Happy Halloween guys!!
In Part 2 of The Vampire Cult Murders we fall down the rabbit hole into the Wendorf Murders, discussing how they were murdered, and the events leading up to, and following them. Rod Ferrell is just as sick and twisted as he was when we discussed him yesterday, and we have some questions about Heather Wendorf, too. We go over the Vampire Cult's road trip to Louisiana and the trial, as well as Rod's appeal in 2021.

Remember everyone, if you plan on drinking someone's blood, get consent and, for the love of all that is holy, GET TESTED. don't die committing to vampirism.
