason loved the children, but he was a disciplinarian when it was needed.
    I can’t say enough good things about him, I am truly a blessed woman. Thank you God for bringing Jason and I together, and thank you Jason for being the man you are, Karri committed to paper.
    It would seem that Jason would surely begin to doubt his wife’s professions of abiding and undying love and faithfulness when the jailhouse love letters were made public. With Karri writing to one man about their beach wedding and making love every night, while at the same time writing sexually explicit letters to Nathan Wilder about her desire to be his wife “officially” and claiming to love him beyond her wildest hopes and dreams, where did Jason Willoughby fit into her plans?
    In one of her letters to her husband, Karri wrote that it was Christmas night, foggy and drizzling rain, and how she wished she could be snuggling on the couch with Jason, watching the children playing with their new toys.
    There’s nowhere on earth I’d rather be, she wrote, than cuddled up in your arms.
    Unless, perhaps, she could have been cuddled up in the arms of Nathan Wilder or her other unidentified jailhouse crush. To one of those two prospective lovers, she wrote, Well, they just popped my door so I’m gonna go now. Baby, I love you so much and I’m so happy I got to see you today. You’re always in my thoughts and dreams. Hugs and kisses. I love you.
    The letters that had been posted on Karri’s Facebook page were a far cry from the ones that ended up in the evidence files and published in the newspapers. While her followers were reading about her undying love and devotion to her husband, Karri, at the same time, was writing to her fellow inmates about how excited she was at the prospect of leaving Jason and having a future together with both Nathan and her mystery man after leaving jail.
    Perhaps Jason Willoughby was the only person who really knew the truth about his wife’s dark side and was aware of the extent of all her lies and manipulations. Or maybe, on the other hand, like so many hundreds of people, her betrayals and admission of guilt had come as a complete shock to him. Maybe she’d had him thoroughly fooled into believing all the things she had told him for almost fourteen years. At any rate, the façade of the devoted Christian wife had crumbled to the ground.

CHAPTER 27
    W hen Karri Willoughby left the DeKalb County Jail en route to Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women, the scene at the jail reminded some observers of a celebrity walking the red carpet instead of a convicted murderer walking to a transport vehicle. Karri signed autographs, waved and smiled broadly at the bystanders and the media waiting for her to make her appearance, and even handed out autographed pictures to some of the jail staff before leaving.
    â€œShe thinks she’s some kind of a star,” one of the jailers remarked as Karri made her way out of the building.
    Karri had a few words for those gathered outside to watch her leave for prison.
    â€œJust want my community to take care of my husband and children,” she said, evidently not realizing that her legion of thirteen hundred loyal fans had shrunk to near nonexistence overnight following her shocking admission of guilt. It was unlikely that her community had much interest in continuing to support her or blindly do her bidding. They
