The Amish Wife

"The Amish Wife: Unraveling the Lies, Secrets, and Conspiracy That Let a Killer Go Free" by Gregg Olsen is a true crime book that delves into the decades-old murder mystery within an Amish community.
The book centers around the tragic story of Ida Stutzman, a pregnant Amish wife and mother who perished in a barn fire in Ohio in 1977.
Gregg Olsen, a bestselling author known for his compelling investigations into dark and mysterious true crime stories, revisits this case to uncover the truth behind Ida's death.
Olsen first explored the Stutzman family's story in his earlier work, "Abandoned Prayers," focusing on Eli Stutzman, Ida's husband, who was later revealed as a gay, Amish-raised serial killer.
Eli's crimes spanned across Texas and Nebraska throughout the 1980s, culminating in his suicide in 2007. Olsen's renewed interest in the case was sparked by questions surrounding Ida's death: Was she Eli's first murder victim? Did she discover his secret life and threaten to expose him?
