Hundreds attend funeral for slain Oklahoma pastor

OKLAHOMA CITY — Nearly 500 people have packed an Oklahoma church to remember a pastor who was killed as she prepared for a Sunday service.

Carol Daniels was found dead Aug. 23 after people arriving for services notified police that the door to the small Pentecostal church in Anadarko (an-uh-DAHR’-koh) was locked. Police found the 61-year-old’s body inside.

Authorities say Daniels suffered multiple gashes to her neck and chest. Investigators say her body was moved into an unnatural position after she was killed.

No arrests have been made.

Pastor Ivan Henderson told mourners at Daniels’ funeral Monday in Oklahoma City to pray that investigators find the killer and that people find the strength to forgive him or her.

The funeral lasted nearly three hours.
