Religious zealot admits to crucifying beloved pastor in his Arizona home during jailhouse interview

A religious militant accused of a violently motivated attack of an elderly pastor confessed to 'crucifying' him during a chilling jailhouse interview.

On April 28, during a routine welfare check at a New River home, police officers found 76-year-old Pastor William Schonemann - known in the community as 'Pastor Bill' - dead and covered in blood, with his body spread out and hands pinned to the wall.

Nearly a month later, 51-year-old Adam Christopher Sheafe was arrested following a manhunt linked to a series of burglaries - during which authorities discovered evidence in his vehicle that allegedly connected him to the gruesome murder.

Now, almost two months after the horrific discovery, Sheafe confessed to the brutal killing of the beloved pastor during a jailhouse interview with True Crime Arizona correspondent Briana Whitney - and revealed a list of additional intended targets across several states, all religious leaders.

'I drove from Phoenix to Bill's house, like two in the morning on a Sunday night, and I executed him,' Sheafe blatantly admitted during the interview.

On Monday, through a jail-issued electronic device, the 51-year-old inmate at the Coconino County Detention Facility spoke about his 'mission' to punish religious leaders who he believed were misleading Christians.

He claimed that Christianity is wrong, asserting that only the Old Testament should be considered authoritative.

Most of the planning, as Sheafe described, came while he was broke and camping in an Arizona desert following his release from federal prison - the same time he spotted his first target.

'Starting in Arizona, where I was born,' Sheafe said. 'Where it starts and where it ends, like the Garden of Eden.'

In the interview, Sheafe revealed that his initial target was a priest in Phoenix, whom he followed home after Easter services with the intent to kill.

He confessed that this killing was meant to be the first 'execution' in a series of 14 he had meticulously planned across the country.

'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,' he listed.

Four of his targets, Sheafe explained, were 'going to get hit in Arizona.'

'I was going to put the Ten Commandments in order on each of the priests,' he chillingly said.
