Pastor Nick Hackney and his wife Don seemed like a match made in heaven, faithful, friendly, and committed. They had a real, what seemed like a chemistry between them, just a cute couple. And then, the day after Christmas, came a fire in their bedroom while Nick was away. Dawn died. It was ruled an accident. There was no indication that there was a concern, that this was nothing more than a house fire that resulted in the death of a young woman. It would take years for truth to rise from the ashes. And when it did, it was stunning.

The story has the trifecta of true crime. It's got sex, religion, and a murder. Our latest podcast takes us to a small church outside Seattle for a story about prophecies and premonitions. She said, I'm ready to go. She said, if I were to die, I'm ready. And this was what a day before she passed. A story about a seducer who used God as his wingman.

He felt like God wanted us to be together, intimately. And about a criminal trial unlike any weave ever seen, where a jury would decide whether prophecy could rise to the level of proof. You ever have a stranger case than this? No. Well you answered that very quickly. No, never. In the end, this is a story about good versus evil. There is God, there is also a devil. And this was the devil. Yes. I'm Josh McEquitz and this is Mortal Sin, an all-new podcast from Dateline.
