Summary

In November of 1996, two parents were brutally murdered inside their home - but the killers weren’t total strangers, and more intriguingly, they were a group of teenagers from Kentucky who called themselves vampires, heading for New Orleans. This cult traveled across state lines, leaving behind a scene of ritualistic violence that shocked the nation. These are the murders of Naoma and Richard Wendorf, also known as The Teen Vampire Murders.
