Summer, 1984—at the height of the Satanic Panic. Ricky is a motor-mouthed teen who wants proof the Devil is listening. In a moonlit patch of woods, a dare turns into a ritual and a killing. What follows is darker: Ricky props the body in a lawn chair with sunglasses, invites classmates to look, and turns terror into spectacle—boombox hissing, insects buzzing, and bravado curdling into dread as word spreads and the cops close in.This isn't a true-crime retelling; it's a brutal horror story steeped in Acid King folklore—teen cult swagger, drugs, and a swaggering kid convinced he's owed infernal fame. The consequences arrive in handcuffs and, at the end, a quiet, awful moment alone in a jail cell. Listener discretion advised for graphic violence, drug use, and suicide.What Ricky Did on his Summer Vacation by Dan Wilder

Show Notes: In 1984, a brutal murder in the woods of Northport, New York shocked the nation and ignited a moral panic that still echoes today. In this episode of The Devil Within, we dive into the dark and chaotic life of Ricky Kasso—the so-called “Acid King”—whose obsession with the occult, drugs, and Satanic symbolism spiraled into violence. From his troubled upbringing to the infamous killing of his friend Gary Lauwers during what some called a ritual sacrifice, we separate myth from fact and explore the real horror at the heart of the legend.

This week on North Port Now, we're talking about what's happening across the city this July—from honoring our veterans to shaping the future of our parks and improving city services. We preview the upcoming groundbreaking for the Circle of Honor, a new space recognizing veterans of all U.S. military branches. Plus, find out how you can get involved in the Parks & Recreation Master Plan through two public workshops or an online survey. You'll also hear how the City's online permitting system, Accela, is streamlining services and cutting wait times for permits. And we check in with Deputy Public Works Director Tricia Wisner about a major debris removal effort along Myakkahatchee Creek that supports stormwater flow and flood prevention. Links and Resources:• Circle of Honor Project Info: NorthPortFL.gov/CurrentProjects• Parks & Rec Master Plan & Survey: NorthPortFL.gov/ParksAndRecMasterPlan• Online Permitting (Accela): NorthPortFL.gov/Permitting

In 2008, 21-year-old Denise Amber Lee was abducted from her home in North Port, Florida, and murdered. This case was widely reported on and became well known because of the circumstances surrounding her death. Despite multiple 911 calls, some operators failed to report their findings to law enforcement during the active kidnapping. This ultimately led to Denise not being found in time, when she was right under the nose of police officers stationed around the area. Denise herself even called 911 and tried to get help, but tragically, nothing worked to save her.
