Satanic Panic - a phrase you may have heard a few times in the past. From people like Richard Ramirez to the Son of Sam, satanic murders are nothing rare... unfortunately. Today's episode is about two lesser-known teen killers who were inspired by Satan and had one thing in common... the urge to participate in a human sacrifice. Ew. Also... Not today, Satan!
Starting us off, Brandon dives into the story of Christa Pike, a troubled teen with a trauma-filled past and some mental health issues. This story has its ups and downs and will leave you asking - why did you have to grab the meat cleaver?! Then Kevin finishes the episode with the shocking tale of Moises Meraz-Espinoza, an 18-year-old who took revenge on his mother, who happened not to like his choice in music. Well, that and his obsession with satanic rituals. Like... can we all agree some people shouldn't have access to the internet?
