Travis baptized Jodi into the Church of Latter Day Saints. What followed the baptism remains a subject of fierce debate, with Jodi alleging that the two engaged in anal sex, while Travis’s friends maintain that he never would have engaged in a sexual act following such a sacred occasion.

While the exact cause of the fight remains a mystery, many people believe it was that fight that set Jodi’s murderous plan in motion.
