Wife of swinger pastor asked their threesome partner to be her hitman

Mum-of-three Kristie Evans lived a sordid double life with her church leader husband David that ended with him being shot dead in their bed

- GAIL SHORTLAND

Pastor David Evans stood in front of his congregation every weekend and preached about the need to lead a virtuous life and avoid all temptations in order to achieve salvation. The 50-year-old had served at the Harmony Free Will Baptist Church in Ada, Oklahoma, for more than five years and was respected by the locals. He went on mission trips and even live-streamed his sermons online to reach more followers.

Supporting charismatic David in his religious work were his wife, Kristie Evans, and their three children – a daughter and two sons. David and Evans, who met in high school, celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary in March 2021 and he posted a gushing message, saying, “I don’t own her. Can’t control her. She is my equal partner. And I know how amazing she really is.”

On the outside, David and his wife put on a united, upstanding front. But behind closed doors, they had a very different secret life.

David enjoyed being part of a swinging community, where people swapped partners and engaged in group sex. He particularly enjoyed having threesomes with his wife and other men – and it was during one of these romps in January 2021 that Evans met Kahlil Square, 27. 

David and Evans met Square in a motel for sex and when they all hooked up again a week later, Evans slipped Square her number and they began an affair. When David went away to Mexico on a church mission,Square came to the house.

Evans told Square she was unhappy about her extreme sex life and David was forcing her into it. She claimed her husband was physically and mentally abusive.

David had been back for just five days when tragedy struck. Just after 1am on 22 March, Evans made a 911 call from the family home.
