Missionary Wife in Angola Charged With Murder of Her Husband Beau Shroyer
Jackie Shroyer has been charged in the murder of her husband, Beau Shroyer, in Angola. Pastor Troy Easton of Lakes Area Vineyard Church confirmed the charges on February 24. Allegations surfaced that Jackie may have hired suspects with whom she had a romantic relationship to kill her husband. The tragic situation has deeply impacted their community and mission efforts.
Jackie Shroyer was arrested in October in Angola for the alleged murder of her husband, Beau Shroyer. Recently, she has been formally charged as a “co-author” in his death, as confirmed by Lead Pastor Troy Easton of Lakes Area Vineyard Church during an update on February 24. Pastor Easton expressed his deep sadness in notifying the congregation of these serious developments.
Beau Shroyer had been serving in Angola with his wife and their five children as part of their mission work with SIM USA. The couple was involved in various community initiatives, including vocational training and establishing a youth ministry center, while sharing their Christian faith with others. This marked their first overseas mission experience, which they approached with enthusiasm.
In the wake of Beau’s death, reported as a result of a “violent, criminal attack,” Pastor Easton stated, “I am heartbroken and in shock. Our grief and sadness has deepened immeasurably as we’ve learned that [Jackie] has been arrested in connection with [Beau’s] death.” The situation escalated further with the arrest of two men connected to the case who worked for the Shroyers.
Authorities have indicated strong suspicions regarding a potential romantic involvement between Jackie Shroyer and one of the suspects. It is alleged that Jackie hired the men to commit the murder for a sum of $50,000, leading to Beau being fatally stabbed with a knife he had previously gifted one of the assailants. This development raises significant questions regarding the dynamics within the Shroyer family and their mission work.
The case surrounding Jackie Shroyer continues to unfold with grave implications. She has been charged as a co-conspirator in the murder of her husband, Beau Shroyer, amidst disturbing allegations concerning a romantic relationship with one of the suspects. The tragic circumstances of their mission work and the subsequent investigation have profoundly affected the local community and their church congregation.
