Gaede 46, is serving a life prison sentence after being convicted two years following a trial in Fargo. Gina Barton an investigative reporter with the Milwaukee journal Sentinel dug deep into the Case and has interviewed Gaede on three separate occasions while doing research for the Book. Barton said she finally convinced Gaede to speak with her after writing him numerous letters in prison. Gaede was himself planning to write a Book on the Bible and thought Barton could help. He says he found religion while in prison that he spent a lot of time speaking with the chaplain that he led Bible study said Barton who remains doubtful about Gaedes claims Given his dubious track record with the truth.
