The Vampire Murders: Cult Crazy with Eric Vernor - Mysteries, Mayhem & Merlot

On November 25, 1996, a brutal double murder shocked the nation and introduced the world to Rod Ferrell, the teenage leader of a so-called vampire cult. 

In this episode of Mysteries, Mayhem & Merlot, I’m joined by author E.R. Vernor to discuss the disturbing case behind Vampire Cult Killer, the murders of Richard and Ruth Wendorf, and the dark mythology surrounding the infamous Vampire Clan. We explore the crime, the media frenzy, and the truth behind one of the most bizarre true crime cases of the 1990s.
