WATERLOO, Mo., May 27 (UPI) -- A televangelism operation in Missouri has been drawn into a wrongful death case involving a former security guard, court papers indicate.
The Joyce Meyer Ministries in Jefferson County, Mo. has been cited in a wrongful death lawsuit filed against Christopher Coleman, who has been charged with killing his wife and two sons at the family's Columbia, Ill., home, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Wednesday.
Coleman was arrested last week in the strangulation deaths of his wife, Sheri, 31, and sons Garett, 11 and Gavin, 9.
A wrongful death suit filed Tuesday on behalf of Sheri Coleman, names Joyce Meyer's ministry and Christopher Coleman's clergyman father as "respondents in discovery."
The designation means they can be ordered by the court to provide information about Coleman's finances, work history, private conversations and emails, the Post-Dispatch says.
A spokesman for Joyce Meyer says the organization is gathering the requested information.
