Summary

In the 1970s the US was in the throes of a unique cultural phenomenon - the ‘satanic panic’. The devil and devil worshipping cults were everywhere and they were coming to get you. This week Hannah and Suruthi follow the case of the Fall River cult murders, a brutal killing spree carried out by a group of self-proclaimed devil worshippers that saw 2 young women bound, raped and tortured to death, and a third missing with only skull fragments and a harrowing story left behind.
