About this listen
A mother stabbed in the kitchen. A 20-year-old soldier about to be deployed to Iraq, killed in the chest by a curse that never existed. Two masked men convinced they were killing a pregnant teenage witch. The impossible contradiction: no one in the coven questioned that their spiritual leader - the "victim" of the curse - gave the orders for the assault.
In this episode, we explore how a Walmart employee manipulated adults to commit a murder disguised as a sacred ritual. The knife delivered as a "sacred tool," the candles with engraved names, the explicit instruction to "leave nothing in your path." And the truth that destroyed everything: Iria had dated Jackie, Jackie left her for Lindsay, and Iria invented the narrative of witchcraft out of jealousy disguised as witchcraft.
Victim: Josh Bennett
Date: August 23, 2005
Location: Claremont, Illinois
Status: Case solved, sentences executed
- The candle ritual took place at midnight on August 22; the assault began three hours later with ski masks and pepper spray.
- David, recruited as a "powerful wizard," was a criminal from St. Louis with a prior history of murder; Iria knew him.
- Rick attempted to stab the father of the house with pepper spray and accidentally inflicted a wound on his leg while trying to attack; he then fled to the cornfield.
- The declared target, Lindsay, escaped unharmed to the basement; Josh Bennett died accidentally in an operation built entirely on jealousy.
