The Kiss and Kill Murder Jun 15, 2021

Show notes

Happy Monday Cult Babes! This week we’re diving into a case that the 1960s press dubbed ‘the Kiss and Kill murder.’ Aligned with stories of Cult Liter past, such as Death of a Cheerleader, we have a real life story of high school horror centering around 17 year old Betty Williams. What happened on the night of her disappearance from her conservative town of Odessa, Tx? There’s only one way to find out!

The Devil Made Me Do It-The Arne Johnson Story Jun 08, 2021

Show notes

Oh yes cult babes, yes I did, I mean how could I not? This week we’re covering the real life story behind Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do it. The trial of Arne Johnson was the first case in the American court system in which the defense cited ‘demonic possession’ as an argument against murder charges. We’re discussing how 11 year old David Glatzel got possessed, and more importantly how he passed it on to Arne Johnson leading to the death of 40 year old Alan Bono.

Church Of Synanon Jun 02, 2021
