SATANIC MURDERS

        Shortly after finishing the printing of our new book, _Satanic
Ritual Abuse and Mormonism_, some new information with regard to
Satanism came to light. The first development was the confession of a
satanic human sacrifice by two women in Brazil. The following appeared
in a newspaper published in Arizona on July 11, 1992:

                "RIO DE JANEIRO--A Brazilian woman and her daughter have
   confessed to killing a 7-year-old boy as a sacrifice to the devil in
   a bloody ritual to help save their family's fortunes, police said
   Friday. The women and five other alleged devil worshipers strangled
   Evandro Ramos Caetano, mutilated his body and drained his blood to
   offer on an altar to Satan, said Jose Maria Correa, civil police head
   in Parana state, where the killing occurred.

                "Police found the boy's rotting body in a forest near
   Guaratuba... 'It was a black-magic ritual involving the number 7,'
   Correa said.... 'He was found with his chest slit open.... It was
   terrible, indescribable.'

                "In a taped confession to military police, Celina and
   Beatriz Abage, wife and daughter of Guaratuba Mayor Aldo Abage, said
   they kidnapped the boy by luring him with candy. In the tape, a
   transcript of which was printed in the _Jornal do Brasil_... Beatriz
   Abage said the boy was sacrificed 'to bring more fortune, justice to
   my family.' Seven alleged participants in the ritual are under
   arrest, including Celina and Beatriz Abage, and a man police believe
   was the leader, Osvaldo Marceneiro, known as The Warlock.

                "The mayor, who has not been directly implicated in the
   case, has fled, leaving municipal offices in chaos. Angry residents
   of Guaratuba stoned his house. Correa said police were investigating
   the disappearance of another child, named Leandro..." (The Arizona
   Republic, July 11, 1992)

        In our book, _Satanic Ritual Abuse and Mormonism_, we reported
that Glenn Pace, the Mormon General Authority who wrote the memo which
exposed satanic ritual abuse in the church, interviewed some people in
the city of Rupert, Idaho, a city which is located about forty miles
from the Utah border. In November, 1989, the remains of a baby were
found in a metal drum at a landfill near the city. On Oct. 23, 1990, the
Seattle _Post-Intelligencer_ reported that "No deed was fouler than that
perpetrated on Baby X.... Before she was burned, Baby X... had been
disemboweled and mutilated." Sometime later a boy who had lived near the
landfill where Baby X was found, told authorities that he had witnessed
satanic ceremonies in which babies were mutilated and burned. The boy
also maintained that his own family was involved with a group of
Satanists who participated in the sacrifices and that he also had been
ritually abused (see his drawings in Satanic Ritual Abuse and
Mormonism).

        People who live in the area believe that there is a satanic cult
that functions in both southern Idaho and northern Utah. It is reported
that this group has two High Priests. One, it is claimed, lives in a
rural area of Bannock County, Idaho, and goes by the cult name
"Rosheeba-Son of Oliver." The other leader lives in Logan, Utah, and is
known as "The Raven."

        In June, 1992, an inconceivably gruesome murder occurred in
Burley, Idaho, a city about seven miles from Rupert. Christopher Clark
stated that the body of Benito Ruiz Carabeo "was found June 24,
carefully dismembered and placed in five triple-strength garbage bags...
" (South Idaho Press, July 28, 1992) An investigation showed that the
body had been cut into fourteen pieces. Two brothers, Luis and Anastacio
Rodriguez, are wanted for questioning, but it is feared that they have
fled to Mexico. While some feel that this is just another brutal murder,
others believe that it is related to the occult. On July 28, 1992,
Christopher Clark reported: "From the condition of the body and the
death's correlation to an occult calender date, authorities have not
ruled out a cult motive for the murder." (Ibid.)

        Sometime before the murder, a woman from Burley came forth
seeking protection. She claimed that she had been a member of a satanic
cult which mutilated and killed victims. She had come to fear, however,
that she might become the next victim of the cult and allowed a video
tape to be made of her confession. The video tape was made in the
presence of Christopher Clark, Noel Croft and Ralph Barranger. Paul
Murphy, of KTVX (Channel 4) in Salt Lake City, was able to gain access
to the video and show portions on the evening news on August 14, 1992.
The woman maintained that cult members had conspired to commit the
murder two years before the crime actually took place: "...it was a
contract that we'd written in our own blood and we'd signed in our own
blood that in two years... we would do... this big sacrifice." Paul
Murphy commented: "Weeks before the murder, an alleged former cult
member did leave a message on video tape. She predicted the date and
place of a satanic human sacrifice."

        As noted above, the man was killed either on or very close to
"an occultic calender date," the Summer Solstice, which occurs on June
21 or 22. Satanists consider the Summer Solstice as a very important
Sabbat. It would be an ideal time for a sacrifice. When he was
interviewed by Paul Murphy, Rupen's coroner and mortician, Arvin Hansen,
pointed out that the body "was cut into different sections... it was cut
into different types of cuts like a meat cutter would cut them." It was
also revealed that part of Carabeo's body had been skinned. In this
regard it is interesting to note that there have been charges that
Satanists who perform human sacrifices sometimes skin their victims.
There was, in fact, speculation that Baby X "may have been skinned
before she was burned." (Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Oct. 23, 1990) The
woman who predicted that someone would be sacrificed in the area of
Burley seemed to be familiar with the practice of skinning the victims.
In addition, we have been informed she told of drinking the blood of
sacrificial victims. According to Christopher Clark, the same woman told
of many human sacrifices being performed by this satanic cult--possibly
as many as thirty. She also reported that many of the victims came from
the transient population in the Salt Lake City area.

        We, of course, do not know for certain that her story is true,
but even the Cassia County Sheriff Billy Crystal had to admit that her
prediction of a ritual murder at the time of the Summer Solstice was
rather remarkable. Sheriff Crystal also acknowledged to Paul Murphy that
the Burley case has some resemblance to the ritual sacrifice of fifteen
people near Matamoros, Mexico. Murphy noted that Carabeo's spine had
been cut out. This seemed to be a common practice at Matamoros. In
_Sacrifice: A Father's Determination to Turn Evil into Good_, 1990, p.
119, we find that "After death, Mark's body was mutilated. The spine was
cut free so the sect could use it as a necklace. Before the men buried
the victim, Constanzo ordered _El Dubi_ to cut the legs off at the
knee." The cult believed that necklaces made from the spine would bring
good luck and therefore used them in their occultic ceremonies. On page
177 of the same book, we read that the removal of the spine was "a
trademark found on bodies." The sheriff's statement regarding Matamoros
was very interesting to us because we had previously written of a
possible connection on pages 67-69 of our book on ritual abuse: "Some
people in the Rupert area believe that there is a relationship between
the Baby X case and what went on in the city of Matamoros, Mexico, in
1989. They claim, for example, that people from the area have been in
Idaho's Minidoka county and suspect that they may be involved in
smuggling drugs." It has even been suggested that there may have been a
synthesis of Satanism and the bizarre practices of the Matamoros cult.

        Those who want to know more about ritual abuse will be
interested in the special offer we have on _Satanic Ritual Abuse and
Mormonism_ on the front page of this newsletter.
