MOBILE, Ala. - A Mobile man is facing charges of murder, rape, sodomy, and incest. Police believe Anthony Hopkins murdered his wife, and kept her in the freezer putting his family through a reign of terror and sexual abuse. It happened on Rylands Street.

Police say behind the yellow tape lived a family of eight children who've endured years of abuse. Police say their father, Anthony Hopkins; most likely killed his wife, and sexually abused at least one of his kids. But thanks to one brave child, it looks like the nightmare could be over.

Police say inside the brick walls was a family in pain. Living there was a father, a so-called evangelical preacher named Anthony Hopkins. Eight children were also under his roof. Monday night, one of those children paid a visit to the Child Advocacy Center. She arrived with a startling accusation.

"We had a victim present at our offices who complained about an on-going case of sexual abuse that had taken place over many years," said Steve Giardini, with the Child Advocacy Center.

3. I'll bet we can guess who he voted

for in 2000 and 2004. Bet he was also HORRIFIED at Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky.

5. Not all AA’s vote for democratic candidates,

especially AA’s who subscribe to the evangelical superstitions. I live in the area where this occurred and it isn’t that rare to see AA’s driving cars with Bush/Cheney or W the president stickers on em, not common, but I see it all the time.

6. If the news accounts are accurate, the subject is a sociopath: real charm

and ability combined with a lack of conscience

Such people very often succeed socially: this fellow seems to have decided to play part-time church-singer and preacher

The human tragedy is real and sad: beyond that, the story merely involves a lame excuse for a disappearance and an uninteresting method of hiding the victim's body
