Authorities found a pastor from Arizona<\/a> murdered at his home last week. His body was placed in a position resembling a crucifixion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to a report by Fox 10 Phoenix<\/a>, Bill Schonemann, a well-known Pastor, was found dead by police at his home. He had preached for 25 years at the New River Bible Chapel. Officers arrived at the pastor\u2019s home near 13th and Circle Mountain Road at around 7:30 PM on April 28. Disturbingly, Fox 10 says that multiple sources confirm Schonemann\u2019s body was found in his bed with his arms spread out. His hands were reportedly \u2018pinned to the walls.\u2019<\/p>\n

The outlet also says local law enforcement has been \u2018tight-lipped\u2019 since the incident. No details pertaining to suspects or potential motives are available. However, the Maricopa County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office has reportedly confirmed the death as a homicide. When pressed by the Daily Mail<\/a>, the Sheriff\u2019s office reportedly told the outlet, \u2018There are specific and unique circumstances to this case that we are not at liberty to discuss to ensure we keep the integrity of the investigation.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Local Community Is Taking Precautions After The Pastor\u2019s Death<\/h2>\n

The incident has shaken up the local community, with many shocked and confused as to why this happened. Mike Anders, who lived next to Bill for over a decade, said, \u201cEverybody knows him out here. We\u2019re all just at a loss for words. He was super friendly.\u201d Anders also described the crime scene, saying it was surrounded by yellow tape and that police were still at the scene 10 hours later.<\/p>\n

Anders also explained that the lack of information is causing locals to act differently. \u201cWe locked our doors last night, y\u2019know, which is something we\u2019re not used to doing,\u201d Anders said. We don\u2019t know if it was a family member or who could do this to him,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Per the Daily Mail, another resident, Emily Brean, said, \u201cHonestly, I was shocked because New River is so small. It\u2019s quaint. I leave my keys in my vehicles, don\u2019t lock my door. \u201cWhy are you gonna murder<\/a> a pastor or a minister. You know, for what?While details are scarce, the Sheriff\u2019s Office told Fox 10 they believe there is no threat to the community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
