True Detective: The Finders, Kroth, and Satanism

As I continue my investigation for the Satanic Panic Reconsidered, I offer three more real cases that touch upon several of the key elements often denied by those who have constructed the Witch-hunt narrative or Satanic Panic Mythos.

The first case is that of the Finders. A very mysterious series of incidents that lead from Tallahassee, Florida to Washington, D.C. and possibly involves the CIA.

The second case is that of an admittedly Satanic cult called "Kroth". A member of Kroth went on to commit a number of heinous crimes that still chills Pearl, Mississippi today.

Finally, the third case is thought by many to be the real inspiration for season 1 of True Detective. A church located in Hosanna, Louisianna was the site of a number of truly mind-boggling abuses that are as bad as anything depicted in the Oscar-winning series. Indeed, the lead prosecuting attorney said that he was well-aware of the mistakes made in the McMartin trial and was able to avoid those pitfalls.
