Caleb Flynn led worship at two churches for eleven years. He appeared on American Idol Season 12 and told producers on camera that he loved his wife Ashley more than anything. He was the spiritual leader his congregation leaned on.

Prosecutors in Miami County, Ohio, allege the man behind that image was maintaining an affair, sending messages about killing Ashley, and ultimately shooting her to death in their Tipp City home while staging the scene as a home invasion. His defense attorney conceded the affair in the trial's first hour.

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony to examine the psychology of a performer turned pastor turned murder defendant. How does the pulpit provide cover for someone living a double existence? What drives the specific kind of ego that needs a captive audience to function? And was Ashley a partner or a prop in the pastoral brand Caleb was selling?

Caleb Flynn has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence.
