Human Sacrifice In The US


Reposted 6-26-16
First Published 3-3-00

 
Note - Since we first published this story, there have doubtless been hundreds or more similar events in the US which never make the 'news'. This list is simply a look back at a few of the known cases of this most inhuman behavior of 'homo sapiens' on the planet. We believe this is now something fairly common due to the simple fact that Satanism and Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) and devil worship are widely in evidence in the American pop culture of 'music' and film.

We have established, by this point, that human sacrifice continues to this day, on every continent inhabited by humankind. There is a possibility, however slight, that Special Agent Lanning and the FBI are somehow unaware of these events outside their legal jurisdiction, spanning more than eighty years, but what of the United States? Is there a shred of evidence that human sacrifice continues in America?
 
Indeed there is, from sea to shining sea.
 
*July 1970 - Steven Hurd and four other California Satanists are charged with two murders involving ritual dismemberment and cannibalism. Hurd is declared insane and remains in a state hospital "his accomplices are duly convicted and sentenced."
 
*July 1970 - Satanist Stanley Baker is convicted in the cannibal- slaying of a Montana resident. He confesses other crimes, committed as a member of the "Four P" cult - a spinoff from the Process Church of Final Judgment - and bloody fingerprints link Baker to another homicide in San Francisco, but California courts bar prosecution on a claim that he has been denied a "speedy trial." Paroled in 1985, he is at large today.
 
*December 1979 - The mutilated bloodless corpses of Carol Marron and Howard Green are found by police, outside West Paterson, New Jersey. Both victims are known to be involved with the occult, and while the crimes remain unsolved, authorities say of the case, "It was definately a satanic murder. And it wasn't a one-man job"
 
*April 1981 - Self-styled Satanist Kimberly Goytia, age 13, is convicted of manslaughter for the shooting death of her sister in Sacramento, California. She informs police that Satan orderd her to fire the fatal shot (Newton, 1993a).
 
*October 1981 - Robin Gecht and three fellow Satanists are arrested following a series of cannibal murders in Chicago. Gecht escapes prosecution for murder, but is sentenced to 120 years in prison for mutilating a prostitute who survived the attack. His accomplices are convicted of multiple murders, with two sentences to death and one to life imprisonment.
 
*July 1984-Teenage Satanists Richard Kasso and James Troiano are arrested for the ritual slaying of a fellow "stoner." Kasso hangs himself in jail; Troiano is acquitted in 1985, after a key prosecution witness admits using drugs on the night of the crime (Newton, 1993a).
 
*January 1986 - Satanic "priest" Harold Smith and four disciples are jailed following a series of murders in Houston, Texas. All are convicted and sentenced for the ritual torture-slaying of a young man at a local cemetery.
 
*February 1986- Dana Jones admitted member of a "sex magic" cult founded by Aleister Crowley in 1907, is arrested for the ritual mutilation-slaying of a man in Denver, Colorado.

Discovery of a black- painted ritual chamber in Fryman's mobile home, including a gravestone employed as an alter, prompts the defendant to admit, "I'm involved with the occult. I think everybody knows that. You don't have a room like that in your trailer if you're not."

*May 1988 - Teen Satanist Terry Belcher is convicted for the ritual murder of Theresa Simmons, in Duglasville, Georgia. A month later, co-defendant Robert McIntyre is likewise convicted, and both are sentenced to life. (A female accomplice is jailed for three years.)

*June 1988 - Satanists Jason Rose and John Jones are indicted for murdering 19-year-old Melissa Ann Meyer "while deliberately effecting a human sacrifice." A videotape of the murder in progress earns Rose a death sentence in May 1989, while Jones is sentenced to life a month later.
