Episode Details

The following episode explores real events involving sexual violence, ritualistic murder, and graphic descriptions of death linked to the Fall River cult killings of 1979–1980. It also includes references to the Satanic Panic era and the exploitation of vulnerable young women. Some listeners may find the details deeply distressing. Please listen with care.

In the industrial city of Fall River, Massachusetts, the bodies of three young women, Doreen Levesque, Barbara Raposa, and Karen Marsden, were found between 1979 and 1980. What began as routine murder investigations soon spiralled into tales of Satanic rituals, occult sacrifices, and cult leaders ruling the city’s underworld.
