51-year-old Adam Christopher Sheafe admitted to True Crime Arizona on Monday that he murdered an Arizona Christian pastor in April by crucifying the man.
76-year-old William Schonemann, or “Pastor Bill,” was the individual killed by Sheafe in what is being labeled a religiously-motivated homicide as the crazed murderer expressed frustration with Schonemann’s preaching and placed a “crown of thorns” on his head during the crucifixion.
The murderer also said, “Christian pastors are leading people to a false path by following Jesus.”

A Jewish Extremist CRUCIFIED (and murdered) an Arizona Christian Pastor in an elaborate plan to kill 14 Christian leaders in 10 different states in what he called "Operation First Commandment."

“What you’re preaching is not what God said. It’s the opposite of what God said,” the killer said of Schonemann.
Sheafe also had a list of 14 other Christian pastors or priests he planned on killing after the Phoenix, Arizona, murder in what he called, “Operation First Commandment.”
After the Schonemann murder, Sheafe went to Sedona, Arizona, to kill two more religious leaders and got into a high-speed chase with Sedona police.
The killer escaped the police chase after crashing his car into another vehicle, and the abandoned car was recovered by law enforcement where discoveries were made that connected him to the Schonemann killing.
Sheafe was arrested days later.
Describing his plan if he wasn’t arrested in Sedona, the convict said, “From there, it was Las Vegas, Nevada, Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Washington, Billings, Montana, Detroit, Michigan, New York, New York, Charlotte, North Carolina, Mobile, Alabama, Beaumont, Texas and El Paso, Texas. So, four of them were going to get hit in Arizona.”
Making an excuse for the heinous act, Sheafe said killing Christians was “a commandment to rid Israel of evil.”
Continuing to spew bizarre religious rhetoric, the killer said, “I want the death penalty because I want to show that you can’t kill God’s son. The whole story is B.S. I want to be executed quickly so we can get this show on the road and show exactly what I’m trying to do… ‘All you gotta do is worship Jesus and you go to Heaven; your sins are forgiven.’ That’s not what God said.”
When True Crime Arizona correspondent Briana Whitney asked if he thinks God will forgive his sins, Sheafe said, “Absolutely he will forgive my sins. He is a forgiving God and loving God.”
