On Thursday, June 20, 2024, Oxygen will broadcast “Twisted Faith,” an episode of the long-running true-crime series “Dateline: Unforgettable.” The episode lifts the lid on the dark secrets and destructive actions of Nick Hacheney, a pastor from Bremerton, Washington, who was convicted of murdering his wife, Dawn Hacheney.
The episode explores the devastating impact of Hacheney’s actions on his congregation, the community, and those closest to him. It explores how his position of spiritual authority enabled his crimes, which included manipulating scripture and his flock to serve his desires and engaging in extramarital affairs with multiple women, including the daughter of the church’s longtime pastor.
“Twisted Faith” uncovers a disturbing story of faith corrupted, obsession, and the abuse of power. The case also inspired a book “A Twisted Faith: A Minister’s Obsession and the Murder That Destroyed a Church,” written by Gregg Olsen.
Dateline: Unforgettable ‘Twisted Faith’ airs Thursday, June 20, 2024, at 8:00 PM on Oxygen.
