What’s Happening:

ABC News correspondent John Quiñones reports on a new episode of 20/20 on Friday, March 21, airing from 9:01 to 11:00 p.m. EDT on ABC, with streaming available on Hulu the next day.
Matt Baker was a charismatic minister at a small church in Hewitt, Texas, near Waco, where he seemed to lead a perfect life with his wife, Kari, a devoted Sunday school teacher, and their two young daughters.
However, the tragic discovery of Kari's death began to unravel the carefully constructed facade of his life.
Matt and Kari met as teenagers at a Bible camp, quickly falling in love and marrying shortly thereafter.
Their relationship appeared strong, with Matt gaining community admiration.
However, tragedy struck when one of their daughters died from a brain tumor, and nearly seven years later, Kari was found dead at home, with signs of suicide.
While Matt received support from their parish and community, Kari's family suspected foul play and launched their own investigation into her death, independent of law enforcement.
The 20/20 episode reveals previously unreleased emails between Matt and Kari, providing insight into their marriage.
It features interviews with Kari's mother, Linda Dulin; her aunts Kay Bailey and Nancy Lanham; and Nancy's daughter Lindsey Pick, who call themselves the "Charlie's Angels" of Waco for their investigative work.
Quiñones also interviews investigator Abdon Rodriguez and former Texas Ranger Matt Cawthon, who were instrumental in the exhumation and autopsy of Kari's body to uncover the truth about her fate.
