Dans les médias, l'affaire sera hautement sensationnalisée en raison de la prédilection de Kasso pour la drogue, la musique métal et son supposé intérêt pour le satanisme. Kasso a-t-il offert Lauwers en sacrifice à Satan? Les deux témoins présents, Jimmy Troiano et Albert Quinones, des amis de Ricky, étaient beaucoup trop gelés pour répondre à nos questions.

Jesse P. Pollack: The Acid King ( Ricky Kasso )Real stories. Real teens. Real consequences.A murder in a small Long Island town reveals the dark secrets lurking behind the seemingly peaceful façade in this latest installment of the Simon True series.On June 19, 1984, seventeen-year-old Ricky Kasso murdered Gary Lauwers in what local police and the international press dubbed a “Satanic Sacrifice.”The murder became the subject of several popular songs, and television specials addressed the issue of whether or not America's teens were practicing Satanism. Even Congress got in on the act, debating Satanic symbolism in songs by performers like AC/DC and Ozzy Osbourne. “The country is in crisis!” screamed the pundits. After all, it was the height of the Reagan era and Nancy Reagan's “just say no” campaign was everywhere. But what this case revealed were bigger problems lurking at the heart of suburban America.Ricky Kasso wasn't a bad kid, but he was lost. To feel better, he started smoking pot, moving on from that to PCP and LSD. He ended up living on the streets and thinking he had nothing to lose. Gary Lauwers went from being a victim of bullying to using drugs to fit in, and finally robbery—but then he made the mistake of stealing from Ricky, and from that moment on, his fate was sealed.A few months later, Gary went into the woods behind the park with Ricky and two other boys. Only three of them came out.The subsequent police investigation and accompanying media circus turned the village upside down. It shattered the image of an idyllic small town, changed the way neighbors viewed each other, and recast the War on Drugs.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Ricky Kasso, aka The Acid Kingwas a troubled teenager, who had a rough childhood, and got into drugs. Big time. This story takes place n Northport, on Long Island, NY in 1984. It was a case that fueled the Satanic Panic because he ran with a group of kids who used Satan as a way to scare people. Although Ricky in his drug riddled mind thought Satan was talking to him. A friend of his stole some drugs from him, and he and another friend lured him into the woods, and brutally murdered him. The media, all too eager to capitalize on the Satanic Panic lumped heavy metal, and anyone who listened to it in with the blame for the case. In fact it was this case where the AC/DC meaning Anti Christ Devil's Children originated from because Ricky was wearing an AC/DC shirt when her was arrested. Itsa crazy story, and we're joined by Todd on this one.

Happy Halloween! On this week's episode we open with a brief discussion on the Satanic Panic of the 1980's and the West Memphis Three, followed by the true crime behind the movie Black Circle Boys, the case of the Acid King, Ricky Kasso. We realized this was no dream, so we got into Rosemary's Baby. Our source material for The Black Cat was from the amazing new book Universal Studios Monsters: A Legacy of Horror by Michael Mallory. No episode on the occult would be complete without a mention of Aleister Crowley and Anton La Vey, who were the sources of inspiration for The Devil Rides Out and The Devil's Rain, two of our favorites. We also discuss The Mephisto Waltz, The House of the Devil, Satanic Panic, The Dinner Party, the horror-comedy The Babysitter, and get finish strong with the hidden symbolism in the one of the scariest films of the last decade, Hereditary!

5 MOST BIZAREE & HORRIFIC SATANIC KILLERS There are killers and murderers and then there are these five. Their motives are utterly sinister and their crimes so sickening and diabolical that it’s hard to believe they actually happened. These are the five most Bizarre & Horrific satanic killers. 5. Ricky Kasso Known as the Acid King, Ricky Kasso was no ordinary metal head. The teen was already problematic when he was thrown out his house and forced to live in the streets and on friend's couches in suburban New York. He was addicted to drugs and often took LSD, On the side he dabbled in the occult and Satanism. Kasso also told friends he was interested in The Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey. He became known around town for shouting "Hail Satan!" from his car window to anyone passing by. His circle of his friends that consisted of drug addicts and occultists proudly called themselves The Knights of the Black Circle. On June 16th, 1984, Kasso claimed he heard Satan's voice commanding him to kill. So together with Albert Quinones and Jimmy Troiano - they lured Gary Lauwers, a fellow junkie and dealer into the woods explaining that he wanted to patch things up after Gary had stolen some PCP from Kasso a few days earlier. 4. Miranda Barbour Known as the "Craigslist Killer," Miranda Barbour who was 19 years old, Together with her husband of three weeks, Elyette who was 22 lured and killed Troy LaFerrara. Miranda had suffered a troubling childhood. At 4, she was molested by her uncle who her mother confirms was sent to jail for 14 years for the crime. Nine years later, at 13, she joined a Satanic cult and conducted her first murder where she shot someone who owed the cult leader money. She spent the next 3 years in the cult where she participated in several murders. 3. Moises Meraz Espinoza It was 2011, then 18-year old Moises Meraz Espinoza walked into a police station, spoke to the detectives and told them he had killed his own mother, 42-year old, Amelia Espinoza. He told them they would find her at their apartment. The cops rushed to the place where sure enough they found a trail of blood leading to the bathroom. They followed it to find the walls and floor of the room covered in plastic. On the floor was a circular saw with bones, blood and pieces of flesh stuck to the blade. 2. Beasts of Satan In the 1990s up until the early 2000s, Italy was rocked by a group of horrific ritualistic crimes. The culprit – members of a heavy metal band who called themselves The Beasts of Satan. Lead singer Andrea Volpe, together with his band mates, Nicola Sapone, Paolo Leoni, Eros Monterosso, Marco Zampollo and Elisabetta Ballarin were all found guilty for committing various heinous and ritualistic crimes on mostly their friends and former band members. Their first two victims were 16-year old Fabio Tollis, their former lead singer, and his girlfriend, 19-year old, Chiara Marino. 1. The Ripper Crew For many, the name Robin Gecht might not sound familiar, but from 1981 to 1982, he was the ringleader in what would be known as one of Chicago's most notorious Satanic cults, the Ripper Crew. Robin, together with Edward Speitzer and Andrew and Thomas Kokoraleis would abduct, torture, rape and ritualistically kill women. The group's first victim was 28-year old Linda Sutton. She was walking home from Wrigley Field when she was taken and her body would be found ten days later in Villa Park, naked and with her left breast completely cut off. so there were 5 of the MOST BIZAREE & HORRIFIC SATANIC KILLERS These ritualistic killings are extreme. The inividuals who commited them derive pleasure from them and also believe it is part of their Satanic religious right to do so, making their acts all the more terrifying and horrific.

Jesse P. Pollack: The Acid King ( Ricky Kasso )Real stories. Real teens. Real consequences.A murder in a small Long Island town reveals the dark secrets lurking behind the seemingly peaceful façade in this latest installment of the Simon True series.On June 19, 1984, seventeen-year-old Ricky Kasso murdered Gary Lauwers in what local police and the international press dubbed a “Satanic Sacrifice.”The murder became the subject of several popular songs, and television specials addressed the issue of whether or not America's teens were practicing Satanism. Even Congress got in on the act, debating Satanic symbolism in songs by performers like AC/DC and Ozzy Osbourne. “The country is in crisis!” screamed the pundits. After all, it was the height of the Reagan era and Nancy Reagan's “just say no” campaign was everywhere. But what this case revealed were bigger problems lurking at the heart of suburban America.Ricky Kasso wasn't a bad kid, but he was lost. To feel better, he started smoking pot, moving on from that to PCP and LSD. He ended up living on the streets and thinking he had nothing to lose. Gary Lauwers went from being a victim of bullying to using drugs to fit in, and finally robbery—but then he made the mistake of stealing from Ricky, and from that moment on, his fate was sealed.A few months later, Gary went into the woods behind the park with Ricky and two other boys. Only three of them came out.The subsequent police investigation and accompanying media circus turned the village upside down. It shattered the image of an idyllic small town, changed the way neighbors viewed each other, and recast the War on Drugs.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement
