In 2010, Jeffrey Ryan, his son Jesse, and Jeffrey's friend, Jason DeHahn were found brutally murdered on Jeffrey's property. Investigators would follow a rather tangled web straight back to the murderer.
We also discuss the ritualistic murder of Leroy Carter, Jr. His decapitated body was found in Golden Gate Park in 1981. It is believed that his murder has connections to Palo Mayombe and his murder remains unsolved to this day.
