This Friday, March 21, 2025, from 9:01 to 11:00 Pm Edt, 20/20 presents an all-new episode that delves into a shocking murder that rocked a small Texas church community. Correspondent John Quiñones reports on the case of Kari Baker, the wife of Matt Baker, a beloved minister in Hewitt, Texas, whose death was initially ruled a suicide—until her family began searching for the truth.

Matt and Kari Baker seemed to have the perfect life. Married young after meeting at Bible camp, they had two daughters and appeared to lead a happy, faithful life in their tight-knit church community. But when Kari was found dead in their home in 2006, her family became suspicious, believing her death was not a suicide as it had initially appeared. What seemed like a tragic loss soon revealed a darker, more complex story as Kari’s family took matters into their own hands, investigating the circumstances surrounding her death.
