304. Last Rites: Father John Kerrigan

On the evening of Saturday, July 21st, 1984, the local Catholic residents of the tiny town of Ronan, Montana, all gathered at 5:30 p.m. to celebrate mass with their new priest, Father John Kerrigan, who had just been assigned to their parish.  He never showed. He didn’t show up Sunday morning either.  Days later, his bloodstained clothes were discovered along a highway, but his body has never been found.Father Kerrigan’s case has many similarities to the disappearances and murders of three other priests.  Two of whom knew Father Kerrigan. Could they all be related?Join Cam and Jen as they discuss “Last Rites: Father John Kerrigan”Thank you to our team:Written and researched by Lauretta AllenListener Discretion by Edward October from Octoberpod AMExecutive Producer Nico Vitesse of The Inky Pawprinthttps://unsolved.com/gallery/fr-reynaldo-rivera/https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193119300/john-patrick-kerriganhttps://www.insidehook.com/culture/unholy-mystery-murdered-priestshttps://www.newspapers.com/image/394096896/?match=1&terms=missing%20priesthttps://www.newspapers.com/image/412665061/?match=1&clipping_id=167657715https://flatheadbeacon.com/2021/03/23/the-vanishing-of-a-priest/https://www.newspapers.com/image/1076932453/?match=1&clipping_id=167658436https://www.newspapers.com/image/350294378/?match=1&clipping_id=167658601https://www.newspapers.com/image/241351966/?match=1&clipping_id=167658779https://www.newspapers.com/image/350293577/?match=1&clipping_id=167658861https://www.newspapers.com/image/350304344/?match=1&clipping_id=167658922https://www.newspapers.com/image/350294283/?match=1&clipping_id=167659009https://www.newspapers.com/image/351402921/?match=1&clipping_id=167659122https://www.newspapers.com/image/354806616/?match=1&clipping_id=167659492 Learn more about your ad choices.
