Adam Christopher Sheafe (51) confessed to crucifying William Schonemann (76) at his New River home nearly two months ago. The pastor was found dead in his bed, covered in blood, and had a crown of thorns placed on his head. Before Schonemann's murder, who was known as "Pastor Bill" at New River Bible Chapel, Sheafe planned to kill a priest in Phoenix, the first of 14 planned "executions" around the country. He was about to murder a priest after services on Easter Sunday, 20 April, but the presence of two women dissuaded him. "I'm not interested in executing anyone of than the pastors or the shepherds leading the flock astray." Sheafe was arrested two days after Schonemann was found dead following a manhunt. Had he not been caught, Sheafe said he planned to kill 14 other sky pilots throughout the US. Sheafe says he was following God's law and that he'll be forgiven: "I want the death penalty."
