Ep 01: God Only Knows the Answer

True Believer: The Unsolved Murder of Elizabeth Mackintosh

Elizabeth Mackintosh was killed in the chapel basement at Covenant Theological Seminary. The right tour guide will point out the spot, but Covenant hosts no memorial for her. And it’s not like Elizabeth was a stranger passing through… she was a well-respected student at the time she was killed.
It’s been 33 years since her death, so why are some people still finding out about it for the first time? Because for all practical purposes any traces of her, and the fact that a murder even took place, have been wiped from Covenant’s institutional memory.

In this first episode of our series we take a high-level look at Elizabeth’s murder, the characters in the story, and what a small but growing number of PCA pastors and members think should be done about it. Think of this as the 30,000 foot overview. Then in the episodes to come we’ll zoom in on several key aspects of the case.
What really happened in the murder of Elizabeth Mackintosh? God only knows the answer.
