One Last Kiss: The True Story of a Minister's Bodyguard, His Beautiful Mistress, and a Brutal Triple Homicide

By Michael W. Cuneo

Book Overview

FROM ADULTERY... Ex-Marine and bodyguard Chris Coleman was a family man with a secret: He wanted to leave his wife for another woman, Tara Lintz. But as head of security for the world-famous Joyce Meyer Ministries--an evangelical organization that frowns on divorce--Coleman had to make other plans. TO MURDER... On May 5, 2009, Illinois police received a call from Coleman, who claimed he was unable to contact his family. When investigators arrived at his home, they found Coleman's wife and two sons strangled in bed. Across the walls, spray-painted in red, were various obscenities--the word punished among them. TO LIFE--OR DEATH. Who could have done something so sinister? As Coleman played the part of a grieving husband, forensic evidence at the crime scene told a different story. Key testimony from Lintz afforded yet more evidence of Coleman's guilt--and soon a jury would find him guilty of three counts of murder in the first degree.

Customer Reviews

Very engrossing story of true crime in middle America

If you enjoy True Crime, you will most likely enjoy this book. It’s well written and very interesting. Chris Coleman was a bodyguard for Joyce Meyer. He killed his entire family and staged it as a murder scene - in Helter Skelter fashion. He was a really dumb criminal. Lol
