The Wolsey and Bonilla Presbyterian churches in South Dakota had been without a full-time minister for over a year. In June of 1996 church officials searched for a minister willing to serve at their two small churches. After reviewing several résumés from various candidates, they requested William Guthrie's employment. He accepted their request and moved his family moved to Wolsey. The churches seemed happy with Dr. Bill, as he preferred to be called. They enjoyed his easily understood sermons and were extremely pleased to have a full-time minister even though he didn't follow through with some of his qualifications that were listed on his résumé. Dr. Bill made a special request for time off and assured church officials that it wouldn't interfere with his Sunday services. He informed them that at times he would need to go back to Nebraska for counseling regarding a personal matter. They respected his privacy and didn't ask any questions. There were several personal matters unbeknownst to the churches or his family that were ultimately revealed three years later.

Further information arises, and Dr. Bill is arrested for murdering his wife. He is now Serving Time.
